The AFP has said that Ron Paul “has made his mark as the most radical and unorthodox” which might be one reason why the presidential candidates see him as such a threat.
Although every presidential candidate will have different political views and ones they hope will be related with the most of the U.S. population to get them to the job of president, it is very true that Ron Paul is radical (and that’s what’s needed…CHANGE).
Do you agree with their view that the Republican Ron Paul will “almost certainly not be the next president of the United States”?

I am saying RON PAUL is the next President.
And AFP is wrong. Radical & Unorthodox?
Look at Ron Paul’s history as congressman & other leading democrats & republicans then you post such a misleading article like that.
Frankly, I don’t give a damn what the AFP’s view is. You vote for the best person you determine is best for the job - you don’t vote based upon the opinion of others. If you need to rely on the opinions of others to come to a decision then you have no business voting.
This is just more poor journalism. Labeling Ron Paul a radical because he adheres to the Constitution and actually has solutions for the country’s problems. The other candidates are the real radicals in any sane world. They’re the ones that intend to continue pointless wars and murder of foreigners. They’re not only radical they are completely immature and irresponsible with their policies.
The media will always use words of discouragement like “radical” or “unelectable” and a host of others, what that means is that Ron Paul hasnt been anointed by special interests.
I find it pretty funny that while we assume there are free elections in American, but they are given the front runners so far in advance even without polling, clearly a “approved” group to choose from by the elites.
Ron Paul does have a chance in a fare election, absolutely YES! will it be fare, it hasn’t been for a decade I don’t see why it would be now.
I would have to say he does have a chance. Granted he isn’t wanted in the debates, but he is gaining ground. I had noticed a common quote in many of the chats.
“First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, then you win.”
– Mahatma Gandhi
If this election becomes a referendum on the current wars and foreign policy, domestic and international monetary policy, immigration, or national sovereignty I do not agree.
For some time now the American Political elite have acted in a manner contrary to the interests of the American people. Few Americans can even identify with the political desires of our so-called “representatives.”
Ron Paul stands for common sense. He’s the only political figure in the last twenty years that has even begun to suggest that America should look after itself.
I’m sick of the world feeding off my labor.
I’m sick of people being killed and pressured in my name.
I’m going to vote for Ron Paul.
“Almost certainly not” is a step up from “no chance”.
Personally, I use his national polling data as an indicator of what his chances are. At the moment, I’d say the chances of President Paul succeeding President Bush are about 5-10%.
This is not your garden-variety presidential race, and people realize that we need something more than “business as usual” if we are to avoid a collapse of an economy that’s becoming more a house of cards every day.
The rapid changes in communication and information technologies and the polling organizations’ use of obsolete means of contacting “likely voters” gives Ron Paul, Mike Huckabee, Tom Tancredo, and Duncan Hunter a right to question the accuracy of their supposed single-digit national support. People are not as willing to “buy in” to the low poll numbers by not bothering to go vote. This primaries may shock a lot of people, especially if young adult voters are motivated to show up.
We are witnessing a historic paradigm shift that will knock the polling organizations, the conventional broadcast media, and two major political parties on their collective ear.
Desparate times require desparate measures. We MUST have somebody to make dramatic changes. It’s a real shame that the guy who makes the most sense is labeled “radical” and “crazy”. It’s equally shameful that the media has so much influence on politics.
Despite the media’s attempted blackout, Ron Paul will indeed prevail. You can’t keep this cat in the bag much longer!
He’s not radical, unless compared to how far modern goverment has drifted from classical American values. Oh, and how little attention they pay to the Constitution.
In my opinion, the AFP is wrong, Ron Paul has a very good chance at winning the Presidency. He certainly has my vote.
