Whatever point you were trying to make didn't make it outside of your head, I'm afraid.

The President isn't exactly the most competent leader in American history (to be kind). Ron Paul in comparison is very electable.

"Electable" means that enough people think you are not a wingnut for you to get elected. RP seems to push himself further out of that category with every utterance.

No he's not, he's a full blown crackpot and completely unelectable

Whoa hey, I just agreed with you on something. That's like the first time ever.

Do you agree that he's a crackpot or that he's unelectable?

Both! Though perhaps full blown is a tad harsh. He's consistent at least which is respectable.

Electable? Hell no. How do you think an independent would react when they hear his positions of agencies like the FDA? Private sector can regulate food and drug safety? Sure they can, as long as it gets them a quick buck, everything is safe.

I think you're forgetting Droid that companies have never done anything that could harm someone for a quick buck and that only the government would do that.

Yes, he's very electable. Again, all you need is a candidate to beat Obama to be considered electable. Ron Paul fits the definition. Polls, fundraising, etc. all reinforce the notion.

Ron Paul isn't even electable within the GOP field. Considering how liberals and independents view the GOP field that should tell you right away Ron Paul will never be president.

He's very electable. The President is Obama.

Whatever point you were trying to make didn't make it outside of your head, I'm afraid.

obama has basically gone back on a good 90% of his campaign trail promises and a vast majority of the major ones he promised like getting troops home have actually gotten WORSE. he unlike bush i must admit now has a plan for it (long after he gives up his position, regardless of re-election) its still a long way off and in that time hes going to add more into the mix probably making pulling out even more difficult than it should be.

this is one example of obama going back. he also made it clear he would support a banker bailout.. qe2 and a possible rebadged qe3 later we see that promise broken THREE times.

if you cant keep your campaign trail promises and plans, and if you have more contraversy swirling around you HE SHOULD GD well get replaced. rick perry and romney BOTH dont deserve your vote their cut from the same cloth. herman cain while more down to earth is basically pulling from a background of employement that has me really concerned about him becoming obama 2.0 and that leaves ron paul as the last person who could stand a good chance of election.

so it comes down to herman cain the ? black guy, ron paul the at least honest and john f kennedy esque person. or finally you ahve the option to re-elect lying contraversial obama..

i guess another option too would be to see what would happen regarding huntsman or bachman but i imagine them to drop out soon as both of them have never come CLOSE to winning a poll. same goes for santorum.

so on the democratic side hillary is all but assured.

so in the end if obama faisl re-election its hillary (and hillarycare) vs ron paul, herman cain or in the unlikelyness of it all bachman, huntsman or santorum.. gotta say ron paul is looking awefully tempting right now.

I disagree. Republicans are willing to go with any candidate who can beat Obama. And if Ron Paul can do that with more independent support than any other candidate then they'll go with him. This won't be your typical election. The fact Ron Paul polls in double digits already is amazing.

No John Huntsman and Romney are the sort who can attract independents. Ron Paul is the sort who give Obama an automatic victory.

I don't think that Ron Paul's $8M warchest stacks very favorably against Obama's $86M, or against the similar sums banked by Romney and to a lesser extent Perry.

Based on polls Ron Paul attracts as many independents as anyone. Democrats want someone like Romney or Perry to win the nomination. Ron Paul would win republicans and three-fourths of independents. That's scary to democrats.

Then why is Paul trailing Perry, Romney and a three day dead dog in GOP polls? Or are you describing what is happening in the same alternate reality where the administration is about to start ordering drone strikes on journalists who say mean things about the President?

Ron Paul a few months ago wasn't even double-digits. He's gaining ground and his super-PAC just had a huge fundraiser.

Fortunately I'm not an American so I don't really have to deal with what occurs. However from my cushy observational seat I get a pretty good unbias view of events. Romney would be a better choice and get more support from independents and perhaps even take some democrat votes whereas Ron Paul would scare most people who aren't hard line anti-fed and fundamentalist.

The polls have been pretty consistent in suggesting that Romney would fare better against Obama than Paul would.

Ron Paul would win. Look at the polls carefully. Obama is only ahead by 5% with 10% undecided with a margin of error of 3-5%.

That would be a Ron Paul victory.

You realize how quickly those polls would change when the general public started paying attention to Paul and what his ideology would mean for them? Every union, TONS of powerful interest groups like the AARP, the medical and pharmeutical industries... I mean... damn. You're entitled to dream, but this is straying into the realm of a delusion.

I disagree... he's not even that... he's a tick on the *** of American politics, gorged on the blood of self-styled libertarians and people who get off when reading Ayn Rand. Given a general election, he would be crucified, possibly literally. For every decent idea he has as a consequence of his ideology, he has a dozen more that are insane. Like a tick, he appears large until you realize it's all bloat, blood for the tick, and the hot air of people who think that 'Atlas Shrugged' was non-fiction.

[QUOTE="DroidPhysX"] http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2012/president/president_obama_vs_republican_candidates.html Obama across the board vs Paul.DroidPhysX

Ron Paul would win. Look at the polls carefully. Obama is only ahead by 5% with 10% undecided with a margin of error of 3-5%.

That would be a Ron Paul victory.

Or a Barack Obama blowout. See what happens when you tell both side of the story.

Nope. Ron Paul would win against Obama if the elections were held today.

You realize how quickly those polls would change when the general public started paying attention to Paul and what his ideology would mean for them? Every union, TONS of powerful interest groups like the AARP, the medical and pharmeutical industries... I mean... damn. You're entitled to dream, but this is straying into the realm of a delusion.

And interest groups won't attack every candidate for something?

No candidate would happily run afoul of so many at once, so no. Put Paul against ANY candidate, and you'll have a majority of the most powerful groups trying to assasinate Paul.

[QUOTE="Ace6301"][QUOTE="PWSteal_Ldpinch"] Do you agree that he's a crackpot or that he's unelectable?PWSteal_Ldpinch
Both! Though perhaps full blown is a tad harsh. He's consistent at least which is respectable.

I was confused because you supported him in the Al awlaki thread.

I agreed with him to a certain extent, mostly because of a coincidental view point crossing more than anything. I don't approve of where he's taken his stance. He's just gone from one end of fear mongering to the other.

You do realize that you can say anything you want, but it doesn't change reality, right?

Let's dismiss the poll and go with your bias. Sure, that works out.

I just don't agree. Everyone else will be attacked like crazy too. It would simply be a new kind of attack.

Study the polls carefully. They don't even add up to 90%. Some only add up to 78%. Undecideds historically break 2-1 if not 3-1 in bad economic years. It would be a Ron Paul victory if held today. On top of that the electoral college will benefit any republican more this election than last.

We get it... you don't understand polling or election-run-up politics... you think Paul is a shoe-in, which is your own view divorced ENTIRELY from reality. Can we get back to the topic of the TC since this is CLEARLY going nowhere?

And you conveniently dismiss the fact that Obama is leading and your pro-paul bias.

Yet that sounds crazy like a conspiracy theorist, mostly because you just state it and in no way support that conclusion. Sooo.. yeah, just saying something incredible and walking away sounds pretty nutsy.

Yea study the poll like I said above. On top of that look at 2012 electoral map and the changes from 2008. Any republican will benefit from the changes.

You might as well say that a Brony will be his running mate, and they'll be elected primarily by martian tube-worms. Anyone can string words together to reach absurd conclusion, it's not impressive. Your use of the polls shows either a desire to represent a reality that doesn't exist, or a profound lack of understanding of such polls coupled with an unwillingness to learn.
