Ron Paul has no chance. It's too bad this is ideas are good and would certainly straighten out the country. But he will not get the Republican spot. If he runs independent it will just assure Obama another four years which looks likely anyway. Obama who is already spent more than all the other presidents combined. Even if Ron Paul could get in, he could never get anything passed by the House and Senate and he would achieve nothing except frustration.  View

As I keep saying, even if he made President (but he can't with electoral college) he couldn't achieve anything as House and Senate would shoot down everything. It would a wasted 4 years. If he runs independent it will guaranty Obama will be re-elected. We are stumped.  View

Now I know president Obama has lost it. he is trying to cut costs in the military, which only represents approximately 20% of the federal budget, and redistribute money for class warfare. I hope that congress and the senate don't buy into destroying the USA ability to protect its self or its friends. multiple times in our history we've had to fight two wars at the same time. not having that ability could ruin the USA.  View

AIDS is more popular than the senate.  View

He's too old and sounds like a crackpot, but if we followed his plan would be out of this mess. The trouble is Senate and House would never approve his measures. Yo the way could possibly work, if it's even a good idea, is to get a lot more tea party members in Congress then someone like Paul could make major changes in the US.  View

Really? Do the Republicans honestly think they can win support in the next election when they're continuing to side with profligate corporations at the expense of rapidly dying middle-class citizens? Let Obama appoint someone. The Senate is being difficult, so Obama might as well reciprocate.  View

What the heck? The "Super" committee just failed to come up with budget plans. Leaving it to mandatory cuts in social and military programs. So now the Senate is trying to raise the military expenses? So maybe the mandatory cut will be off the highest price they can get it to prior to the January 2013 effective date. So that cut may end up as no cut at all but another increase.  View

Sorry Mark Ron Paul can't do it either. He have to have the House and Senate agree, and that won't happen. Paul could get nowhere and wish you got a complete Tea Party government. And maybe it's time for that.  View

This story is way too vague. What is the bill called? Who proposed it? Who opposed it. Did it pass the House? Did it pass the Senate? Will Obama sign it? This is story is so vague I'll call "Worst Reporting Ever"  View

Sorry to say greed does not stop at the House and Senate door. I think most could be called crooks in some form. Why else would lobbyist, PACs, re-election committees, etc give hundreds of millions of dollars to elect these people. THEY GET SOMETHING IN RETURN!  View
