Ron Paul 2012?

[DroppinScience]

He just won the CPAC (Conservative Political Action Committee) straw poll. I wouldn't mind him being the GOP nominee, myself.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the winners of these polls have gone on to win the nominations for the GOP (Bush, McCain)... EDIT: No, not McCain.

christ wouldnt he be pushing 80 in 2012?

[yeahwho]

Is this the very best the republican party can offer? How do those folks below the quitter Sarah Palin feel?

She quit her job and she is beating those of you still working.

apparently so

although paul has some nutty policy beliefs, at least he respects the constitution and is anti-imperialistic. he's definitely and obviously a vast improvement over batshit palin.
