Ron Schmaul

This is for all of you out there who think that Ron Paul has no chance to get the Republican nomination for President. There are even a few who think that he shouldn't even be allowed to debate, as it takes time away from the talking heads who are perceived to have a chance, like Giuliani. Two things to think about before you dismiss Ron Paul: 1) The original Republican party, Lincoln's party, was the humanitarian party, the fighters for equal rights and freedoms, the liberal party. So the question isn't whether Ron Paul is sufficiently Republican; the question is whether anyone else is. 2) Many of the Democratic candidates, especially Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden, are chomping at the bit to take on Giuliani or Romney, because they know they can win against them. Even if you're a Democrat, it's important to realize that it isn't really Democracy if you're running against a weak candidate. Look at what happened with John Kerry.
