“Here’s why Paul has absolutely no chance of ever becoming president: Americans were not ready to vote for a 72-year-old President McCain in 2008, so they’re sure not ready to vote for a 77-year-old President Paul in 2012.”
– Why his silly campaign launch today really matters for 2012

Plus? If I’m not mistaken, the ‘Legalize Heroin‘ fans are still considered the fringe in America. Not a big base. And I won’t call Paul a “Truther” because he says he’s not — but I WILL say he has pandered to Truthers in the past. I’m not even going to get into his historical racist crap (coincidence he used $5 million of his remaining 2008 campaign funds to start the tea party?) or his phony less-government-unless-you-have-a uterus pandering to the fundies.
For those who do support Paul, apparently they also believe in recycling — which is a good thing. They can use that sign again in 2016:
I think his latest comments where he says he wouldn’t have authorised the raid on Bin Laden and would have told Pakistan’s government about it will probably have alienated a good deal of his usual support base. Frankly I’m amazed he’s still going at 77. He’s only really running though to raise the profile of certain issues and he’s getting less and less effective at doing that as time goes on. Newt Gingrich will probably end up inheriting much of Ron Paul’s former vote.
Remember the ’07 – ’08 campaign …
Remember what they did, remember who did it.

This time an entire citizen army of every stripe stands beside Dr Ron.
Really? You think McCain’s AGE is what kept him out of the Oval Office?
Oh, God, no. But it was probably one factor in the end.
