I agree with you, but you gotta understand that there are to many people out there that would not give him a chance.....the reason i was thinking this is due to the fact that the R & D canidates are pretty locked in and if Paul were to hold VP he would have a direct impact on policy and shit! Sadly i believe it would be the best chance we'd have to get Paul in a position to make a real difference.
Plus it would be an "across the aisle" Duo!! Bring people together, then we would be able to keep the Oval office in check. JMT

I'm pretty sure if Obama picked paul for VP, a percentage would desert the ship and vote McCain. I wouldn't mind that combo at all.

See their may be a small percentage that would but i have talked to so many younger people that said "oh well McCain is the R canidate so i'm not going to vote"
Well shit, I know of hundreds of people in my community that would vote for Paul, but may not vote at all b/c "their" canidate didn't make it.
There would be an influx of swing voters in Obama's corner, (or should i say Pauls)
Besides the next four years is going to be a reset for out country, IMO, and if people could see where Paul was coming from he may just have a chance!

That is something I never once considered. However, being as familiar with the good doctor as I am, I sort of doubt he would do well with Obama. Obama has already shown during his tenure in Illinois and now as senator that he is just as much for sale as the next guy. Ron Paul's integrity is too strong to cotton to that without some serious objections.So what do you think about it? Barack Obama and Ron Paul? I think it could work........maybe alittle Ying/Yang??

Sadly, I agree. Most Americans are too ignorant, naive, or just plain stupid to realize what's been going on in Washington. Washington feels the same way, which is why the politicians and the lobbyists make the policy of "whats best" for America.
Waffles: You HONESTLY think bipartisanship is alive and working? There is no such thing as Democrat or Republican; liberal or conservative. MONEY buys the Presidency; MONEY buys Washington.
From the Bush's own mouth: you're either with us, or AGAINST US.
Voting for someone else to enact "change" is going to bring change.
::jingles coins in pocket:: Hear that? That's the "change" you'll be getting come November. Pocket change.
Ok, I'm done ranting for the momment. I'm not trying to demean anyone, just expressing.

O'Bama and Ron Paul in the same room together? Never happen.
On the other hand, they could put the gloves on and debate the positives and negatives of the Federal Reserve, the Income Tax, The Drug War, The War on Poverty, Affirmative Action, The Welfare State ... and all the other BS that Ron Paul would win on hands down. ~lol~

Indeed. Although I think the current administration used it as toilet tissue first. Then they hung it in our faces, pointed at us and said "See.. look what YOU made us do."Oh, just seeing them debate the Constitution would be fucking RICH. Seeing as how Obama used to teach constitutional law but seems to have forgotten every bit of it... or maybe he just threw the spirit of the document out the window after he wiped his ass with it.

See thats the thing.....Ron Paul would keep him honest! Plus after B.O's first 4 I'm sure Paul would have stirred things up enough to be a real shot for the R canidate....
Why can't they be in the same room together? Maybe if someone would actually do something like this it would show that differences don't really mean shit, its about compromise. I don't know, I think it would be amazing and have written both Paul and Obama, and will continue to do so!
By the way....you write your rep everyone?

No, its not about compromise. You don't compromise when it comes to liberty. You stand on unwavering principle.

I was wondering if you were going to make it in here!
And the day the Government lies down and says ok lets do it. . . . . . i will be hand in hand with you Vi, but realistically, You need to compromise to move forward......not on everything such as the constitution, but there are other things invovled.
See if two people/political beliefs don't agree, talk, and come to a comprimise that benefits all then progress has been made! And honestly a little progress would go a long way right now.
Its a process, you can't just get rid of everyone at once....it wouldn't work....but if you slowly introduce the idea via a few, it will catch on and snowball! If the government becomes less corrupt in my life time. . . . .well lets just hope it does!
