2. I'll grant you "crazy."
"It... could possibly work," not so much.

3. that's crazy crazy, not crazy like a fox
Outside of the Iraq War and maybe a balanced budget (though via different means), what do Paul and Obama possibly have in common?

Mind you, with their joint fundraising skills, they could probably pay off the national debt in the first week.

32. You're not kidding. I'd have to give that ticket more than a moment's consideration.
It's got...possibilities.

16. foreign policy wise, it makes sense
I'm an Obama supporter, but my 2nd favorite candidate in this race is Ron Paul. What I like about both of them is that I feel that I can trust them to make presidential decisions. Both are men of great integrity, and both err on the side of common sense when it comes to foreign policy. While Obama represents change, Ron Paul represents too much change, akin to a revolution. I don't think he did a great job connecting his policy goals with a path to how he'll get there. For example, if you hear him talk about the gold standard, it sounds like a great idea, but I don't see how he will get the Congressional support needed to follow through with many of his plans.

17. You mean Ron Paul? What a HORRIFIC thought!
Firstly, he is a monster of pure right-wing evil, except for the war, which he opposes for the wrong reasons.

Secondly, I'm not a big CT-er in general, but with some of the people and groups who support Paul, a Dem president with Paul as his VP would probably not have a long life expectancy. Especially perhaps if that Dem president was not Pure White.

And I don't want a President Paul inflicted on the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

24. For me, the crazy part is on target. The 'work' part, though, is not
resonating.

I consider Ron Paul to be a racist.

FWIW, I won't support any ticket he's on, no matter what.

27. citizen_jane, I betcha we have more in agreement than a lot of folks out
there in politics-land.

Thank you -- I'm doin' pretty good for a Bella Abzug/Mario Cuomo/Robert Kennedy Democrat in these lean times. I'm perpetually angry with the mainstream media, but who isn't? And I'm resolved to see IRON MAN this week if we can get a nephew moved into his new apartment. Also I want to rededicate myself to Laura Nyro's ELI AND THE 13TH CONFESSION.

A busy schedule of modest goals. How are you doing these days? I hope all's well your way.

30. Hangin' in there !
I wanna see 'Iron Man'! My family thinks it is so crazy that I love comic to film type movies. :crazy:

MSM - screw'em...they manipulate the news according to their corporate master's wishes x(

As usual for this time of year, busy busy busy on the farm....but I do love to see things grow. There is a certain satisfaction that cannot be explained out of getting in the dirt and growing your own veggies, melons and strawberries. I just had my first picking on my strawberries...can you see?...I look like I have been drinking cherry kool-aid I have eaten so many while fixing them. :o

Stay cool and on an even keel OC. All of this crap here at DU will blow over....eventually.

:hi:

40. No, but
Paul seems to be rooting for Obama lately.

RP has some, let us say, intolerant leanings in his past. A lot of people don't seem to know about them or just willfully ignore them/blame them on conspiracy.
