I heard people today saying there's no way he'd run again. Well there you go =)

We need the announcement early and organization. Funding etc...
I'm already jazzed about it. Please Dr Paul! Please!

 

[Pauls' Revere]

Bombs away!

$$$$$$$$$$

 

[satchelmcqueen]

Ron must run. Please run .!!

 

[tonesforjonesbones]

Well. if he does, I'll support him. I hope he decides soon so we can get busy. He's still the best one...and it will spread the message even more. I don't think the powers will let him win, but its good for continuing to build the movement and get back to the Constitution. Any time Ron Paul can get a national forum...you bet it is a good thing.

i would like to know soon. i'm ready to work again.
i must admit that is an exiting prospect.

 

[tonesforjonesbones]

Hopefully we will know in the next six months. I'm ready to get started. tones

The sooner we know, the sooner we can start the roots machine.

Unfortunately, RP seems to be the strongest uniting lightning rod.

This is great news. We need to encourage him because he inspires liberty like no other. I hear alot of people say he is not charasmatic when he speaks. I disagree. Everytime he speaks I feel like I'm listening to Thomas Jefferson. The passion comes across with his honesty like no other.

He is an incredible man to even contemplate doing this, after a year of 80 hour work weeks, doing two jobs at once. And Benton is right, the time to start is relatively soon. These dime a dozen neocons had their machines set up years before us in Iowa and New Hampshire.

Make Ron Paul 2012 signs.

Make Ron Paul 2012 signs.

Cool. Put them on your lawns now. Just pretend the results of 2008 didn't matter.

 

[MRoCkEd]

if so, he should start campaigning in Iowa and New Hampshire immediately and when 2010 rolls along, he should perhaps retire from congress and devote all of his time to campaigning for the presidency.

Imagine all across the USA Ron Paul 2012 / C4L signs, stickers, banners start spurring up out of nowhere. I would be loving it.

If RP is ready to give this another crack, im ready to make this shit official in RI.

Ok, perhaps I'll be unpopular for saying this but...I just can't get past the age thing. Sure he's a healthy guy and all, but he'll be 77 when he takes office...at the most you're going to get 4 years out of him, and then running again at 81?

I'm just trying to be realistic here...my father's almost 75, none of his brothers made it to that age and we don't dance around the reality that he's only got a few years himself, he's living it up while he can.

I hope Ron Paul lives to the ripe old age of 110 as healthy as he is, but I do think the age thing would be a factor with those less faithful.

I'd still support him with all of my strength though if he runs.

RP still rides his bike though =p

Teddy Stevens is 85, his age did not seem to be an issue...

Benton said by mid-2009, so apx. 6 months, no later than 8 months.

So what if he is only a one-term president? If he is any good at all, he'll be able to virtually appoint his successor in the form of his VP, who can be young enough to go for the full 8 years (so 12 years total). Of course, we also need to get to work on Congress at the same time. I think that if Dr. Paul runs, he should have a slate of Congressional and Senatorial candidates in both 2010 and 2012, maybe even 2014 if he wins.
