1. Bad News!
Taz Man ,   USA   (11.06.11)
This guy's elevator doesn't go all the way to the top floor; he's a complete idiot! Also, he's an Anti-Semite. Where do they find people like this? It amazes me, but I guess even useful-idiots have a place in the strange dynamics of the geopolitical world. God help us! God bless Israel and His Jerusalem (Muslim free)! A Christian Zionist
2. Ron Paul is a whack job
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (11.06.11)
Has he somehow missed the violent demonstrations screaming "Death to America?" How do you propose to reach out a hand in friendship to people who consider the United States to be the "Great Satan?" Iran is the head of the viper. It needs to be cut off. Ron Paul is just a jackass.

8. Wow!
Sunshine ,   Germany   (11.06.11)
Another idiot tries to enter the White House. After GWB and VicePresident candiate Sarah Palin now this guy.
9. Ron Paul the Nut Case
Brod ,   USA   (11.06.11)
Ron Paul is a nut case. He should not be running as a GOP. He is an ultra Libertarian. America has too many of these nut case politicians from Kucinich to Ron Paul.
10. friendship
alexi   (11.07.11)
Ya, paul would have said the same thing about hitler, and then 50 million wuold have been killed. He is an absolute isolationist who could care less about poorer different dominaitonal people.
11. Ron Paul is an idiot...
Maurice ,   Montreal   (11.07.11)
Have you seen him in the movie "Bruno"? That would be enough to convince you. I would be scared to think this idiot running the US!
12. How did such a stupid man ever become
jason white ,   afula,israel   (11.07.11)
a doctor? He is a total idiot and the people of his congressional district wasted their votes on this fool. But then again slick willie invited the arch terrorist murderer arafat to the White House 11x. More than any world leader.And the first foreign "leader" that b.o. called after being sworn in was the Holocaust denier and terrorist abu abb-ass. Too many idiots are politicians both in Israel and the U.S. If we can survivie them, then no enemy can destroy us.
13. Ron Paul is the only sensible politician in the U.S...
Mark Wilson ,   U.S.A   (11.07.11)
14. I knew it all along!!!
Israeli 2   (11.07.11)
All those backing Ron Paul don't GIVE a hoot about ISRAEL. To these Americans, most of whom are the nutjobs of the right are even anti-semitic. So...conclusion... Anyone concerned about Israel, do NOT vote Ron Paul.
15. Pretty sure this does not make him Anti Semetic
Justin ,   USA   (11.07.11)
16. Ron Paul is best for USA and Israel
Adam ,   USA   (11.07.11)
Ron Paul is right. We should not be running around the Middle East like a bunch of cowboys. Iran does not have the capability to attack the USA. Iran is Israel's problem. Without our military in Iraq, Israel could have free skies do to do what they deem necessary to defend their country. Also, who in the US elected government stood alone in support of Israel's attack on Iraq's Osirak nuclear reactor? Ron Paul of course.
17. RonPaul
Spencer ,   Israel   (11.07.11)
He didn't have much of a chance, but what little chance he had, he's just blown.
18. Delusional cat=ron paul on this mother of all concerns.
Hippocrates ,   Earth   (11.07.11)
death lovers with nuclear bombs and fanatacal intolerance for rights of others.
19. he lost a bunch of votes with that statement !
Galut ia ,   Selah   (11.07.11)
20. Here is a man wasting time space & money
Pasquinel ,   London Canada   (11.07.11)
21. The only normal republican among a herd of loonies.

22. friendship is preferrable to war
Dave from Brazil ,   Sao Paulo, Brazil   (11.07.11)
We cannot deny that. If Iran does indeed attack the United States in its borders, rest assured Ron Paul will take care of them. But he is not an interventionist, and will not place Israel's interests above US interests. Right now the US has many problems at home and it can't go on having wars in the Middle East.
23. An otherdangerous believer you can negociate with a dictator
Joe ,   Canada   (11.07.11)
Ron Paul does not even consider the recent failure of the "open hand" policy which the Obama administration tried with Iran. He does not remember any of the historical precedents of distratous consequences of dealing with tricky despots as if they were honest democrats. He can't understand that asking a dictator, especially a religious fanatic, to compromise is inherently impossible for him since it goes against his very political survival. Iran has not taken any step over the years under the Ayatollahs to live in peace. It has continuously tried to destabalize & used propaganda & terrorism directly or through proxies to extend its religious & political reach in seeking regional hegemony. Try getting friendly with thugs. The least you can do is isolating them to limit their evil inside their country & show support for the opposition, an attitude which was not taken by Washington when Iranians demonstrated in large numbers against the fraudulent elections which kept the regime of the oppressors in place. Is Ron Paul, such a naive politician, a plausible candidate for the US presidency?
24. what do we do if Iran doesn't want to be friends
allan   (11.07.11)
25. Just Won Illinois
Mark of Lewiston ,   USA   (11.07.11)
Ron Paul just won Illinois Straw poll. Somebody likes his ideas.
26. Wonder Why he's Gaining in Republican Polls
Mark ben Josef ,   USA   (11.07.11)
He just won a straw poll and his numbers keep going up in the Republican field.
27. confirmation this man is an out of touch wacho.
ralph   (11.07.11)
28. How can people live to his age....
Malone ,   Hfx   (11.07.11)
....and still be so naive? He's as bad as obama..
29. Response to 14
Adam ,   USA   (11.07.11)
One of the prime reasons I support Ron Paul is because I support Israel. Here is a short list of the many reasons why: Ron Paul would... 1. end US involvement with the UN, an anti-American and anti-Israel haven for the worst violators of individual rights in the world 2. never force Israel to surrender territory to her enemies including the PA, ending the free ride for Abbas and his gang of terrorists 3. end foreign aid to Israel's enemies 4. end aid to Israel. Without American military aid, US and Israeli weapons companies will be more competitive on the open market. Maybe Israel could even make a new Lavi? 5. not stand in the way of an Israeli strike on Iran All other candidates would continue the same nonsense and force Israel to suckle the teat of America. I hope you like rockets on the north and south, ethnically cleansing Sinai and Gaza of Jews, Oslo, Wye, the Road Map, Annapolis because that is what you will get with every other presidential candidate who wants to continue this US-Israel special relationship. With Ron Paul, Israel would be free to act in her best interests without pathetically having to ask US permission first.
30. Ron Paul
Moragh   (11.07.11)
campaigning for the Presidency. I thought he was a young man. Gee whizz, he looks as old as the Hills. By the looks of him, I think he is ready to drop in a heap!
