Ron Paul: They’re not mocking my candidacy any more
Source: RawReplay
By Eric W. Dolan

Republican presidential candidate Rep. Ron Paul (TX) said on CNN’s State of the Union with Candy Crowley Sunday that the issues he has consistently been concerned with, such as the budget deficit and ending the “endless wars,” have now become mainstream issues.

Paul said he was taken more seriously as a presidential candidate now than he was in 2008, noting that “they’re not mocking me now.” He added that most of the potential 2012 Republican candidates were intent on upholding the status quo.

1. Whatever.....
until I hear him say we need to raise taxes on the upper income bracket and force corps to pay their fare share of taxes, his concern about the budget deficit is just the same old republican crap. When we these dumbassess understand it's about revenue?

And he likes Paul Ryan's budget, says it didn't go far enough. Again....whatever.

2. Ron, They're not mocking your candidacy any more because
You no longer are the nuttiest nutcase in the rase. You've got Michelle Bachmann, the minor league Caribou Barbie, The Real Caribou Barbie, Newtie the Lego and now the Frothy Mixture. Compared to those loons, Ron Paul looks almost sane.

5. Paul's running for president?
Those single-digit numbers had me fooled. How do you "mock" something patently absurd? It's like "mocking" an M.C. Escher drawing by putting it in proper perspective. Who would know?

6. oh ron, whom is deeply in love with himself, paul, we still mock you.
you're still a cowardly libertarian hiding behind a repuke skirt to get yourself reelected.

if you actually ran under the libertarian banner, you would be laughed off the block.

7. They being the crazy people left in the Republican party
The problem is the they changed. The people that have no respect for non-candidates like Ron Paul don't call themselves Republicans anymore and are simply left out of the discussion of politics by the media.

16. Poor guy.
He doesn't understand that you need to be noticed before you can be mocked. Senility scares the hell outta me.
