about the process and the outcome. according to some polls ron paul is now that good in the us republican presidential candidate the race doesn't really have a chance this week let's talk about that do you think ron paul had a chance i personally don't right now looks weak just physically good old just looks like an old man and sad to say i agree on everything but. that's interesting so do you think the data left back the way people vote that's affecting the way i vote illuminati is going to have whatever they will. so do you think they're going to choose them. upright given that not a chance why now that he's just too much on the french for the rest of america but he has such a strong contingent among the year for now well i'll tell you that any changes he'll bring forward will be on obama's good work that's what i'll tell you that

he's laying down a foundation for the next president whoever he is exactly that's my belief you know and i and i mean the strain here i think he's got his chance i mean i think. those effects of the public the novelty of his candidacy were off within about twelve months of his arrival and ron paul certainly would be a novelty in office he's been o.t. with. politics is based at the moment i think it's interesting he's a nonpolitician speaks very honestly but i don't agree with his policies and so if i were living here i wouldn't vote for him no he gets more independents than both then all three candidates of the candidates so why does the media not pay attention to him well basically because he's against the establishment he's against everything isn't a stance for you against the military national complex to against the federal reserve do you think he has a chance here oh he is there are ten zero why. he doesn't have the finances of he

doesn't have the team necessary to put together a serious campaign. so you're just talking about how he's running not actually his policies or whether or not he'd be good for the country well if he could doesn't have the team in the money to get his message out nobody's going to hear whether or not you think ron paul actually has a chance to become the next u.s. president the bottom line is if elected he certainly would shake things up and that seems to be something everyone is looking for. the extreme sport that seems to defy gravity and some of the rules of physics appeals to many to i get adrenaline junkies and now a four legged one as well a dog in western ukraine has become an internet sensation over its passion for an active lifestyle. has a story. the two thousand and one french movie the game of car she launched a new world wide grace the park or thousands of print using asked worldwide took to
