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 as good a chance and i think. those effects of the public the novelty of his candidacy world within about twelve months of his arrival and ron paul certainly would be a novelty in office keep in o.t. but that's what. politics is based on at the moment i think is interesting is a non-politician 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 is having a stand for you against the military national complex here against the federal reserve you think he has a chance here oh he is there are ten zero why he doesn't have the finances and 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 i'd be good for the country well if he doesn't have the team and the money to get his message out nobody's going to hear it 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. and you can read more about the u.s. elections of. why is there though here are some of the other items you can find on line our website for example of find out how the cia web site has become the latest victim in a series of hacker attacks from anonymous after suffering a crash on friday night. and get this how modano could help delay any military
