Wow, you really are idealistic.  What did he do the last time he ran for President(as an Independent)?  He can't even get as high as 4th as a GOPer.  They hate Paul in the GOP.  He WILL be the Independent candidate.  It is the only chance he has.  Why vote for those other goose-steppers in the GOP?  Vote to control 2 parties! Obama(D), Paul(I) & GOP(R)!  Then it is anybody's  race.  Please no Rudy, Mitt or Hillary!!!
