6. Good. That should cause a lot of consternation among the pubbies.
Maybe they don't cover him much because he's a long shot.
Seems like no matter what Kucinich says, he never gets much coverage.

5. Yes... as others have said, Paul may sound great on war &
against many social conservative issues, yet he is very far from progressive. I fear that some will be taken in by his honest views on the war and his willingness to call out Repugs on their hypocrisy and miss the bigger picture.

This could be a problem, if he runs as an independent....

7. I think it'll be a bigger problem for the Repubs than us.
I don't think many Dems will vote for him.

14. Israel
When being questioned about war against Iran, after he said all the usual, he finished with saying (paraphrasing): "And, Israel is in no danger from Iran. Israel has 200 or 300 nuclear weapons". There was an audible gasp in the audience.

17. Well, that explains it..
Israel is the 51st state and no one may speak ill of them.

After saying that Paul is going to be completely blacked out by the MSM.

And if Hillary is the nominee I'm going to have to think very hard about who I'm going to vote for.

15. Really unprofessional and disrespectful--the man IS currently a Congressman, even
if they disagree with his views. After watching these debates and seeing how badly they treat Paul (and I'm no fan of Paul), I can understand why Chuck Hagel didn't want to subject himself to that bullshit.
