If you can't admit he's the only honest guy running, you're only kidding yourself.

I know he doesn't have a chance. I'm not even going to vote in 2012 because it's been made clear that voting is a waste of time.

One could only dream of having somebody in office who wants to hold people accountable for raping and pillaging our great nation.

If you don't vote for the elections being corrupted, you can push for reforms of the election laws - especially a constitutional amendment against corporate 'personhood'.

I think some of this means that he's putting so much effort in his Presidential run that he may run as an independent since he won't get the GOP nomination. Yes, I know that he's said he won't run as an independent, but he could kill the Party of Lincoln if he runs as an independent and starts his own party. The Republican Party was red from the start, after all. The Republicans deserve to lose because of how they've treated him.

He should run as an independent because he would hand the election to Obama and that would hopefully kill the Republican Party.

I'm voting for him because he's the closest thing to independent with the best chance of winning. Why anyone would vote R or D is beyond me, both parties are garbage yet you guys continue to argue over which poison is better.

Edit:

Also he will end the war on drugs. I don't believe its right that a 18 year old HS student gets caught with some weed and then:

Practically barred from any middle class job
No longer able to serve his country in the military
Becomes ineligible for financial aid for college

For this reason among many many more, I believe the war on drugs needs to stop.

He still doesn't have much of a chance at winning, but it's also his last chance. Nobody is going to elect an 80 year old into office in 2016.

He won't get elected but I think he's the only one I'd vote for. Hell, I'd vote for a yellow dog if it weren't a Dem or Rep.
