Why Ron Paul

I dunno man, I find Ron Paul immensely preferable to any of the hacks running for the presidency at the moment.

Who is playing the victim anyway?

About 1 in 20 people agree with you.

Did you notice the cartoon in the post I quoted? That would be playing the victim.
 
Ron Paul's message has been pretty consistent over the years, so have the stories of bigotry and homophobia.

He has also been very consistent at finishing last in national elections.

That is the simplest measure, he can't appeal to more than a tiny portion of America.

I could make a case that his campaign is relevant, hell, anyone who is campaigning to become the President should be considered relevant, I find it quite telling that the media focused a lot of attention on Donald Trump when he was supposedly going to run for the nomination and the plausibility of Chris Christie or Sarah Palin making a possible run for the nomination over Ron Paul who is still (regardless of your assumptions on whether he is relevant or not), in the running.

That being said, I'm not a Paul supporter, I just believe he'll do far less damage to our country than our other options. And don't believe for a second "libertarians" are fringe-loonies, I believe that people have become more and more frustrated with our idiotic Democratic and Republican parties clasping to the reigns of our democracy espousing useless policies and further burdening this country in the name of political gains, and as a result many will begin to recognize that we, do, in fact, have other options.

The MSM delgate score card is hilarious.

Iowa for instance, has Romney with 12, and Santorum with 13. Ron Paul is estimated to get 0 of the 25 Iowa delegates in your link. That is what the media wants everyone to believe.

the fact is that those are unofficial estimates. The actual process is much more complicated, and heavily favors the type of people willing to stick around after the voting to actually become delegates. They also use this time to vote for the new chair of the Iowa GOP, which recently announced adding a co-chair to the Iowa GOP, who happened to be Iowa Campaign Manager of Ron Paul.

When it is all said and done, Ron Paul will finish either 1st or second in total delegates in the the state of Iowa and his total count will be a lot closer to 13 then 0.

Unelectable vs electable
Click to expand...

No:

Electable: greater than 500 electoral votes
Unelectable: less than 60 electoral votes

Just because the wingnut crazies show up to see him doesn't make him an electable candidate because he only appeals to the wingnut crazies. The mainstream voter thinks he's a loon.

That plus hes nuts an an attention ho...I mean the guy is making a fool out of himself again...he cant win he gets the same 8-10% and he hangs in to the end like a lamer...

Ron Paul is unelctable because the voting system is controlled by the Feds. They pick up their own puppet through rigged election and justify it by fake poll. (because they also control the media.) Only one thing they couldn't control - they couldn't rigged the attendence of the campaign meeting. That's how you see in these pictures. Of course, media never report it. You only see it in Internet.

Where is media? Because they couldn't explain this while saying Paul only got 8-10% votes. It's easy to rig the poll, it's hard to rig the attendence.

Your misinformed. He has refocused on the delegate selection process only...the area where he is actually winning. Ron Paul will still have ads in Texas and California, but that is it. He is counting on his supporters to do what they have been doing...showing up in large numbers at local, district, and state conventions.

He knows the true face of US election and in that he could never win in such a corrupt system.

Nah, he could never admit that his platform just doesn't appeal to a big enough audience to actually get him elected, he has to play the corruption and conspiracy theorist card.

Just more evidence that he's a nut.
 
I'm not foolish. I know he's not going to win. I also readily acknowledge that his ideology is just that - ideology; yet, I have the perception that he's well aware that he can't just pull the rug on most funding over night. Key in the formation of this perception was an interview in which a "reporter" tried to corner him with a question on cutting spending from Head Start programs. He confirmed that he felt it was unconstitutional, but that until private funding could be established, this sort of program would be left intact. In essence, while he preaches a truly free market, he understands that in practice a gradual reversion to that economy would be necessary.

In short, I don't support as free of a market as Dr. Paul advocates but I believe that extreme polarization in that direction from our leadership is required to get us back to a level place. On top of that, he is the one candidate that I feel like I can trust. He might just be a better actor than most, but I truly don't believe he'll be vulnerable to the all too rampant corruption.

You be sure to let us know when he gets as many votes as they do. It's easy to claim that he's popular, but when he gets less than 1% of the vote, how do you explain that?

Oh yeah, it's a conspiracy!

I think it has to do with partisan politics a bit. Ron is not a "Republican", and that doesn't sit well with Republicans. Also, Ron does say some crazy **** some times.

It doesn't matter what party he runs under, he still doesn't get many votes. His platform, like it or not, just doesn't appeal to many voters. Yes, he's a loon too, but mostly, the majority of Americans don't like what comes out of his mouth.

this has been true of every elected president in my lifetime. the majority of Americans did not vote for them, or even particularly like them.

The reality is that Congressman Paul does not even receive a number of votes sufficient to seriously contend for the Presidential nomination.

you keep telling yourself that.

The reality is his influence has grown and continues to grow.

He can't even get 5% of the voting public, he has no shot in hell at the White House. Ron Paul is a laughing stock.

in a general election, he would get close to 50% of the voting public. In the republican primary, he was getting about 10% averaging all the elections.

only idiots are laughing, but that is what they do when they don't understand things.
