Why won't anyone vote for ron paul?

He fineses last in pretty much all of the primaries today. He's the only one who makes sense to me.

    Because American citizens do not think about freedom the way the founders thought.

    Many have immigrated here from a socialist system and came here because they saw what they thought was a well functioning socialist system. Welfare and food stamps. Etc.

    Many support the status quo simply for monetary reasons. People love greed and that WILL NEVER CHANGE under mans rule. They don't care about debt because if they did they would be broke.

    Many Americans never worked hard in their lives with the service sector being 90% of the US Economy.

    I like Ron Pauls policies. If the military draft were instituted i think you would see more votes for Ron Paul because these... fellow American citizens who are afraid of Iran would think a bit clearer when their kin would have to be sent to every friggen squabble in the mid east. i am not afraid to fight or have my kin go into combat, ... I have skin in this f ing game now and did in vietnam too, lost some school chums and my brother served, two uncles, my sister...my grandfather my father... but i have learned a lot of this war crap is for money for business for position and so far as I am concerned I have zero respect for this mind set. Ron Paul is right in my opinion, he is constitutional and his record proves it. Some say well all the years he has served he did nothing... that is ignorant. He voted against things basically standing alone in his defense of the constitutional guidelines of our foundation so... he did accomplish what he could... the other a hole are the do nothings... oh well some folks can get hit in the face and still deny the facts.

    Because Ron Paul is a Mr Nice Guy and Nice Guys don't Win Elections or Wars. Just ask My Scottsdale neighbor Alice Cooper

    doesn't make any sense to me either. He'd actually make a better president than all the other candidates combined. I guess people prefer theocracy over democracy(except having a "golden rule" for foreign policy.)

    He is an interesting person, that's for sure. But I will not vote for him because he thinks Iran having nukes is not a problem. I think that is a huge problem. I also want the number one person most likely able to beat Obama. Paul is not that person.
