Why didn't people vote for Ron Paul?

Because that retarded smurf believes (and wrote) things like:

There is a "coming race war in our big cities" and of a "federal-homosexual cover-up" to play down the impact of AIDS.

The U.S. government's redesign of currency (started in 1993) to include different colors - a move aimed at thwarting counterfeiters - actually was part of a plot to allow the government to track Americans using the "new money."

Martin Luther King Jr Day is a "Hate Whitey Day."

"Today, gangs of young blacks bust into a bank lobby firing rounds at the ceiling.” also that “We don’t think a child of 13 should be held as responsible as a man of 23. That’s true for most people, but black males age 13 who have been raised on the streets and who have joined criminal gangs are as big, strong, tough, scary and culpable as any adult, and should be treated as such.”

He defended Marge Schott the former Cincinnati Reds owner, who was “being crucified” after she referred to her own players as “million dollar ni***rs,” said that “sneaky goddamn Jews are all alike” and “only fruits wear earrings,” and claimed that Hitler was an initially positive force for Germany.

Ron Paul advocated a separate state for whites in South Africa, writing, “If everyone accepts the notion that a homeland can be created for the Palestinians, I wonder why no consideration is given by world opinion leaders to a similar situation for the whites in South Africa, as they have requested.”

On the Oklahoma City bombing: “Were there, as some people now say, two bombs that went off in the building? And might the government have the wrong man? Who doubts the possibility that the government – which lied about Waco and Ruby Ridge – may also be covering up true information and planting false information about the Oklahoma bombing?” The newsletter then cited “a courageous cover story” from The New American, the official magazine of the John Birch Society, as evidence.

Citing a tape recording of a 911 call made by Branch Davidian leader David Koresh. “Far from revealing a crazy madman, the tapes show him to be a reasonable person, despite his alleged religious views, with a traditional American request: to be left alone.” he also asserted that “What happened at Waco was a human rights violation as serious as any that occurred in the waning days of the Soviet Union.” It further referred to “the martyrs at Waco” and said, “Lesser crimes in the past have led to the overthrow of whole governments.” In later newsletter issues, Waco was referred to as a “holocaust.”

Warned about a provision of the 1994 Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act, which encouraged the recruitment of police officers from Hong Kong, saying that it “reminds me of King George’s Hessian mercenaries used against our Founding Fathers.”

That AIDS sufferers "enjoy the attention and pity that comes with being sick."

A "plot for world government, world money and world central banking."

The plan by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to "suspend the Constitution" in a falsely declared national emergency.

Alleged that a female terrorist who bombed a disco in Berlin frequented by American servicemen (an operation backed by the Libyan government) “was in cahoots with Syria, or Israel’s Mossad, which always seeks to stir up anti-Arab feeling here.”

Revived conspiracy theories about the U.S.S. Liberty, namely that Israel deliberately attacked an American warship in the Mediterranean (investigations by both the U.S. and Israeli governments concluded that the attack was a mistake).

Referred to the Americans With Disabilities Act as a “totalitarian law” because “dentists can no longer refuse to work on the bloody mouths of AIDS carriers.” The piece referred to then-Assistant Attorney General and future Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick (inaccurately called “Patrick Deval”) as “evil.”

Another newsletter headline said: “AIDS – the Government Lies Again.” It attributes to a mysterious “Dr. Arnold” the claim that “AIDS can be transmitted through means other than sexual intercourse and blood transfusion, specifically saliva, tears, sweat, feces and urine.” The newsletter also advocated that “federal laws which force schools to accept students known to carry a fatal, communicable disease, and businesses to employ adult victims as ‘handicapped’” should be repealed.

Claimed AIDS was being transmitted via the U.S Postal Service. The allegations were sourced to Robert Mendelsohn, a self-proclaimed “medical heretic,

Obama is pro-business, North Korea and Iran are harmless, and Israel is the new Nazi Empire. 9/11 was an inside job committed by Bush and Cheney. Hitler was misunderstood, Truman was a war criminal, and Lincoln is the anti-Christ. Plus, the Joos run everything. You should read this book called The Protocols. Have you ever heard of John Birch?

Most people vote once, in November. The caucuses and primaries are when people's votes really count. Caucus votes are all within a single party. So usually candidates that are closer to a party's core - not the party's platform, but the ideas core voters currently have - win.

Paul would have appealed to swing voters like us that are looking for the best man for the job. The problem is that the best man for the job isn't the best man for the party, and you've got to be the best man for the party to get the party's support. And given that the country is split nearly into thirds Democratic, Republican, and Independent, and the independent voters usually vote Republican or Democrat come election time, you need a party's support to win.

If you don't like the way that works, with a secret vote before the show vote and a President being picked based on how they represent a minority's views, you're in good company. I'm voting for Gary Johnson. He's not going to win, but he doesn't need to. He's set up to, I kid you not, potentially win electoral votes in New Mexico and Nevada. If he won 15% of the vote (and that's not as impossible as it sounds; Ross Perot won 19% of the popular vote once) his party would become a major political party and the whole game would change. But even without that, if he makes a strong showing, it will be enough to reform election laws.

The President is always picked by a tiny handful of people in a tiny handful of states. So if that tiny handful is set on spoiling the vote, it can succeed.

I will probably be considering that he need's to give up sending 18-20 year olds over to die within the core east. He want's to support curb the expansion of presidency and reign in debt. Ron Paul has been an suggest for ending the Federal Reserve, which after pushing for Audit (headed with the aid of him)... It was once decided that they had been lending money to banks and businesses and different what authority do they function below? In general in view that I consider he will bring steadiness... To not left to not right... He's looking out for me and now not lobbies, government bureaucry or establishments.

Because of "psyops" a military technique called "perception control" is used against people whenever needed...

You must understand that the mainstream media is privately owned...and their interests are DIFFERENT than what is in the best interest of the American people as a whole...

We the people would have greatly benefitted from Ron Paul being President...we would have been richer, more free, safer, and our country would have made great forward progress...

But the problem is ---is that the powers that be don't want Americans to prosper...rather they want to OPPRESS the people...Ron Paul's bill is to audit the Fed...do you even know who comprises the FED? of course not...that information is secret and not given out to anyone...and yet that is the who is in control of printing and regulating our money...with no oversight...it is unbelievable...

The people if they were properly informed would no doubt have voted for Ron Paul ....so the mainstream media had to ignore him and not give him as much air time as others and also constantly villify him and also discredit any who stood with him and then also fail to report on the huge grassroots support and record breaking crowds that came out to see him...

so anyway that is what they did...blame the mainstream media owners I would say...

Look how these idiots slander such a conservative republican , retired military doctor, that has served America in congress as a voice for the rights of all Americans and has been re-elected time after time without pork barrel politics

A loyal family man that raised a son that is also a respected congressman,,

I'm sure these same people would have slandered Thomas Jefferson if the media told them to

I believe it boils down to 3 things;

1. the Media refused to report on him fairly

2. no matter what people say, they don't want that kind of Freedom. They love the welfare system, both rich and poor.

3. Americans have been programmed to believe that the US has to police the World and that anything other than complete domination of it is UNpatriotic.

I'm more disappointed in the American people than anything. Not surprised, just disappointed.

No. You don't understand. He is not more qualified. He is not more educated and he seems to have a total lack of understanding of the real world. His policies reflect mainstream thinking -- in the 1800's and I don't think anyone who thinks the Civil Rights Act was a mistake can honestly say he "cares about the people." I didn't vote for him because he was in the Republican primary. Republicans didn't vote for him because he is a nut case.

The people who didn't vote for Ron Paul are the same people who worship that lunatic Rush Limbaugh. Their conservative gods on the TV convinced their feeble little minds that Paul was the lunatic instead.

If only his ideas were not so bad. We all knew that since his real commitment was to his ideas about government, and that they wouldn't work, he would be unable to develop policy once those crappy ideas failed.

It's like you plan for years to walk to the moon, and then, the day you are to set off, you find out you can't. You are in no position to take over a space program.

Other candidates, however, had ideas that at least sounded as if they might work (their ideas were crap, though) and people thought maybe those traditional candidates would simply not muck up things as bad as RP would.

The general population usually shies away from fringe candidates. We like someone who can see more than a fixed ideology. Ron Paul has shown himself to be too radical for the voters.

His lunatic followers.

Every conspiracy nut was rabidly supporting him and most of these people thought their insanity was helping.

Oh and he's also a bit crazy himself, as well as being older than any president, when leaving office. Reagan has been clinically proven to have had Alzheimers while in office and Paul is older than that already.
