Quote by: Clarence  ...just kidding. You didn't think he'd win the primaries did you? For one, most voters don't make it out to vote at the primaries. For two, no independents voted in them. Ron Paul did not SPEND money to compete in the primaries, he MADE it. After the primaries where the most Republican candidate, by definition, will be an Independent with a decent following and a bankroll. |
Huh? Over 40% of New Hampshire voters are registered independents and they can vote in either the Democratic or Republican primaries. Ron Paul spent multiple thousands of dollars in New Hampshire trying to convince those same independent voters to back his candidacy. The final figure is probably in the millions because of the prime time Boston media time he purchased this week. You don't know what you are talking about Clarence. Pay attention to reality for a change.

I don't "hate" Ron Paul. He performed well during debates and I respect his position on the war. But he and his supporters can't escape the negatives--his past positions on race, his own support of budget earmarks, and his looney tune positions on everything from the Federal Reserve to the North American conspiracy.
Nor can they escape political reality when it hits them square in the face--voters aren't buying his message. The polls reflected that all year, now the election returns confirm the polls.
Calling me or Sonart or Chaossaber or GHook ignorant or racist or whatever won't make Ron Paul any more appealing. It just makes you pathetic.
