Why Ron Paul Won't Win

[(=DK=)Samonuh]

It's because crazy guys like this are his most passionate supporters. Disclaimer: There's A LOT of cursing and stupidity.

Given known data, isn't that Danny's (the guitar hero kid) father?

Secondly....he won't win because he's not mainstream. He shouldn't win because he sports out-dated ideas repudiated through America's gilded age and the roaring twenties.

This was the most painful thing I have ever watched. I watched the whole thing just to see if his head exploded.

There is one GLARING point he makes.

This is no longer a free country, hasn't been for some time. Thanks patriot act.

P.S. Ron Paul is a lying scumbag who is only out for himself just like ALL politicians. Republican, democrat, independent, it ers not. Once a politician sees dollar signs, they will murder their own mother to make a buck.

"Power corrupts absolute power corrupts absolutely." Welcome to 1984, two decades later.

Yep. I always knew Jack Johnson was crazy, but I never thought he'd bring it to this level. I remember once he told me there was alien technology hidden under the Sphinx's left arm.

No matter what the media wants you to believe, The republican nomination is already a two-man race.

FACT: Of the 2,286 total Republican delegates, 1,144 are needed to win nomination.

FACT: In five States: Virginia, Missouri, Ohio, Tennessee and Illinois, Gingrich and Santorum are not even on the ballot. That's 564 delegates that they cannot get.

FACT: After South Carolina, only 59 delegates have been allocated to the 4 candidates. Mitt Romney has 39 of those. This means Santorum or Gingrich has to pick up 1,144 delegates from the remaining 1,683.

Let's say that Ron Paul only picks up 20% of the total number of delegates. That's 457 delegates for Paul. Add that to the 564 that Newt and Santorum won't have a shot at and now there are 1,021 delegates that Santorum and Gingrich have no chance of getting. Subtract that 1,021 from the total 2,286 and you're left with 1,265 delegates. That means that Gingrich and Santorum, one or the other, have to pick up over 90% of the available delegates to get the nomination. So, essentially, we're down to Paul and Romney.


Edit: @Dad You should do some research on Paul, since you obviously have no idea what you're talking about. What exactly do you think he is lying about?

Dad...don't mind if I correct you please, but the saying is...."Absolute power corrupts absolutly". And that is quite possibly the most accurate phrase in the world. Everyone that is given power will most definetly abuse that power. Can't remember where this experiment was, but it was at an university where half the "subjects" where inmates while the other half were guards. Needless to go into detail...the guards "subjects" abused their "inmates" subjects. Classic experiment of human behaviour. And about the topic of Ron Paul...I don't know much about him but let me ask you guys this. Do you really "vote" for the candidate that you chose?..or are you voting for the candidate they chose for you? Really, think about that.

Of course the elections are being rigged. But why do you think the media is so scared of Paul? If he wins by a landslide they can't stop him, and he can win by a landslide if his message gets through to the people. Take the time to look him up.

Would you mind filling me in on what, exactly, will happen if he gets elected? I don't see anything on his campaign website that looks particularly out of the ordinary except for some ranting about the Fed (and I don't see Congress going along with him on that one no er what).

Five governments departments would be shut down (Commerce, Education, Energy, Interior and Housing and Urban Development). The Patriot Act, Freddie Mae and Franny Mac would be shut down. All our troops over seas would come back. Most of our 500 foreign bases would be closed. We would get out of the middle east completely. 1 trillion dollars would be cut out of our budget to start paying off the 16 trillion dollar debt we have accumulated. The Federal Reserve would be audited and we would know what we have spent our tax dollars on (finally). We would eventually readopt the gold standard and our money would start to actually be worth something again. We would go back to the constitution and he would return the powers that president Bush gave himself (and Obama never gave up). The country would no longer go to war without a declaration from congress. A border gate will be put up to stop illegal immigrants coming in from Mexico.

States will be able to decide for themselves if they want to legalize drugs without the government telling us what to do. Government will no longer be able to make small laws. We will be able to ride our cars with no seat belts and talk on the phone while driving. We will be able to buy raw milk from local farmers instead of only having big corporations sell us milk. Hospitals will have to start to competing with each other.

In other words we will be free without the government telling us what to do. The debt will start being paid off and we will see the price of living go way down. Sorry this was written off the top of my head at 3 am. :)
