Yes, we are all being told by Paul supporters left right and center that Paul has all these supporters, and Romney doesn't, yet we consistently see Paul perform poorly against Romney the vast majority of primaries and in State polls (excluding straw polls!). To make it worse, Paul is polling badly in his home State of Texas:

elections.huffingtonpost.com...

It appears that Romney leads Paul by double digits! Texas is Paul's home state, he has had plenty of time to make a name for himself in Texas, he served here for more than 20 years, so, given this fact, and all this enthusiastic (but small) support, why is it that he can't even compete strongly in his own State? Because simply put, Paul's policies scare the hell out of even local voters in his home state, they prefer to have him as a representative but nothing more. And don't tell me this is all some conspiracy to silence his native Texas voters, Paul is no stranger to performing badly in his own home State when it comes to the presidential elections.

In 1988 during Paul's first attempt at running for the presidency, he didn't win one single district in his own State! Not even his own district! That went to George H Bush!

What about 2008? McCain ran over Paul in his very own district in 2008! Paul won one county, one county and it wasn't even his own!

So tell me again why we need to take Ron Paul as a serious contender anymore? It seems Romney has far more solid support over Paul. It's also clear that Paul's positions and policies aren't even supported all that much in his own state, not even in his district. This is the kind of reality Paul supporters cannot seem to understand, or don't want to.

When you have Bush, and Perry representing the same state trying their hardest to make it seem like RP won't win...Those are the results you get...I can only come to the conclusion that Bush, and Perry are working diligently for Romney, but I think they are just wasting their time...

But Konquest seriously, even in Ron Paul's own district he can't even win the majority of voters in presidential elections. How long has Paul being serving Texas for? Over 20 years now right? There is little room for excuse. Romney is well ahead, even in Paul's home state. This is a bad reality to Paul's prospects for the nomination.

I'm not from Texas, but I guarantee they ignore Ron Paul their as much as they do on national television...I bet RP is still considered an underground representative in that state...It just doesn't make sense, the Bush's have so much political pull in Texas you can't be sure what is going on...

I like Ron Paul.


It shouldn't be about liking Ron Paul though, it should be about liking our liberty and our constitutional rights. (a man named Ron Paul just happens to stand up for these things)

Unfortunately Americans look at politics like a popularity contest (who has nicest smile, who speaks the most eloquently, who has the best-fitting suit, etc).


Gonna repost something I typed in another thread:

"However RP isn't about winning the Presidency to me.

It's about showing the slave masters that they better pull the trigger on this mass genocide stuff asap because we are going to strip them of power soon or they will eventually lose it through their own arrogance and poor chess moves or a combination of those.

It's a wake up call for everyone to get their heads straight and stop thinking like the ludicrous fantasy based commercials on TV want you to. Look at each commercial closer with a critical eye, you will see it's not about selling products, it's about brainwashing people into false normality and complacency and to focus primarily on consumerism and socialization, while promoting the notion to ignore politics, economics, foreign affairs, history, etc.

The presidency doesn't really even matter in the general scope of human existence, it's a minor detail.
What matters is that human beings need to decide if they want to live as slaves to the government and corporations or if they want to be free without being harassed or economically leeched by entities that don't protect their interests.

This is about how governments in all nations throughout history have a systematic pattern of wrongfully harming the liberties of people for countless reasons. Oppression by "authority", homegrown or foreign, the beatings still feel the same.

People are tired of being oppressed. They want to live life, it's the only one we got. It's short and brutal.
Why do the authoritarians always seek to make it worse for everyone when it's so pointless and unnecessary? "
