I'll tell you EXACTLy why he isn't president.

Because FOX news trashed him at every possible chance. Repubs loved him. Young kids loved him. Anti-war ppl who ended up choosing obama loved him.

RP would have crushed Obama in an election. Without a doubt. he would have gotten every republican vote and the youth vote too.

Fox, hannity and crew bashed the shit out of him nonstop in the election coverage, remember?

You act as though I like Hannity or Beck.I dont like either of them.I only point out FOXs ratings and I despise Olberman and dyke maddow.

The problem with Ron Paul is this.People arent ready to hear it.Most faint when he says he would get rid of the department of education,the IRS,and about 20 other departnements.

Now,I must say,for a guy who says that FOX has huge ratings and zero influence,it seems odd you could blame them for Ron Paul not getting the nomination.

Fox has a lot of influence - among hard right repubs.

about 21% of the population, by last count

I disagre "they weren't ready to hear it" because he kept winning the call-in polls on Fox itself. His crowds were the biggest. his anti-war view was in line with the majority of americans. A ten-term congressman, MD, military decorated, and he knew more about the economy than the rest of those skanks onstage telling us the economy was in great shape, back in feb and april.

FOX did it. plain and simple. Hell, they kept him out of a debate and let Thompson (with far smaller numbers) participate.

And RP had more $ than most of the other clods, didn't he? He cleaned up in donations, and money talks in presidential politics.

Fuccktwat hannity couldn't say "ron paul" without smirking. As a result, he's relegated to bitching about the dem winner each day, instead of a repub that would have truly inspired america, and the world.

Man is a machine. Fact is, someone asked him about it (his age) and he just said he doesn't think about it.

He is openminded about 2012...a lot could happen till then...

I'd like to see if 333386 and shootfighter and others agree with this.

RP was what the youth wanted, and what the base repubs wanted.

FOX sunk him.

You just putting Olbermann out there as the only left leaning guy with a show or what? You know how many times Ron Paul was on left leaning shows? Way more than he was ever on all Fox shows combined and they loved him. Olbermann doesn't usually have guests. He usually has on the same clowns each show to bounce setup questions off.

If Ron had more financial backers, he would have gotten farther. He is still fighting hard to protect us from big government, hats off to the man of principle!
The powers that be in Washington (and in the media) wanted Obama to be president. That and an uprising of anti-Bush people. RP also needed to be a bit more charismatic to become president. I agree with the majority of his ideas...at least far more than Obama or McCain and thats why I voted for him and would happily do so again. We need more people like Ron Paul representing us....he's a no bullshit, will not be bought, will not play usual bullshit politics, and doesn't care much about his legacy kind of guy. He's probably too honest to be president and hasn't kissed the asses needed.

shootfighter1 · « **Reply #16 on:** May 01, 2009, 12:48:28 PM »

RP was well received on Bill Maher. Beck seemed to warm up to Ron after a couple interviews.

headhuntersix · « **Reply #17 on:** May 01, 2009, 12:48:38 PM »

HA..Hugo has a brain.....anyway I think the "head" had him on alot...Cavuto. RP had a few wacky views other then that he's a conservative republican. But those views would never have worked..pulling out of Iraq quickly etc. I liked most of what he said but he was un-electable, much like Newt.

Great post...I think some latched onto his anti-Iraq stance and a few other things and he became popular. Atleast in the youth vote area.

Yup, FOX pretty much shit on him every chance but so did CNN, etc... CNN totally ignored him as well as Huckabee toward the end of the debates. I think Ron got about 12 minutes to answer in a hour in a half debate.

There were a lot of reasons he didn't get further during the elections, people's ignorance was a contributing factor and Bush made the republican party into a joke so he was guilty by association even though Ron is nothing at all like the neocon's.

The guy who shit on him the most was Glenn Beck.Thats when he was on CNN affiliate.Hed have him on and argue with him and treat him like a kook.Incredibly,now he seems to agree with every position Paul has.
