Ron Paul is a ****'n lunatic who belongs in a nursing home for dementia patients. He couldn't even get support from the right, how the **** was he going to garner support from independents or liberals?!?!
First off, every person that ever supported Ron Paul, and followed his candidacy knows that the corporate media is in the pockets of big business. They also know that the two major political parties are also in the pockets of the self same interests. This is the main reason why nothing gets done in D.C. Nothing is
supposed to get done.
So then, this is what irritates the people, the fact that the Republic is broken. The legitimate commander in chief, the real coalition builder who should be in office if it weren't for big business and unlimited corporate money, would be Dr. Paul. There is corruption in the process, and it now shows.
What is good for the people is bad for the business elites. What is good for the business elites would end up costing any representative or congressperson their job.
During his last run for presidency there was major corruption within the Republican Party and within the media. The legitimate candidate of the Republican party should have been Ron Paul. The corporatocracy sabotaged his run. Legitimately, there is every evidence that he WON the the first couple of primaries and caucuses, in all but South Carolina. Some very dirty and nasty tricks were played though, both on the ground and in the media. If they hadn't been, with that momentum, he would have had the press coverage to easily sweep the nation and secure the nomination.
With the discontent in the progressive wing among the Democrats on issues of Civil Rights and Civil Liberties, along with Obama's abusive use war making powers, the extreme left would have certainly voted for Ron Paul. He already had the endorsement of the likes of Dennis Kucinich and Ralph Nader.
The person that needs to stop listening to, reading, and watching corporate driven media is YOU. If you think a man that refuses to partake in and accept corporate money like the major candidates is a lunatic, you don't know jack shit about politics in the beltway or indeed about how they work on the international stage. Congratulations. Lunatics like you will be the death of this once great Republic.
