"They're like a cult. They cry that if their beloved prophet isn't nominated or elected to the executive branch America is "doomed", as if he can affect any real change in monetary and social policy anyways. People need to realize, the Ron Paul campaign should only be considered PR for austro-libertarianism and it's outcome in the electoral sphere is totally meaningless."
All that you sau about Paulites is pretty much true of the following of any other politicain
Freedom4Me73986:Dr. Paul spent a HUGE amount of money on campaign ads. He has a huge following esp among college students. A lot of leftists are moving away from the democrats to Dr. Pau.

OK now compare how much Santorum spent on ads with how much Dr. Paul did.

Done. Now you compare how much Rick Perry spent with how much Michelle Bachmann spent. The gap between Paul and Santorum is only 2,731 votes less than the gap between those two...but I'll let you go ahead and calculate the difference in the amount spent between those bottom two candidates.
Or let's put it this way. Perry spent well more than twice what Paul spent...and got less than half the votes. I'll say that again. Your argument is "Paul spent a HUGE amount of money on campaign ads" so there's "no reason" he should have lost. Rick Perry spent more than TWICE as much as what Ron Paul spent....and got less than HALF the votes. Sounds like a fix to me. Someone screwed over Rick Perry.
John James:So that's it huh. A tie for first IA and a win in NH is all it takes for the nomination to be completely decided huh?
No, John honey, after winning IA and NH I think Romney's campaign is about over. I mean, when has anyone ever taken those two states and gone on to get a nomination?
Every decent man is ashamed of the government he lives under - Mencken
gocrew:No, John honey, after winning IA and NH I think Romney's campaign is about over. I mean, when has anyone ever taken those two states and gone on to get a nomination?
A non-incumbent? Never.
It shows that Perry's ads were wholly ineffective.
To be fair, Paul doesn't really get anything but bad press, so it is natural for him to need to spend more on ads.
Santorum really lucked out. People are very very dumb.
You kiddin? 50% of his voters cared most about abortion.
Freedom4Me73986:All while eating foods full of poison, drinking water full of fluoride, drinking pasteurized milk full of cancer-causing agents, being vaccinated full of autism-causing mercury, paying taxes to the state and being forced into a collective every day. Yup sounds good to me. Yep. And enjoying a leisure-filled, convenience-filled, fun-filled life...till I'm 90. Yeah I prefer that to getting a finger cut while trying to chop a branch for firewood and dying of infection at age 21 because Bear Grylls never did an episode on how to manufacture your own antibiotics.

Most antibiotics are useless anyway. Natural medicine is the only medicine which does anything. How would you know anything about survivalism?

Dr. Paul spends lots on campaign ads but gets hardly any press. Santorum was spending all of his time in Iowa. Hopefully Dr. Paul will win in NH with all of the time he's spending there.
You are so adorable. I'm impressed that it just comes so naturally to you.

I'm too lazy to become an expert at this stuff too. I would prefer to have someone else handle my healthcare and research what is healthy and what isn't.
