Correct. He knows he'll never be president. It's the same reason Dennis Kucinich runs. He does it to get his issues discussed nationally.

If either of you care to spend a couple minutes actually listening to the man, he answers your questions/accusations @ 2:20 in this interview.

I real movement would overcome this....I guess his movement is not strong enough, so I guess you guys just have to get used to the idea that you will never see him in the general election...let alone as the POTUS....enjoy his message because thats about all you will get...I stopped listening when he started talking about delivering babies..I think that was long enough

Why do Ron Paul supporters think a simple statement from him, in this case "I'm in it to win it", explains away all the evidence and facts? Ron Paul is not a deity. The words coming out of his mouth are not the direct words of an omnipotent being. Sorry I had to be the one to inform you of that, but you needed to know.
He can't win. He lacks the funding and large organization of a real contender, just like he did in all his previous runs. He's a professional politician. He knows what it takes to seriously contend and he knows he's not doing that and therefor knows he's not going to win. He has to say things like "I'm in it to win it", because if he said "I'm just in this race to get national attention to my agenda" no one would volunteer for him, donate, or vote for him.
You heard it here first folks, Ron Paul in fact makes statements that he knows are not true because it's necessary for him in order to get his issues discussed on a national level. All politicians who are running for this purpose do the same thing. Kucinich does the same thing, so does Al Sharpton. They all tell their supporters they are trying to win. They have to. But I don't think anyone outside their die hard supporters is under the illusion that we are going to have president Sharpton, Kucinich, or Paul.
It's fucking amazing how willing Ron Paul supporters are to ignore reality and dismiss any and all facts or evidence if they contract any statement made by Ron Paul. If you're wondering why people mistake you guys for a cult, that is why.

Tin foil hats? I don't see what Ron Paul has to do with telekinesis or telepathy...
This is a clear illustration of how you rationalize things, which should discredit anything you have to type, clearly you are moronic.

As i figured. But you know i'm right here. How do you judge someone's intentions other than based on his record?

So you're argument is i shouldn't agree with his takes on the issues and support him. But rather vote for any one of the other Status Quo? Get lost. That's damn near treasonous.

You don't even listen to what he has to say. You are by your own admission ignorant. As many have proven themselves to be in this thread.

I am pretty sure we know all the posters on here who are truly moronic.

No. My argument is you shouldn't ignore facts and evidence based on his words alone. He's not a serious contender. He never has been and never will be. He doesn't have serious campaign financing or national campaign infrastructure so he's not going to win. He knows that, everyone knows that. The only people who don't believe that are his cult like supporters who believe every statement he makes without question like yourself.
I'm saying you shouldn't believe every statement that comes out of any politicians mouth. They HAVE to say certain things that are not true in order to run their campaigns. That includes all politicians, without exception.
Oh that's nice. Suggesting Ron Paul might be telling a necessary lie is pretty much treason now eh? Good thing you guys don't act like cult worshipers.

The very fact that he has gotten this far and DOESN'T have all the special interest money behind him is alluring to many. Rather.....refreshing.

Sure, to many. But not a majority. That requires $$$.
Also, let's not pretend he's above taking special interest money. He does do that. He takes money from the national association of realtors, the national association of credit unions, and multinational oil companies. The only reason he doesn't take more is because more is not being offered to him. When offered, he does accept it though. The reason more is not offered to him is because lobbyists can tell the difference between a serious candidate and Ron Paul.
