Apples and oranges. You're comparing a primary result with a general election result, and assuming 100% went to the other leading brand.The GOP should be kicking themselves. They shouldn't have thrown the Ron Paul supporters under the bus.

I don't like to be hateful, but the GOP got what they deserved.
Also, I remember with bemusement the disconnect between RP supporters' view of their prevalence, and everyone else's. Predictions of massive support in the primaries, bolstered by rather generous descriptions of turnout and spirit at RP rallies, turned out a bit airy. cn

In Ron Pauls case. The GOP voters made the right choice

Yet, turn out numbers say the "GOP" was down, Libertarian numbers were up, and many stayed home. It's all guess work in hindsight, but the GOP did disenfranchise the libertarian wing of the party, at a time they could hardly afford to do so.
But your premise is valid. As usual, well thought out and concise.
Cheers!

The libertarian wing of the party has been in trouble since the Reagan years. The doctrinaire wing took over. In my estimation, the tend cannot be reversed. cn

Sadly, I think you are correct on that point as well. Which is why I am a Libertarian. I have not lost faith in liberty, but I have my doubts as to its eventual reality.

Paul is almost a big a loser as David Duke
at least Duke admits he is a racist though

Ah, I'm "delusional"?
LOL
How much air time was RP given compaired to the anointed Romney and other bought and sold political hacks?
Paranoid?
Your party declared war on me. What am I supposed to feel, happy and safe?
I think you're looking in a mirror...
But your attempt to insult me was noted...
Laughed at, but noted all the same.

Yes, resort to ugly name calling and word twisting. It will make you feel better about yourself.
Sad. I was starting to think there was more to you than that.
I never said there was a conspiracy...
Try the tin foil hat line with some one else. What I stated was the FACT that RP received very little media attention beside the amount others were given. Why not try reading the lines, instead of between them? It really does aid in comprehension.

Ron Pauls biggest weakness is
His supporters
Pay no attention to mr had to create three accounts to get one to stick. Duke is such a loser his opinions aren't even good enough to be included in the human population.Yes, resort to ugly name calling and word twisting. It will make you feel better about yourself.

Care to expound on your theory? I doubt there is much to it but I am willing to hear you out.
(That's the difference between us)
Or is it more name calling and word twisting?
