    That's exactly what I'm saying.

      I know

      ..but also looking at this, why wouldn't the party and the media get behind Paul, instead of acting like he doesn't exist?

        He'd lose against Obama. Obama would target his foreign policy absurdness and it would be a disaster.

            Right, because so many people are thrilled right now with the direction things are going overseas. At this point who either hasn't served, doesn't know someone deployed, or doesn't know someone who has been killed/injured from the middle east right now? Not many I would guess.

              The reason your candidate was absolutely annihilated was that foreign policy. You have to clear your head out and realize this. He gets 3% of his targeted voters and you're attempting to make a case for him? Seriously.

                Seriously.


                It doesn't get brought up enough IMO by the campaign, but how could someone explain the financial support by our own military? Let me guess. The military are all just a bunch of HS dropouts who want to smoke marijuana and don't really understand what goes on around the world like people from Fox news such as Hannity or Levin. More people than ever right now are staring to realize that we are sticking our hands out there to get cut off trying to police the planet.

                  I tell you he gets 3% of his targeted vote, and you throw up a percentage of enlisted, which makes up less than 3% of the population - and he only gets half of that.. This is what I'm talking about. He got 3% of his own targeted voters. The implication of him having any chance is absolutely laughable. You must see the how weak your argument is if you have to focus on just about his only positive which is entirely insigificant. The time for Paul nut hugging has ended, he's retiring, 3rd failed bid, he's gone. The third party talk is a waste of time, it would be a fucking disaster for this country.

                    you are missing what he is saying.. he is saying that that statistic should way more heavily in the minds of voters.. if his foreign policy is so laughable then why does the military community support it?

                      Because they'd rather be patrolling the south Texas border than Kandahar?

                          I've said it before and I'll say it again and not because I disagree with the policy.

                          I'll take four years of Ron Paul's foreign policy vs. four years of the remaining candidate's domestic policy. Our own government is on the path to do us in before the Canadian's come storming through our northern border with bayonets.

                            So the argument is "ignore reality, focus on this irrelevant statistic?"

                            What does it matter what his policy is if he gets 3% of his targeted vote?
