Ron Paul Rally in Tampa

[RTHolmes]

his logic may well be sound, but since he apparently uses the wrong words sometimes its hard to tell.

If he was the most popular, why did he get his butt whooped?

My only problem with him was the fact that he was/is out of touch.

His answer to everything is "bring the troops home".

Where did you get that info?  He got the plaurality of 7 states and was a finalist of candidates.  .5% seems very low to me.  

google it that's how I found it.  and .5% was a high, most websites quoted .3%.   you are more than welcome to post your own results if it contradicts mine.

edit: oh crap i was wrong the above information is wrong.  it looks like he got .5% of the vote for the republican nomination.  he got something like 50,000 votes in the 2008 presidential election.   sorry my bad

  He is not worse than the current President IMO But could never win. With the current primary rules in some states it's winner takes all the delagates so you don't know how really close the other canidates are.

they still record the popular vote.  so yes you do know who each candidate does in the primaries.  heck they even know that mickey mouse gets about 20 votes each election .

Hardly a selling point now is it?

He's (RP) been in a position of power for 30 + years.  I see him as part of the problem, not part of the solution.
