Who does presidential candidate Ron Paul take votes away from?

Question

Personally I think he is negatively affecting Barack Obama more than anyone.

I am making my opinion on the fact that many people vote for the lesser of evils rather than pursuing there unattainable ideology.

A great deal of left wing conspiracy theory nuts are supporting him. A great deal of them support Brock Obama 2nd.

Answer 1

Nobody. People support him because they think he's the best candidate for president.

Answer 2

Personally, I wouldn't be voting for Obama under any circumstances, but I agree that he's hurting Obama most. Obama tends to be really popular among young voters, even though he should not be (he's actually with Hillary Clinton on every issue).

If Ron Paul loses the nomination, I'm going to vote for the candidate of the Libertarian Party. However, it is unfortunate that George Phillies is actually less Libertarian than Ron Paul is. That party has been increasingly falling into the hands of gradualist pragmatists who are putting the whole goal of turning America into a free country at risk. Pragmatist opponents of slavery prolonged it. Because the radicals kept demanding that slavery end now, it eventually did end (peacefully, except in America where Dishonest Abe decided to raid the South and ended it only out of spite; real abolitionists such as Lysander Spooner and Clement Vallandigham were anti-war).

It is important that Ron Paul win the election or at the very least that the main$tream media and the other elites lose the election. We aren't going to be a free country if we vote for any of the big money boys.

Answer 3

Ron Paul said this today:

"Thanks to our media and many government officials, Americans have become conditioned to view the state as our protector and the solution to every problem. Whenever something terrible happens, especially when it becomes a national news story, people reflexively demand that government do something. This impulse almost always leads to bad laws and the loss of liberty. It is completely at odds with the best American traditions of self-reliance and rugged individualism. "

No one that agrees with that would ever vote for Barack Obama, or any other Democrat since JFK, without the influence of psychotropics.

Answer 4

He can't "take votes away" from anyone. If he's receiving the votes, then they never belonged to anyone else.

And he's a primary candidate. Many states have closed primaries. Obama is a Democrat; Paul is a Republican. So how would Paul "steal" from Obama in those states? At the moment Paul is only a minor threat to his fellow Republican candidates. I really like Paul.

Answer 5

Ross Perot
