Ron Paul has some truly great ideas for America,but why is that a reason he will not get party nomination?

Question

Ron Paul is for America,so why will he not get party nomination?

Answer 1

What Open Your Eyes said.

Answer 2

If he does not win the Republican nomination he can run as an indipendant or a 0.33-social gathering candidate. a 0.33-social gathering candidate is a candidate nominated via a miles less effective, non-mainstream social gathering, called 0.33 events. The Libertarian social gathering helps Paul and if he have been to run as a 0.33-social gathering candidate he might probable be a libritarian. although, he has pledged that he's a republican and could run as not something yet a republican. All this being stated, i don't care how he runs, i'm going to in no way vote for Ron Paul.

Answer 3

Because the "Republicrats" aren't interested in truly great ideas for America; they are interested only in maintaining the stranglehold they have on our electoral process by limiting voters' choice to those whom they decide will be the candidates in a monopolistic, corrupt two-party system.
Ron Paul should run as an independent an desert the Republican Party. So should Fred Thompson. So should Barack Obama. It's time voters had a better choice than the 'lesser of two evils'. That's why most people don't vote: they simply refuse to choose one 'evil' over another. -RKO- 09/06/07

Answer 4

Probably because Ron Paul supporters go on and on about how great he is but never really provided anything of substance.

OK, he's an isolationist. The last time we tried that, we ended up in two World Wars that killed millions.

The ideals sound great, but you guys need to come up with some follow through.

Answer 5

George Bush and Tony Blair, either apart or together, always took every opportunity to explain that they thought isolation is a bad idea and shouldn't be done.
No one ever noticed.
The media never asked the follow up question.
They all just went on to another subject.
Who's talking about isolation?
Why are they worried about it?

Ron Paul talks out-loud about it. Bring home all troops, seal the borders and protect this country. He's an isolationist.
I am an isolationist.
I agree with the approach.
I think that removing our boots from the ground of the Muslim Holy sites will work.

Ron Paul loses me because he is more of an angry lecturer than a candidate.
He never mentions the details.
To be fair, the media never asks him. It is his responsibility to give us the details anyway by taking his candidacy seriously and stop lurking around chat rooms.
I don't like to be barked at by an angry old man.

Answer 6

Because he refuses to pander to the Christian extreme right, the lobbyists, and the Military Industrial Complex.
In short, he can't be controlled by the special interests.

The powers that be right now see him as a major threat to their profit margin and power base. He REALLY should run as an Independent or Libertarian, because he would win in a landslide.

Moody: Exactly. Since war mongering, misogynistic feudalism is what your party stands for. Wouldn't you be more comfortable in Iran?

Answer 7

He will not get the party nomination because he is against true Republican values. He sounds more like an Independent or Libertarian to me. I would not vote for him.

Answer 8

Ron Paul is the best. But he won't get the nomination because your system is corrupt. He doesn't conform with the elites plans and ideas therefore no matter how much public support he gets he can never become President because peasants don't get to choose leaders under your system. Money chooses Presidents and a willingness to do as you are told, not votes.

Answer 9

Because he's an idealist, not a party man. He can't possibly get a GOP nomination unless basically every Libertarian and right-leaning centrist Democrat switches their party affiliation to vote for him--probably not even then. The Republican power structure would probably have their theocratic partners in crime declare him non-Biblical in some way if he really posed a threat. Personally, I love his attitude and even most of his domestic policy, but his foreign policy seems to be to not have a foreign policy, so:

Obama 08 like a muthaf***er!!!

Answer 10

Because it appears that he doesn't understand the Constitution, the document that he claims to support? His political philosophy bears more of a resemblance to the Articles of Confederation, which as you will recall didn't work out very well.

Answer 11

He has two first names, and everyone knows this will not get you anywhere. Plus, you have to be in with the Good Old Boys and be like them, so anyone different is not good. You have to be willing to play the games according to the Good Old Boys. The voter? Screw the voter. They do not care what the voter wants. For the Good Old Boys, it's all about favoritism and special interests.
