Why do all presidential politicians have to attack each other except Ron Paul?

Question

Your religion this, your drug use that, your military experience... blah blah blah. Only Ron Paul stick to the issues.

Answer 1

Ron Paul has no weakness except that the media is not giving him the exposure.

Answer 2

I have noticed have not seen much Ron Paul bashing. I am voting for the man . Other politicians do it to each other , they see the others as a threat . Guess they don't think he has a chance .
Ron Paul does stick to the issues and they are issues that seems other politicians seem to ignore or know nothing about.Why is this? I mean really I have not heard 1 word from the other canidates about New World Order or North American Union. The SPP Act , The Patriot Act .
DoMost Americans know our constitution can be suspended if police state called? Does anyone know that your home can be search and you detained with out warrant if your deemed a terroist ? Look up what the defintion of terrorist is.I think you will be surprised what it actually means.

Answer 3

The other politicians, especially the top-tier candidates, have territory to defend. Ron Paul, on the other hand, has no territory to defend, because outside of Y! Answers, YouTube, Facebook, and White Supremacist chat rooms, there is nobody supporting him. Notice that the ones throwing the most barbs have the best chance of becoming president. Huckabee wasn't bashing anyone until he became a top contender, and now he's slinging mud with the rest of them. Romney is also at the front of the line and Giuliani not far behind. Thompson is at the end of the line with Tom Tracadero and Joseph Biden in the back of the room. Ron Paul, on the other hand, isn't even in the back of the room - he is in the parking lot behind the building wondering what time it is.

Of course, when you consider the fact that Ron Paul blamed the US for 9/11, I suppose one could say he didn't sling mud at any one candidate, so much as he did at the entire voting population as well. Telling Americans that they had it coming is not the best way to win votes.

Answer 4

I'm sure they're scratching heads because they can't find anything bad about him. I don't think Dr. Paul would attack the others anyway. Unless you count the comment about Rudy not being qualified. I totally agree with that. Rudy is a scary dude.

Answer 5

Ron Paul on Guiliani:

""I'm giving Mr. Giuliani a reading assignment," the nine-term Texas congressman said as he stood behind a stack of books that included the report by the commission that examined the attacks on the United States on September 11, 2001.

"I don't think he's qualified to be president," Paul said of Giuliani. "If he was to read the book and report back to me and say, 'I've changed my mind,' I would reconsider."

Answer 6

Because Ron Paul is the only Republican candidate whose record has integrity, who is not corrupted by Corporate cash or the Military Industrial Complex.

He was right about the illegality of the invasion and occupation of Iraq (like Democrat Dennis Kucinich was) and the harm it has caused the United States in the world.

He was right (to vote against) about the Corporate controlled "Free Trade" agreements which have sent millions of Americans jobs overseas.

edit: you are wrong "His Divine..." here in "Liberal" San Francisco I have seen Ron Paul bumperstickers and a big Ron Paul sign over U.S. 101.

Answer 7

Because they can only win if they fight unfairly.

Ron Paul is a fair man with a good voting record. He has nothing to hide and no need to play silly games and stoop to there level.

There is a difference between calling out someones voting record and political skills and bashing someone for personal choices such as divorce, drugs religion.
Ron may speak out about there political skills but you wont see him in the gossiping games

Answer 8

Don't your lips ever get tired from perpetually kissing Ron Paul's butt?

Answer 9

Because America NEEDS Ron Paul!

Ron Paul '08

Google Ron Paul!!!

Answer 10

LOL Give him time. When it gets down and dirty, he will change his tactics a bit, trust me...they all do in the end. Regardless of their political affiliation--they are all the same. After all, a leopard can't change his spots :) As for why the resort to such tactics...um how about the fact they really have nothing else better to discuss? I mean really, when was the last time, if ever, you actually heard a politician say something along the lines of, "Yes, you are right, this needs to be done, but in all reality, I am just a figurehead. While I will try to work with both sides on this issue, the fact still remains with all the red tape, there isn't really gonna be much I can do about the issue." I mean, that would be the truth, but in the end, all we get are idle promises and have to choose the lesser of two evils. Sad isn't it?

Answer 11

Thats interesting, I hadn't thought about that but I believe your right. I like Paul but he didn't look very polished today, Romney looks like a slick used car salesman, and Thompson is a smart axx.
