Why is Ron Paul getting 9-10% every primary and caucus while Kucinich would get 0-1%?

How is that possible? He was essentially a third party candidate, he speaks and acts nothing like a Republican, yet has been getting 9 or 10 percent every caucus and primary. That isn’t a ton of support, but in terms of “third party” candidates it is.

How is that possible when Kucinich struggled to even get 1 percent?

Because he is the current "it" candidate. The media might not support him but on the internet, he gets more than enough attention. His supporters are incredibly die hard and do whatever it takes to get his name out. Just look at the 50,000 threads on here.

What I don't understand is how people can support a candidate that doesn't believe in evolution. For the last 8 years we saw what happens when a President ignores facts, why anyone would vote for another candidate that is blinded by faith is beyond me.

Ron Paul is the political equivalent to a Live Strong bracelet. It's supposed to mean you care, but in the end it's just a cheap, yellow piece of plastic.

Money talks, brother, Money talks....and it seems that the Paul campaign has been successful at the amassing of money.

cause Ron Paul is only a little crazy, and Kucinich is hella crazy, lol

ok, really, I believe it is because Republicans aren't very confident or happy with their current choices and willing to listen to outside the norm, and Democrats are pretty happy with the choices they have, so they aren't willing to listen to far outside the norm.
Also, everyone should listen to much of what Ron Paul is saying, we need a little more Libertarianism in our politics.

Funny.

Thats what i think about Obama.

:rolleyes:

Obama is CFR.
Go watch Endgame and tell me what you think about him after that.

:cool:

Oh.
If Endgame is too much, just go wikipedia "H G Wells" and read under the "politics" section.
That should show you the idea has been around a LONG while. In fact, Wells was probably as close to CFR as it got back then. War of The Worlds has been alledged to have been a STUDY in mass media manipulation\"mind control"\propaganda etc ... PAID FOR by a proto-CFR establishment. Check it out. Its all out there folks.
