This is pathetic

If libertarian Republican Ron Paul could convert the passion of his supporters to real political power, he would easily win the GOP presidential nomination. These people are true believers.
Unfortunately for Paul, his backers also are politically naive. Most of them have no real grasp of the process. Their hero has no chance in hell of winning even one primary election or caucus, let alone the nomination, but many of them seem completely unaware of that hard truth.
The cluelessness of the Paulists is demonstrated by the campaign commercial below, which cites bogus, unscientific polls as evidence of their man’s popularity among the people. (The ad also is embarrasing for its many grammar, spelling and punctuation errors — including repeated uses of the word “canidate.”)

You’re absolutely right, some of the Ron Paul videos are amateurish, and he will not win. But no one, not even Obama, has anywhere near the devotion to their candidate as he has. Type in Ron Paul on youtube and you have over 100,000 hits. Type in Mitt Romney and you have less than 8,000. John McCain gets less than 4,000.
Also, not all of us are uneducated. Some of us have read Ludwig von Mises, Frederic Bastiat, and Murray Rothbard. Ron Paul is not challenged on his monetary views on stage by the other candidates because they don’t HAVE monetary theories of their own. Are they monetarists? Keynesians? They won’t say, because they don’t have any idea of the difference.
