Because he got whupped in the primaries and the election. That is all.
He is the in man.

He wasn't enough of a maverick to talk straight about his hope for believing in change.
He lost a paper rock scissors match to Barack for the clinching "change" and "yes we can" slogans that win elections.
And this happened because people (voters) are stupid.
Especially his supporters, they all had sticks up their ass if you said anything bad about him
Well, you are the stupid one who voted for a loser.
As opposed to the "you betcha" slogan?
Actually I did not vote.
Seriously, I would have voted him if he got the Republican nomination. In the end, he was never going to get it b/c he wasn't going to wear the "THEY are evil...America is great!" shirt all Republicans wear.
Remember mormon Mitt saying, "I wouldn't change anything about America. I love America!"
Remember cheatin' Guiliani demanding Paul apologize for saying some US policies in the Middle East has contributed to their anger for the US?
, even pundits like Rush and Hannity don't want "true conservatism" based on the rules of the Cons ution (Rush doesn't even know the difference in the Cons ution and the Preamble).
Ron Paul spoke the truth of all these things, but wasn't going to win their support since he wouldn't take the talking-points of the Right. Even the 'right' branded him a 'loon'. But he was the only Republican candidate that had a real youth grass-roots movement & got the attention of leftist like Bill Maher.
Specifically I'd like to point out that Americans as a whole are at the point were they're incapable of freely understanding whats good for them. Programmed to buy into whats being marketed most effectively. No one runs a campaign like Obama. Those two running mates marketed themselves to the forefront and the best salesman won. They didn't pitch to a better America they pitched themselves as a better option over the other. The two weren't that drastically different.
Secondly Paul was about massively changing the Country and shrinking the government (good luck getting $$$$ backing with that kind of mentality). The second largest shortcoming of Americans is their inability to accept change, enact meaningful change and see the bigger picture.
hey. i thought this was about ron paul
i wish
I guess this Ron Paul chode is some neocon congressman for Orange County California
Because for some reason Americans are convinced that the house isn't built on sand. People are too greedy to support the kind of revolutionary change that a Ron Paul'esque politician would bring to the country. That sort of presidency and economic model would require huge restraint and responsibility from a more or less stone stupid and greedy populace. In other words, even if it meant a tax/services cut- America doesn't want to live within its means.
lol, exactly correct.
He suffers from bad timing, people aren't ready for REAL change....
this video is great: Barack and Paul ...the difference.

Because people voted for hope and change!
Maybe (and this is just a possibility) people didn't vote for him because he advocated things like completely getting rid of every government agency, and we lazy Americans don't want to inspect our own water and meat.
That's quite the stretch.
I just felt like a vote for Ron Paul was a wasted vote. Of course, as it turned out, my vote for McPain didn't make much difference either...just too many people got fooled by Obama.
Hopefully they will come to their senses and start repairing the damage in the '10 congressional elections before they completely up this country.
You got fooled for 8 yrs so stop whining you richer.
He never properly distanced himself from the racists and nutjobs among his supporters.
With all due and sincere respect I'm not going to read it, but I did hear him say with his own mouth, he believes any government agency or department that's not explicitly created in the Cons ution should be abolished. Regardless of whether or not that would be a wise and safe thing to do, it's flat unrealistic.
