Why does everyone ignore Ron Paul? I mean seriously he's probably the only honest politician on that stage.
Well, first off, he's 75 years old. I think that might be pushing the envelope a bit. That would make him the oldest president ever elected by 5 years (Reagan was 70 when he was inaugurated)
Secondly, do you really, honestly believe that the Christian right is going to embrace a guy who thinks Heroin should be legal? It ain't gonna happen.
Other things he says that are just kind of wacky are that he wants to abolish the IRA, end income taxes, eliminate 5 cabinet level positions/departments in the government, it's all pie in the sky nonsense that everyone knows is never going to get done.
Ron Paul is, in a word: "Unelectable" when it comes to the presidency.
