Are we sure that TPTB are not actually behind him and its their ploy to ensure their desired outcome? eg. Obama staying in power or Perry (who I suspect is connected to TPTB) for numerous reasons including is roots etc!
The last time you had candidate that spoke against the status quo and promissed to do so much and make so much change got elected but didnt deliver!

The ignoring of Paul does look a little too obvious to ring true. Like its almost blatantly deliberate and being done by design but whats the real agenda/plan or desired effect! Is he being saved for the primary on a purpose to guarantee his election thus TPTB ensure that they get the next POTUS they desire. Which could be Obama or Paul if it is a ploy by them!!!
Speculation but it provokes thought nonetheless!!!

Yes, but Americans can be fiercely patriotic and Xenophobic, when its suggested that a candidate maybe influenced by forces outside the US people would go nuts.
Think of all the obama muslim stuff that gets spread around, or the birther arguments, even a hint of it sends people into a frenzy.
Imagine proof that a candidate was funded by money from outside the US, it would only be used to hurt the candidate that got it, and the more they got the worse it would be.
Heres an example of the crap Kerry got.
Kerry speaks french
Do you understand that people here got upset because the man was bi-lingual... Man I miss the days when I wasn't ashamed by what america has become.
I would love Ron Paul as president, and you idea in a perfect world might work, but the whole reason we are in this mess is the world isn't perfect.edit on 17-8-2011 by benrl because: (no reason given)
