I understand that and my reply is this plain and simple. First of all the only parties any media pay attention to and most brainwashed Americans even have a remote idea about are either the Republican or Democratic party. Secondly, since he is running as a Republican even if they are trying to black him out of the news it still causes controversy which makes people ask who is this Ron Paul and why the hell haven't I heard about him. I mean lets get serious how many of Americans would have ever known who Ralph Nader was if he didn't make a blip and supposedly destroy the race for Al Gore? The news didn't care... They wouldn't if Ron Paul ran independent as well. Moreover, this is helping the cause more than this is hurting the cause. Why does Dennis Kucinish keep running as a Democrat? He will never win their nomination and his ideas are just as independent (if not a little more controversial) as Ron Paul but he knows that it will help spread his ideas.
Now don't get me wrong their politics are different but the concept is sound.

TPTB runs the political gong show. Your vote is useless and they give you the illusion of voting to make you believe you have a say so in the process. You don't. I think Paul would be the best option, but knowing how things work, ain't gonna happen. It is known to the ones in power who is going to occupy the presidency years in advance. This can be rectified, but protesting, calling and writing to politicians, and voting, is not going to cut it.

This is too funny... Do you realize that the first president of the United States was a farmer? The writer of the Declaration of Independence was a lawyer, Regan was an Actor, G. W. Bush was an idiot, Obama was a freshmen senator, and that our government is set up that way for a reason.
Moreover, don't you think this country needs a Doctor? Especially a doctor that has been in politics for over 30 years and knows more about politics that you can me combined.
