Just a very simple question. Why does Ron Paul tend to be ignored in the Republican Party and the Tea Party? I got thinking about this after Jon Stewart's segment a couple of days back about this. His primary stances are libertarian conservative, and yet he is constantly downplayed in the Republican debates, he is less favoured in the media compared to Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachmann, who more or less jumped on the Tea Party bandwagon, when Ron Paul (to keep along with the metaphor) practically built it. Does anyone have a theory on why?

Or they're threatened by his changing the game which they make a living pretending to be experts on.

I didn't say no one agreed with just not enough to get him nominated so he is irrelevant

Because libertarianism doesn't rely on religion.

Yes the reason the fanatic doesn't get more support is he is the wrong kind of fanatic *NM*
