Comment: "Nobody knew who Dr. Paul was"
"Nobody knew who Dr. Paul was"
That just isn't true. If you said most people didn't know who he was, yes, that would be true. I stand by the statement that nation-wide, Ron Paul was far more well-known than Obama or Romney, though. Not just among libertarians, but also true conservative republicans. Before the internet, there were other sources of info. by which RP became well-known, such as magazines (especially the JBS publication the New American which published a voting index twice a year -- RP was always the poster boy with a 100% constitutional voting record), pamphlets from organizations like the National Taxpayers Union, NRA, JPFO, GOA, etc. not to mention talk radio...Ron was mentioned frequently on popular shows like the Chuck Harder Show among many others.
Of course Obama and Romney got the major media attention, they're members of the good ol' boys club (Duh!) and for those in the know, it's the best indication of who NOT to support.
Yeah, RP had only grassroots support -- for his entire political career, not just his presidential runs. Did the grassroots support create the candidate or did the candidate create the support? Think about it.
The RP.com owners are profiteers, obviously. $850,000, then $250,000 for a domain name? You think that guy is entitled to that kind of money from RP for a domain? Yeah, it's a dog eat dog world alright when so many of RP's "supporters" would throw him under the bus and defend that kind of shameful opportunism.
