It is really funny hearing the wingnuts screech for Ron Paul when he hasn't won a single state, and his campaign has raised only $53,984. The comedian Stephen Colbert's fake super pac on the other hand has raised $794,462.

It doesn't seem like anyone is voting or funding Ron Paul in his bid for the presidency...except for a very vocal minority of cranks. The champions of Paul have been shown how many people actually want Ron Paul as president, and so far that support is vocal but extremely few in number.

Even if Paul gets every state remaining in the primary he couldn't win the nomination. He has lost. Even the more notable candidates Santorum and Gingrich have already pulled out...and they might have actually won if they had the remaining states.

Colbert is surgingEven though he isn't even on the ballot he is getting ALL the delegates!!The WHOLE WORLD is cheering for Steven Colbert!!He is pursuing a clever stategy where he doesn't bother with the primaries,he will just send an army of androids disguised as elected delegates to the convention,[the real delegates will be kidnapped and sequestered in a downtown strip club until after the convention after which they will be too hung over to remember they weren't there].The special android replicants will then unanimously vote Steven Colbert in as the nominee!!The Mitt Romney replacement android will then endorse him!!With John Stewart as his running mate he will smash the democratic party opposition in November!!

This proves that this country is a country of mostly morons. Im sorry it is the truth though! Ron Paul is right on about a lot of things and until the American people get off the D and R crack that they have become addicted to and brainwashed into electing they have no one to blame for the shape of things. I wish he would just make it official though and run as a libertarian.

Ron Paul has been elected for decades as a republican....perhaps after the campaign he can go to rehab.There have been and are independents in congress,he has chosen to not be one of them...just sayin'

Well, isn't it a government by the people? You may not agree, but the people cast their vote for those they wish.

They do not wish to have Paul or his views on issues represent them.

Having the serious position that a very small minority is better to rule over the majority because...well, they simply believe they are better at it, is not a democracy.

I don't even drink or use drugs...an old girlfriend used to constantly roll her eyes at me,sigh, and exclaim "I'm so glad you don't drink or do drugs because you are too weird already"...I took it as a compliment but I don't think it was intended as one

That's not even true about what Paul has raised.

People would want to elect a comedian that isn't funny, yep, sounds a lot like liberals.
