Reasons Why Ron Paul Won't Win

Ron Paul, Republican congressperson from Texas, never had a chance to win the presidential nomination. Here's why:
  • His slogan was the "Ron Paul Revolution." America's not so big on Revolutions. It's more of a one-and-done country.
  • He's not sure of his own platform. In interviews it seems like he decides on the spot which government agencies to get rid of.
  • Though he set the record for biggest one day fundraising on the internet, he only he received "Ron Paul dollars."
  • At 6 feet tall, he's too short.
  • His fervent supporters are not persuasive. Largely because they're crazy.
  • Being the "Republican version of Dennis Kucinich" is never good.
  • He was against the war and vastly underestimated the extent to which Republicans love the taste of blood.
  • I know more about alleged Dutch murderer Johan Van Der Sloot than I do about Ron Paul thanks to the media.
  • When you make Dan Quayle look like a good debater and make Ross Perot look sane, it's not a good thing.
  • House Reps generally don't get either nomination.
  • Officer R.L. Hancock from Virginia is a douchebag.
  • Ron Paul's face looks like my balls.
  • He belongs to the most persecuted group on the planet, white Protestant males.
