Could it be because voters don't take him seriously?

Why would anybody take Ron Paul seriously?

Paul is overlooked by the media because he does not meet narrative of a slick good looking politician with good or at least amusing sound-bites. And he damn good on many fiscal issues, but he is a bit of a nut.

Anyone in their right mind will ignore him from here on out. The longer he stays in, the less likely anyone is ever going to take his son seriously.

Not unlike groundhog day, every four years the Paul cult emerges to see if they and their wierd idol can cast a dark shadow.

They ignore Lyndon LaRouche too and his groupies get just as annoyed by it.

Because he is a international politics moron and a historical buffoon.

Other than that, he would have got my vote a long time ago.

Why does the media ignore Ron Paul? Let me count the ways..

He is too old to be elected as president?

He is a libertarian running as a republican?

His Trutherism is kookie?

He thinks Iran shoud be allowed to have nukes?

I could go on, but it is late. In all fairness, I do agree with some of his fiscal opinions.

I am absolutely no fan of Ron Paul, but one would think he should receive more coverage. However, “news entertainment” across the board is crap.

The msm wants Perry or Romney to win.

Ron Paul is their last choice.

Ron Paul wants to abolish the Federal Reserve, and he’s serious about it.

The Globalists are 100% in favor of the Federal Reserve.

Perry is the NWO candidate, and Paul challenges that.

This is how the media controls our electoral process. They select our candidates for us by giving the ones they want nominated the most coverage. Then they use positive or negative coverage on the final nominees to sway voters in the direction they want.

In the last election the media singled out the weakest candidate (McCain) and gave him the most coverage until he was nominated, then they picked the guy they wanted to win and gave him more positive coverage then the opponent.

Right now, the weakest candidate and least likely to be able to put up a real fight against Obama is Romney and guess who is getting the most media attention?

The media knows that Romney care and his ecomnomic record in Massachusetts will make it hard for conservatives to rally support because the guy is just another Obama with an R next to his name.

We need a strong candidate that will force media attention.

Same reason they’re ignoring Jon Huntsman, Thad McCotter and those other guys.

They’re not going to get the nomination.

Ron Paul has as much chance as being President as Chairman Obama does throwing a baseball like a man.

Ron Paul is pretty savvy on fiscal matters. He has won straw polls all over the place for years, because the young college students like his ideas of legalizing drugs and they pack the venues where he shows up to speak. ...Thinking adults realize his ideas regarding isolation and defense of the USA are just plain idiotic.

It must be difficult for his son to witness, as Rand seems to be pretty level headed and a Conservative.
