Ron Paul’s big problem is that his messages simply can’t be understood by human beings with IQ’s less than 100. And in these times, that’s about 80% of the electorate. ;)

I beg to differ. They were smart enough to vote for Reagan in landslides. They were smart enough to vote for the Gingrich Contract With America.

Whether Ron Paul can win the nomination or not isn't so much the question here. It's how does Ron Paul, despite his opposition to the war in Iraq, garner so much support and excitement compared to the rather lackluster appeal of the rest of the GOP field who compete for being the biggest hawk in the race.

When we were excluded in Iowa, the rest of the candidates had 600 bored supporters and our rally drew in 1200 very excited RP supporters. The media pretended it was because we offered free hot dogs.

When people show up in sizable numbers everywhere Dr. Paul appears, many traveling hundreds of miles, the GOP just ignores that appeal.

When Ron Paul visits Google, opposes their Net Neutrality stance, gets more attention and video replays in only three days at YouTube's Google presidential site, beating out McCain's video and Hitlery's despite theirs having been up for months, and has to hold a second packed fundraiser that night in Silicon Valley, everyone just pretends it doesn't mean anything.

When young people are excited all over the internet by RP's message, even in socialist bastions in places like Belgium and Germany where there are chapters of RP supporters, somehow, it just gets ignored.

Now, Ron Paul packs them in in a South Carolina event, raises $5000 for the local country GOP and makes everyone, including the formerly opposing county GOP chairman, feel like a winner with his message.

Just what is wrong with the magic of that old Reagan message anyway?

Insult those who don't agree with you--now there's a charitable and winning message.

Signed,

Just another idiot with a low IQ
