RavenMad Posted November 7, 2012 Posted November 7, 2012 Easy. The pharma copanies want to make a pill that has the compounds that help so they can make a ton of money. They don't want to have to compete with a plant. Plus I would rather have the side effects of that plant than any of the side effects you hear about of nearly every drug being advertised on tv: Quote

Spen Posted November 7, 2012 Posted November 7, 2012 I like Ron Paul and think he has good ideas and think he is a good man. However I do not think there is any way he is was or is an electable president. I think he loses against anyone the Dems would run against him. I think that's partially why the Republican party doesn't take him seriously. Quote

He would have kept the intrenched GOP followers who voted for Mitt. they also would have gone Bachman, Cain, Santorum, or Gingrich. Whan Paul would have done is chop Obama's huge lead in the youth by 40% min. He is more liberal than Obama on the things they want and also Obama has sold them out on those topics and they have not been happy. Quote

I am not going to argue with you because there is no way to find out. I think a lot of people like Paul's ideas and consistency and wish other candidates had some of the same, but I think very few people view him as a legitimate candidate or want him as one. I am certainly not going to waste time arguing whether a person who no one thought had a serious chance of winning his party's nomination would somehow win the presidency easily. Or at all. Quote
papasmurfbell Posted November 7, 2012 Posted November 7, 2012 His party didn't see him as legitamate. But had he taken the nomination they would have thrown support behind him. Hell look at the GOP debates in 2008 and 2012. The moderators were trying to marginalize him. He was never allowed to speak. The media rode with that and always said he is not legit. Had they given his ideas an equal hearing I think he would have shown better for the nomination. Ultimately romeny took it because he had far more money than anyone else he was running against. When Santorum or Newt tried to make a run they were baraged by ads they could not refute because they didn't have the money to do so. Paul had a good stack of cash at all times because he had such a broad base of support that was completely loyal in the youth and Libertarians. Ultimately this is an issue of money in politics and special interests paying to get their way. It does not allow for a true democratic process. Quote
