So why can't Paul win the nomination honestly? He didn't win any states at least those that have primaries. If he had won then The Republicans would have supported him over the darkside, present Obama.
I might have voted for him if he wasn't aligned with the code pinker's foriegn policy. We tried isolationism and it resulted in millions of deaths and required the total mobilization of the country for 4 years.
However, unlike Gingrich, Paul's campaign represents a message that is bigger and perhaps more popular than the candidate himself. As it continues to collect small numbers of delegates and capture control of local GOPs, Paulism is proving itself to be in rude health. Long after Mitt Romney is nominated, feted at the convention, beaten by Obama and recycled as a question on Jeopardy ("In 2012, he lost every state but Utah." "Who is ... Britt Gormley?"), Paul's philosophy will still be a factor in national politics -- something to be feared and courted in equal measure.
that is only the case for people who think Ron Paul invented his agenda. He didn't. What he did was take the traditional small government, low tax, minimal regulation, strong defense GOP historical platform......subtract the strong defense, substitute bumper sticker "abolish this, end that" simpleton slogans for rational minimal regulation, babble about the gold standard, and appeal to every unemployed kid who ever read Ayn Rand.
he will be remembered twenty years from now the way Ross Perot or Harold Stassen is.

Wrong. He never subtracted strong defense. He restored strong defense. The neocons subtracted it and replaced it with expanding an empire and nation building, which actually go contrary to a strong defense.

Military bases around the world are not for defense, they're for offense. Military bases at home are for defense.
"But whether the Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much is certain--that it has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case, it is unfit to exist." --Lysander Spooner, 1867

All those bases serve as trip wires for war, i.e., anything happens in the way of hostilities in those far away places instantly pulls the United States into war. Withdraw from them, and withdraw the trip wires to involvement in war in far flung locales.

Really, so America's presence in far off places causes wars now?

Read more carefully. That's not what I said. However, all those trip wires pull us into war whenever hostilities break out involving nations that host our bases, or nations in the same region. The wars of nations in far flung places should not concern the military of the United States unless Congress is moved by the will of their constituents at home to do so. The trip wires serve the purpose of making the involvement of our military automatic, bypassing Congress and the will of the American people. Ron Paul would like to restore our independence from foreign wars and conflicts, apart from a decision by Congress to involve us in one. Part of the way he will do that is by pulling up our various and sundry war trip wires which previous administrations have established all over the globe.
