I think you missed a few polls there Bigdaddy. Cherry-picking statistics is pretty cool I suppose if it supports your argument. But once again you're missing the point; Ron Paul has attracted hundreds of thousands if not millions of people to the libertarian movement, and he's brought issues like the Federal Reserve, the military industrial complex, monetary policy, and an assortment of other taboo topics to the forefront of today's political discourse. Feel free to stay in your bubble and keep yelling at yourself that Ron Paul doesn't matter, because he most certainly does, and it's evidenced in the polls. He may not win this Presidential primary or election, but he has blazed a path for future libertarian candidates like Gary Johnson, his son Rand, and people we don't even know about yet. Keep supporting the status quo if it keeps you happy I guess, but I'm supporting Ron Paul because I'm not a fan of the status quo.
