He got screwed over by the GOP and media the same way Bernie did. Red pilled me hard the way they treated him. I remember seeing him get second in the Iowa straw poll and thinking he really had a chance. Definitely had momentum and was popular on college campuses. Then I saw the absolute media blackout, literally skipping over the second place spot to talk about their shitty preferred candidate. I guess at the time it was Mittens.

I was at the California straw poll back in 2008. Sat through a bunch of BS promoting Fred Thompson. After that, the vote was opened and a bunch of Ron Paul supporters came in. When it was obvious Paul was going to win the strawpoll in a landslide, the vote was simply cancelled.

Last time I gave a dime to the Republican Party. I did donate the federal maximum to Ron Paul though anyhow. That's when I realized it didn't matter who you voted for and the fix was always in.

In 2008 they manufactured something they called the “Hukaboom” just so they could avoid talking about what was actually happening with Ron Paul
