Some interesting figures there. The older and richer you get, the less you want to vote for Paul
Also, look at when people decided who to support... Ron Paul supporters know who they wanted. The old/rich/fundamentalist christian people are scared to vote for him.

lol wow Santorum came out of nowhere americans are retarded... a guy who guarantees he'll bomb Iran
i was seeing cnn asking one of his supporters why she supported Santorum and she looked dazed for a few seconds and then just said "uh.. family values, because i have a family and i heard he was a family man"
an older lady was asked who she supported and she said she "loves Ron Pauls domestic policy but im afraid of his foreign policy so i wont vote for him"
and that seems to be a theme with quite a few seniors, but you would think they would side with his foreign policy views considering they likely came from the Eisenhower & then Hippie era
but ah well Ron Paul had a great showing and there's quite a few to go yet
Rick Perry paid the most in advertising but still had a non showing
I think we may have to wait for the next generation or two to die off before America has any chance at being fixed.
Yes and no.
The problem is, everyone has forgotten the mantra of depression era survival.
Hey! this is broken!
"well, better hope I can fix it, because we can't buy a new one for 10 years"
Now its gotta have new cell phones every 18 months, because now it comes with some stupid voice that gives you sarcastic answers when you talk to it.
In the US and Canada(not as bad) no one wants to:
work
Sorry, should I put the list alphabetically?
work.
You have the bottom 40% on handouts, you have the middle class being hit left and right and you have the guys at the top that technically "work" but their pay is so far out of whack of any actually thing they produce its hard to say its "work" in the sense of "hey! I'm working building a railroad today"
No one wants to manufacture anything in the states because no one wants to work(I know, I'm painting with a broad brush-there are a class of middle class people that want to work, but not too hard because...)
Those that want to work want to be in a union so I can take a piss on my bosses desk, and still have a job, plus make $60,000 a year whether people want to buy our product or not(aka GM)
So people moaned about it, but in the last 20 years, the shipping companies of the world grew by massive percentages per year as "we" handed manufacturing off to 'don't give a fuck about climate, worker relations, our union is a communist union of everyone so work or die you insignificant 1 of 1.whatever the fuck billion of you we have here in China'.
Now:
That being said, for the most part its gone, and we're left with our parents generation.
They grew up in the prosperous post WW2 era. We are never going to be able to maintain that. For 30-40 years, the US was king. There were no other manufacturing options. Europe? Bombed out. Japan? Nuked out. China? Too busy with shitty 5 year plans and killing people
Of course the US did well! So did Canada. Some of our problems now relate to finding a new normal of the global economy where no one nation is really at an advantage over another.
So yes, generational problems exist, but not the only source. I think my fear is every new generation wants the gov't to do more, and the key is less.
Ever watch CNN? They have drops all the time. Technical difficulty happen daily on CNN. CNN actually showed the speech live the soldier gave at Ron Paul headquarters. Ron Paul truthers are nuts.

mainstream media does not want the guy to get elected because they are afraid of real change.
you really cant deny that, and im not talking in the context of that video.
It's even more ridiculous because the people in that electoral conference or whatever aren't even bound by the results of these things. It's more like one giant fucking poll!
The United States is bullshit anyway. everyone is fanatically religious and its not a good representation of the rest of the US.
santorum is just the flavor of the week. his time to be the flavor of the week just happened to be during the iowa caucus.
Fixed that for you.
It's hard to come to terms with this but the US won't really last very long. The way it's being bought off into war and how all these rich fucks can literally buy off politicians.. it's going to be over soon if this isn't fixed.
