Ron Paul Supporters in Louisiana

That's because if Paul were to win, people would be rioting in the streets if he even tries to enact just one of his ideas...

Too many middle Americans benefit from all these programs Paul would have to cut because they aren't "Constitutional".

Raise the value of the dollar and watch inflation/unemployment soar through the roof as Americans flock to imports because they are the cheaper products.

Think the trade deficit is bad now?

Planning on rounding up all the illegal immigrants in this country to deport them? Be prepared for protracted court battles by the ACLU, for example arguing that they deserve these "human rights". Why do you think they qualified for these benefits in the first place?

Ask any person who has worked patrolling the border what they are allowed and not allowed to do thanks to organizations like the ACLU.

Paul's ideas make for great academic debates, but cannot exist in the real political world. Too many people would be repulsed by the ideas.
