Ron Paul and what if Part 1

I will never fully understand how Congressman Ron Paul was completely deionized by so called conservatives last year during the presidential primaries. When I look back to the crop of candidates that ran for the Republican Nomination, there were only four candidates that I considered true conservatives. They were Duncan Hunter, Tom Tancredo, Alan Keyes and Ron Paul. Do you want to know what all these candidates had in common besides being conservatives? All four of these candidates never made it out of the second tier group during the primaries. I had a chance to watch the candidates last year at the Republican Presidential Debate that was held at Morgan University here in Baltimore. When I heard Ron Paul speak, I realized that he was the only candidate on stage that was explaining exactly what was wrong with the fiscal and monetary policies in Washington. I was very impressed with his knowledge on economics. Ron Paul was able to attract a huge following of young voters during the primaries due to the fact that they actually understood what he was saying. They connected with him on the issue of pulling out of Iraq. Paul was ostracized by talk radio personalities merely, because he was opposed to the Iraq war. For one moment in time, Ron Paul had a demographic group the Republican Party have been scratching it's head trying to figure out how to attract. Ron Paul had the "youth vote" in the palm of his hands. When it became apparent that Paul wasn't going to be taken seriously as a candidate by his fellow Republicans and Conservatives, young people left Paul and went to Obama. This is a poll that Rasmussen or Zogby should conduct to prove my point. They should do a poll asking the young people that voted for Obama "Did they at one time support Ron Paul for President". The election platform for Republicans was mostly about Iraq, and who originally made Iraq an issue for Republicans and conservatives to rally around? It was the poison of the Republican Party "George Walker Bush". There is no rationale explanation why a person like John McCain won the Republican nomination over Ron Paul. This is Ron Paul speaking at CPAC last year. It's no surprise why true conservatives loved Paul and booed McCain at CPAC.
