So fucking what if he is unelectable?
Hillary Clinton, Rudy Giuliani, Mitt Romney, Barack Obama, why would I even leave my house to vote for one of them? None of them come remotely close to representing my views. All represent big government and government intervention to solve all problems. Higher taxes, deficit spending, repression of economic freedom, repression of personal freedom, I don't feel compelled to trade one for the other, nor do I think debating a trade off is worth a moment of my time.
All of this "Ron Paul Conspiracy" is beyond silly. If you support the war in Iraq, balancing the budget by raising taxes, and so on, fine. I am not going to question your intelligence. Plenty of smart, sensible people will vote for Clinton, Giuliani, Romney, Obama and so on.
But, if you actually believe that a tiny core group of Ron Paul elitists have conspired to make him appear popular, your an idiot. The fact is he represents a viewpoint that many Americans feel very strongly about -- and no other candidate, Republican or Democrat comes close to fulfilling.
As for protest vote -- yes. I want things to be as uncomfortable as possible for smooth talking flip flopper and panderers who don't really believe anything.

although i love your naive, college age passion and misguided enthusiasm... you are totally missing the bigger picture of how the voting public and government work. i think thats strongly evidenced in the fact that you refuse to accept things how they are ... or even engage in any reasonable debate on issues, accepting that other perspectives and/or arguments might have some degree of validity.
