Why wouldn't Ron Paul Win?

There are people tired of the ineffective federal government. There are people who don't just want out of Iraq, but out of Germany, Korea, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, etc times 100. There are people who want the ability to p laws without vetoes from the federal government. Not to say this is always wrong, but to point out it is often at odds with our own Constitution. The Constitution gave the federal government dominion over things like National Defense. It left the other issues up to the states. Issues like abortion, education, and health care are not the domain of the federal government. It also gave us the RIGHT to bear arms. A right the federal government is more likely to undermine as a remedy to increasing incredulity at its ineffectiveness and its corruption. A remedy no doubt intended to "protect us". Similar arguments were no doubt made by the British. They protected us from the savage Indians. Funny thing is; after we declared ourselves free, they conspired with them.
