How does Ron Paul win debates and numerous straw polls, and raise so much money, with no support at all?

I guess I'm partly responsible for that. I've donated money to his campaign. Am I a bad person? Be straight with me. I can take it.

1. Ron Paul deserves everything good. It's correct to support him by all means. On the contrary, you're a very good person. Go Ron Paul!
2. because telling the truth is easy and people see he is telling the truth- his volunteer army of 40000 in just the meetups where the second closest to have supporters like us is obama w/5000- help to get the word out about him. your question is actually based on false hype from the powers that be and are soon to be replaced by a representative for the people of the best country on earth
3. I am so proud of Ron Paul he is really building momentum and putting a good message out there for everyone. Go on, support whom ever you choose because that is your individual free choice and I love that about you. lol
4. his poll numbers are based on Internet sites where Trolls spam the ever loving hell out of it to make it look like he is a winner. Ron Paul has not won a single debate. in fact tonight he proved he was a squealing idiot incapable of dealing with facts. I have no Idea how he gets all his money. My guess is some people are selling their comic book collections and extra pot to give to his campaign. your not a bad person if you donated to him, but if you continue to think he is a viable candidate after tonights self destuction... you might want to seek professional help.
5. what debate has he won? cause he sure didnt win the debate I saw tonight. If anyone won it was probably Huckabee. Keep in mind I am not a Huckabee supporter.
6. Let him win the straw polls. Let him have his "moment in the sun." His delusional hopes of being President will all come crashing down in January.

8. He's a fool. Unrealistic. Who are these idiots who support him?
9. The liberal media ignores Ron Paul because they are government worshipping cultists who are afraid of his ideas. All these fools who support their candidate because of personality rather than issues can't comprehend that someone gets supported because of his ideas. If you are a member of the minority in the USA who still thinks the federal government's power should be limited, there should be no income tax, and individual freedom should be defended, then Ron Paul is the candidate to support. But if you are one of the millions of fools who complain about government but still want more taxes, more programs, more laws, then support any of the other candidates.
