You say, "If Ron Paul was in the lead I would vote for him."
I won't laugh. I could start crowing about what a silly idea that is, but in fact, millions of voters are swayed in that direction, and the tendency to think that way is largely induced on purpose. I'll try to keep this short, and still make something very clear that runs in exactly the opposite direction. I suggest that if you really know the present situation you and your country are in, you will want to make certain that Ron Paul is in the lead before the Republican Party nominates its candidate at its forthcoming convention. That will be a thousand times more exciting than merely adding your vote to the one you think might win. Yes, I'm saying, you can make him the nominee, and if that happens, he will wipe out whatever candidate the Democrats offer. But we've got to go deep. You may have heard of, or seen, the movies available on Google at the following links. Check them out thoroughly. I think they present an irrefutable case for ending inflation before it ends your country, your property, and your Liberty.

This is just a start. There is a whole lot more to consider, including the political works of Aaron Russo (America: Freedom to Fascism), Andrew Napolitano. and Jerome Corsi (The Late Great USA). But for now, let's cut to the chase, and you can then follow through on your own, and if I am wrong, please show me the evidence.
Here goes. Inflation is Tyranny. It is unlawful. It is unconstitutional. It kills whole nations, and it is killing yours and mine. The Founders insisted on substance-based currency precisely to prevent this killing of our nation. Inflation never stops until the value of the token piece of currency is actually less than the value it portrays. I saw a picture of a lady in Germany stuffing paper money into her heating stove because it was cheaper to burn it than to burn the firewood it could buy.
When that happens, and you have to use another currency, such as the "amero" unit proposed for the North American Union that commercially merges Canada, Mexico, and the United States, my friend, you are in another country, and all your unalienable rights are gone. You will then be a slave of your new corporate masters, with no choice but to join them in total Tyranny, or be rightless and poor. Ultimately, they can put you through a meat grinder if they like, and no court will stop them. Of course, it will be more profitable for them to sell your fresh body parts to medicine for big bucks. If you were in China today, and were to try to enforce the rights you have here under the Constitution, your fresh vital organs could be removed while your dead body rides a bus headed for the airport, from which they will be shipped to the highest paying bidder. That's today. I saw a photo of the bus.
All the other candidates are pro-inflation, because it provides mega-bucks for them to grab and look good and be powerful in the upper stories of the castle of Tyranny. Ron Paul, or any other genuine Constitutionalist, will take us the other way, in which We The People rule our own nation, and can again become rich and peaceful and generous.
Why has Ron Paul been obscured to the degree that he gets low ratings? Because the Tyrants own the "news" media and shape what you can know. Carroll Quigley details the process over the decades in his book, Tragedy and Hope. Check out how J. P. Morgan was able to kick back and relax, knowing that he controlled the entire domains of both Republicans and Democrats. You can download that whole book and word search "political parties" and read all about it.
You and I can put Ron Paul in office because the present "New World Order" descendants of the Morgan affair do not yet control the Internet. Just for these very words you and I share, if in China, we would most definitely lose everything, and probably get our organs sold. Not so here yet. Freedom of choice! Use it or lose it! This is an emergency that transcends party politics.
Ready to win? Any questions? Can you show me proof from evidence that I am wrong?
