Test matches voter to Ron Paul but she refuses to vote for him

[AisA1787]

Yes, of course people want change. But they've been taught that change should be easy, painless, and fun.

I make the analogy to weight loss. Lots of Americans want to lose weight just like they want "change", but they don't want to stop eating junk food and start exercising. They'd much rather pop a diet pill they see advertised on TV. Barack Obama is that diet pill: a convenient, well-packaged agent of change -- results are "guaranteed" and no work required!

Ron Paul is that crazy old doctor who tells people they need to eat healthy and exercise to lose weight. Screw that! Man is that guy annoying. Hasn't he ever heard of diet pills? They're so much easier...

I'm not sure why this puzzles so many... yes- people want change, but they are also very afraid of change. It is thus logical that presenting change in large doses can have counter effects. Our policies surely represent the largest doses of change of any candidate, and this intimidates many, and causes others to be incredulous.

Absolute truth.

This is why you have to be careful when presenting the Ron Paul message. Try not to overwhelm them with the myriad of things that RP will abolish and completely turn upside-down. Most people just can't handle that.

This is like a video I saw from the washington post...

Some girl said she liked Huckabee and then she said she thinks there should be less taxes.... ROFL!!!

Bush and Cheney have convinced her that Republican = Evil.

The Talk of the Nation radio show discussed online quizzes that find your candidate based on your answers.

A caller said that her views clearly matched Ron Paul by a wide margin but she will not vote for him because "his" views are too "far out"--even though those are her views too.

She is planning on voting for Edwards or Obama even though they barely match her views.

Obama, Edwards and Clinton have changed positions so much that really nobody matches them. When will the antiwar left wake up and realize all three top democratic candidates refused to promise to get out of Iraq even by 2013?
