With the destruction of family, those most dependent look at the government for support. That's why our government has been systematically weakening American family through its educational and legal systems, social services and welfare.
While Ron Paul has an exemplary family himself, he doesn't address directly how his program of weaking government will strengthen family. For example getting rid of Dept. of Education and welfarism would help strengthen family. Unfortunately, he doesn't have a real campaign strategists, men like Ed Rollins or Karl Rove, focused on how to crystallize and express the right message and draw the right conclusions for different audiences to help them understand the platform and amplify its value. Ron Paul is too smart for his audience and too honest to strategize about it. The campaign staffers he has around him have proven themselves clueless for the game at the national level.
Hence, even though Ron Paul's small government, self-reliance platform is the best one for the revival of American family, that is all implicit in his speeches and the 80 percent of people are intellectually incapable of connecting the dots. Thus they go for the sugar coated pro-family rhetoric of the big government, crypto-socialist candidate Huckabee, who is in substance the most anti-family among Republicans.
