Destroying the government like Rand and turning it over to their pals. Not buying it.

You need to come to the left...your position on the war was correct...the gold standard is fine...they HATE you on the right ...you are closer to us...there are NO moderates in the Republican party...none...
do the right thing and run as a third party candidate...

I don't know why the media doesn't go after him. I've done tons of research on him to prove my Ron Paul supporting friends he is full of shit. http://www.law.stanford.edu/publications/projects/campaignfinance/collection/paul/paul.11.6.pdf

He's doing the leg work for the GOP and somehow he flies under the media's radar.

Not only that, he's the damned BISHOP.

Economically speaking, he's worse than even most lunatic Conservatives.

If you look in the archived issues of the newspapers, Ron Paul and his conservative caucus pals weren't happy with St. Ronnie...who wasn't far enough to the right for them. Ron Paul IS part of the original lunatic conservatives. I have plenty of history on Ron Paul, if you want to see it, send me a message. I'm always happy to share

His continuing to run ensures a victory for Obama.

Now if only Obama would adapt Paul's stance on Marijuana . . .
