He’s totally nuts.
I don’t LIKE him because he is a NEO CON.
Good riddance, Ron Paul.
You may want to look up the definition of a neo-con. Ron Paul does not quality.
Paul has more conservative in his little finger than McCain has on his entire hand.
If it weren’t for his idiotic take on isolationism, and his refusal to reject the nutcase racists that infected his publications team at one point, then he’d be viable.
But, if one simply takes 20 conservative issues and compares Paul and McCain, Paul would rate a 19 and McCain would be lucky to get to 9.
McCain still is not my choice UNLESS he picks a known, viable, non-Cino, conservative running mate.
I’m actually going to (gasp!) stand up for Paul on this one—if he doesn’t agree with McCain’s stands on issues, there’s no real reason for him to make the symbolic move of endorsing him.
And honestly, considering the makeup of the odd coalition of supporters that Paul put together during his run, I’d say more of them will be voting for Ralph Nader than would vote for John McCain anyway.

Ron Paul is many things, but he’s certainly not a neo-con. If anything, he’s nearly a line-by-line Libertarian. Open borders, isolationist, minimal government, and so on.
There. Fixed it for you. :o)
Because he’s a freak??
unless you are shrimp-boater, then Ron Paul is a liberal as John Murtha.
You also forgot the Alex Jones 911-truthers.
Thanks.
Will Paul take the Constitution Party nomination?
And the Party's establishment's side of that bargain would be...?
Anyone who attempts to equate Paul and senile John Murtha is going to have a tough sell with me. State your case.
Is this phrase trying to imply that McCain needs Ron Paul to win in November?
I don't know whether McCain will win or not (I suspect he will), but I know the Ron Paul endorsement will carry him about as far towards victory as the endorsements of a barber named Gus in Des Moines and bus driver named Suzie in Laredo.
Paul has his anti-war base of moonbats, but they are not voting for McCain. Ever.
And the r3VOLutianries will be around for years to mess things up. The local GOP is now neck-deep in Pauleroids wanting to pass idiot resolutions against the war in Iraq, and calling for the dissolution of the Federal Reserve, and siding with the progressives on every local issue.
There are plenty of them who still believe they can steal the nomination this fall if they get enough delegates to switch their vote from McCain to Paul.
It couldn’t be because he acts as if he is a few bricks shy of having a full load could it?
That's a tough call. I don't think he wants to be Nader(R) on this cycle, though he would certainly be a good fit with either the Constitutional and Libertarian parties. I think he's more likely to stick with his congressional race and hold other Republican's feet to the fire when he takes office.
Your take?
He’s right. I will oppose him, and anyone who supported his just. Until he gets his head screwed on straight about the war, I want nothing to do with him.
RP trashes the Republican Party every chance he has then whines they don’t reach out to him........what a fruit cake.
