Please educate me on Ron Paul. Isn't he sort of a Bob Dornan, tell it like he sees it whether anyone likes it or not, kind of guy? If you don't remember Bob Dornan, then just think of John Wayne with an attitude. BTW, I like both Bob Dornan and John Wayne.
Ron Paul is a LIBERTARIAN, who couldn't win a dog catcher election as one, so now runs as a Republican. Though he has a few followers on FR, he has NO backing in the real world, outside of his district. He votes with the Dems more often than he votes with the GOP and he voted against the WOT and tax cuts. He walks to a different drummer and is out of step with this century.
