His supporters are DUmmies, Buchananites and 9/11 “Truthers”.

His supporters do tend to be people who have read the Constitution a time or two and are quite displeased over the two Big Spender parties.

Just who are Ron Paul Supporters?

Mostly Libertarian drug addicts.

Sounds as though the country is in real trouble bigtime.

Libertarians, Pat Buchannon isolationists, and Nutroots from the left.

Based upon Paul’s previous attempt at the Presidency, I’d not worry about him being much of a force in this election.

In 1998 he managed to get some 431,000 votes or about 0.47% of the vote as the Libertarian presidential candidate. I doubt he’ll cause much of a ripple among the GOP primary voters once all is said and done. He gets a lot of internet play but he doesn’t have the money nor the organization to deal will a hard fought GOP primary campaign, imo.

"Who are Ron Paul supporters".

Probably those who are looking for someone who has more to offer than policies that have the support of 30% of voters.

I’m sure that Ron Paul is Osama bin Laden’s favorite Republican.

Raising the question of how many Ron Paul supporters are truly Republicans... How many lifelong Republicans look at a field of ten other candidates (if you include Thompson) and say, “I reject all of them”?

Just did a check. Of the 6195 votes for Paul right now,
4063 of them came from this site:
http://www.gopstrawpolls.com/pollresults.php?state=&refer=gopstrawpolls.com

Not sure what that means (maybe spamming, not sure)

I submit this as fair evidence that Ron Paul’s online base of support is not drawn from actual Republican party primary voters.

Absolutely right. Unless Ron Paul is in the primary, I actually will not vote in the Republican primary at all, although I've been a registered Republican for 25 years. If the Republican Party can only see fit to run and nominate opportunists like Romney, @$$holes like McCain, and fascists like Giuliani, I'm not voting Republican at all any more---not in the primaries or general elections.

Paul is a Libertarian, not a Republican. That’s why his supporters wouldn’t vote for a Republican. On the flip side, most Republicans vote vote for a Libertarian. That’s why, if Paul wants to run for President, he should do so as a Libertarian.

I don’t think bashing Ron Paul does anyone any good.

This is the GOP primary and myself personally I like his domestic views quite a bit.

His foreign policy views are disastrous though.

This notion that anyone outside the mainstream GOP is an anti-semite racist or evil is senseless. I would like to see political correctness purged from the GOP. Bush and his advisors have used it well enough already....to ill effect.

What is much more important right now is to stop social liberals from gaining control of the mess that Bush has created in the GOP.

That is the fight folks. Paul is almost irrelevant though if everything falls apart he will have a table at the ashes to be sure like all the other pieces.

I am a Tancredo man but being a realist I hope my homeboy Fred can make me feel better that he is going to be a real conservative and clean up the crap left by the ruling GOP now (yes...there are exceptions like Sessions etc)

I could vote for Ron Paul, but of course I have libertarian tendencies.

I was a Ron Paul supporter until he became a Alex Jones clone.

Perhaps people who read 1984 and actually understand it.

If this immigration bills passes, I will declare the country medically dead and therefore no longer worthy of the ‘lesser of two evils’ idea.

I will then be a full-on Constitutional or Libertarian Party supporter.
