People are horrified because DOCTOR Paul speaks truth and cuts through the statist BS to the heart of Conservatism. This is why he was the winner on the CPAC straw poll for President, as Reagan was before him. He is a loyal Republican and speaks for millions. Weak minded are intimidated and it is what ails us in this dieing party.
In my years at FR, I've seen a few delusional rants here.
I have to admit that is by far the most delusional one I've ever seen. I sincerely hope you get a life. Soon.
ROTFLMAO. Ron Paul is a cranky Bircher/Liebertarian, NOT a conservative or a loyal Republican as you claim. In fact, Ron Paul is a RINO in the true meaning of the word: Republican In Name Only.
His win at CPAC cannot be compared to Reagan's win, when the vote was authentic and meant something, but you go ahead and think so if it makes you feel better.
CPAC 2010 was a joke. Between the GOProud/Log Cabin poofters and the Paulbot attendees, the fringe ruled. Ron Paul won the straw vote because 48% of the cpac voters were students. True conservatives either didn't vote or didn't attend at all. An attendee's description of the 'typical' Paul supporter:
Ron Paul supporters remind me of Basij militants in Iran. Ignorant, mentally challenged, thuggish & obsessive with their cult leader.
Or, maybe just young and naive.
