Like you, I often find his style and delivery unbearable (that may be due to the part of the country I'm in).

I also voted for him in the primaries, because logic demands one vote on issues, and not personalities.

The real reason he's not POTUS is because his views are (sadly) way out of step with the average American voter.

Guess that's one of the main reasons that I like him - I'm pretty far out of step with most of the sheople, too!! LOL

Sadly, you are probably correct. Even the following excerpt, which makes all the sense in the world, is probably out of step with our culture:

It is a simple fact of human experience that the tides of passion must begin to swell before the ability to handle those passions can develop. The formation of moral character occurs crucially during the years of maturation and struggle with such passions. The proposal that young children can be beneficially "informed" about and then manage sexual practices is at best utterly morally obtuse. Whatever the "liberationists" may claim for the child, what invariably occurs is exploitation.

The first and foremost component of sex-related education must be the family itself. The first thing that children can learn and ought to learn is not about physiology, but about what it means to be a mother or a father, and the connection between moral discipline and the love and tenderness that is shared within a family.

Once children are introduced to this understanding of true family life, their attention starts naturally to focus on their assumption of that role for themselves. Then, and only then, as the formation of their moral character approaches the maturity of adulthood, it becomes appropriate and fruitful to introduce them to the mysteries of the married state.

Even sadder is when people who agree with him bash him because they don't like his personality, or the fact that he dares to speak the truth even when one of "ours" is in office.

I voted for him in the primary and I've never heard his style or delivery--I've only read what he says. Maybe that helps.
