I’m his base and I’m not loonie

I don't think you are. I believe Paul's base comes from three very different groups:

• Traditional conservatives who are desparate for a return to 100% pure core values. (I would consider you, Xenalite and a few others in this category) While I admire your intentions, I believe that you are being led off a cliff by Paul who is using the Constitution as a Pied Piper flute.
  
• Those who are afraid of some CFR/TriLateral/NeoCon conspiracy to control the world, or worse, 9/11Truthers. (hopefully not to many here, but sometimes I wonder).
• Liberals who either like Paul's position on the WOT & Iraq or HSW types who see it as a way to split our side, especially with the hope that Paul could go third party.

You don’t know what you’re talking about. I know Ron. I’m on a first name basis with him. He was my Congressman from 1997 to 2002 and then they moved his congressional district closer to the coast. The district he represents is one of the most conservative in the country. He wins everytime in a landslide.

Very good and accurate synopsis.
