I have certainly supported some of the ideas Ron Paul has championed in the past, and some aspects of the libertarian point of view. While I'm not "insane", there is nothing to defend in Ron Paul's comment. Its just insensitive, stupid, and completely wrong, and reflects very badly on Mr. Paul. He should be ashamed of himself, and if he had any honor or common sense he'd promptly apologize and retract his idiotic comment.
I can't imagine anybody but some troll would try to defend such an indefensible and stupid comment.
At this point, the kindest thing I, or anyone, can say about Ron Paul is that I hope his family make sure he keeps his neurologist appointments and takes his Aricept.
There is no perfect candidate right?
Thanks for the response
