And I dont get his supporters either. If he does have a good message, its lost in all the stupidity of the folks who like him.
From all accounts he has one of the most consistent voting records in politics so I'm not sure how you come to the conclusion that he is "erratic" but I agree that the "truthers" etc. aren't helping his cause. I like a lot of what the man says. I like a lot of what Obama says, and several others... Long as it's not Clinton or Guilani.. I can't stand those two. I cringe thinking about either as president.
I also have to ask, though I don't consider myself a dyed in the wool Ron Paul Supporter (I think we could do worse), do you actually know any first hand? I'd wager I'm the closest thing you got? Read a lot of my past posts on various subjects and tell me honestly if you think I'm a "nutjob"?
I think every politician has their "loony" groups. I don't think it's just Paul, hell the NRA is rife with nutjobs and they are one of the biggest special interest groups out there...
