The real question that the Ron Paul candidacy poses for Democrats

[Leopolds Ghost]

139. Plus, keep in mind lots of Anonymous are or were Ron Paul supporters.

Not the ones in the Occupy trenches, those are more left libertarian.

But it does give them the "cred" to be just about the only faction of
the right involved in Occupy that I've seen, with Ron Paul tents and
so-forth. The supposedly civil libertarian Tea Party folks have been
noticeably unwilling to associate with any facet of Occupy.

Is there any faction of the conservatives (non racist) that populists should
reach out to as part of Occupy? That is how a lot of people were persuaded
to vote for Obama back when Obama was the anti-war candidate -- disaffected
Main Street Republicans who were sick of Bush. Are the Tea Party folks
legitimately disaffected (self-styled) Constitutionalists or are they purely
an astroturfed anti-Obama movement? Keep in mind Occupy is opposed
to electioneering on general principle (in part because the system is broken)
so this may be a legitimate question.
