People who root for ron paul prove that they are pathetically uninformed. Just plain uninformed. It sounds nice to be against the war and against the war on drugs. Yeah, that's all well and good. But it doesn't stop there. It goes all the way to Nut-bucket Land. But this guy is an anarchist - wants to do away with EVERYTHING. Doesn't want government. AT ALL. Doesn't want regulations. Would yank your Medicare, Social Security, Student Loans, the works - AWAY from you. Worships ayn rand. Useless. With no REAL grasp of reality. Why he should have been ANYWHERE near the reins of power is beyond me. And his fans are in lockstep with him. Proving their ignorance.

I used to think he was like the Harold Stassen of modern-day Presidential elections. Harold Stassen ran for President something like seven times, decades ago. Never got close. Actually became a national joke - so much of one I used to see him referenced in MAD Magazine - "sure, I'll believe that like I believe Harold Stassen will be President some day." ron paul is his rightful heir. Good Riddance to him, too. Go run for president of Somalia, ron. That's your kind of place.
