12. Those two things go hand in hand

I don't need to acknowledge his "strengths" because his assholery makes any positive aspect irrelevant. It's like saying I need to acknowledge the KKK isn't that bad because they get together and pick up trash on the highway for one day out of the year. It's like saying I need to acknowledge a broke clock is right twice per day. I don't need to do anything of the sort. It's completely counterproductive to the overall goal.

I don't mean to attack you personally, but I'm getting more than just a little tired of hearing, "yes Ron Paul is bad, but what about..." I don't give a shit. Ron Paul's ideology is toxic and all or most of it is built on Ayn Rand pseudo-philosophic bullshit. As if that weren't bad enough the man is the worst sort of bigot. So even if I do happen to agree with him on a very small minority of positions, inevitably he gets to those positions for the wrong reasons.

I can't think of a single Republican member of congress who doesn't have a small number of positions that I might happen to agree with. I don't need to acknowledge their "strengths" either.

Fuck Ron Paul.
