21. But hey! Those "minuscule" sane points are so

Fkn, gdmd important, that, if left unchecked, they will destroy this country and maybe the planet...add to that an end to the drug wars and 0, we have a problem. 0 is doubling down on all these issues sailing this country's ship of fools right off the edge of the earth.

The question is; will Paul's near overwhelming bad side be seen by Independents and the majority of voters as outnumbering those incredibly important sane parts.

We are still in the land of lesser of evils meme and it now may become a triple edged sword.

Paul's loony side: Idiocy on civil rights...idiocy on safety nets...shortsighted idiocy on just about everything else.

Paul's sane side: Ending all wars, including the drug wars...ending the dastardly patriot act... a fairer broker in the Arab world and a few others.

Put these things on a scale.

We have to face reality...Ron Paul will be a difficult wall for 0 to overcome; if he is the nom, as will Romney, for, like 0, when after the primaries, he turns into a liberal candidate disavowing all his conservative stances , which he will as does 0 when elections roll around...

Loonier toons like Gingrich and his ilk will be gods gift and a shoo in for 0, as he will walk right over them. 0, more than any of them, understands the value of synthetic lubrication with Mittens, a rabbits breath behind.
