This is written from a leftist's perspective but it has some good points to think about.

I always wonder how in the world leftists can write those things with a straight face. Republican corruption - what's the party that has a member of congress
reelected after having two people convicted of bribing him?
Right, right, Republican corruption. Hu'd imagine it.

It seems to me that Ron Paul is being positioned to go Independent and be a spoiler. He would be like the Ralph Nader, a joke except in certain close call States. I believe that is what the Left (and Paul in a fit of pique and ego mania) are working towards.

one cannot walk down 21st Avenue without seeing spray-painted Ron Paul signs (on public property, oddly enough). Such is the situation on many campuses, from Texas to Maine.
L Ron Paul's busy little horde of whackos is into vandalism too?

espouses a foreign policy that reeks of isolationism
Stinks of cut'n'run, treason and jihad-boot-licking to me. Stinks to high heaven.

I for one hope Ron Paul runs as an Independent. He will take the anti-war vote from the left.

I’d never vote for Ron Paul for President — I do think that he’s a good Congressman — but, I like having him in the race. He forces discussions that wouldn’t occur without him.

You hit on a key point, the things we agree with Paul on are Congressional responsibility items, like budgetary issues. The main role of the President is Commander in Chief of the military- which puts Paul right in the responsibility range of the issues we disagree with him the most and takes him out of the role we agree with him on.

Every strict constitutionalist candidate in the last three elections has been the new “Ralph Nader for the right”.

Can’t we take part of Gaza and make it a Paulestinian State? Seems Ron and his flock would be right at home there.

His appearances on the Colbert Report, and the constant fawning praise he receives from Bill Maher, show that his popularity is largely youth liberal-
oriented.Edited for accuracy. ;)
