You can bash the GOP all you want, I can even help, but as a Conservative, I hate Libertarians, or as I more accurately call them, anarchists. However, Ron Paul makes for a very poor libertarian, and we all know he will never be mistaken for a Conservative.

Question:
Why do self described libertarians support Ron Paul?

Answer: They are participants of a cult, not an ideology.

And note that when Paul had a staff of twelve putting out his $1 million/year newsletter, the key staffers didn't call themselves Libertarians. They were 'paleoLibertarians.' That mean Libertarian without the pot smokers, but adding the neo-Nazis, the KKK, the conspiracy theorists, the militia, the racists, the anti-Semites, the One World Order-ers, and other delightful segments that Paul's staff felt just weren't getting an adequate say in the Libertarian party.
