“Hmm. Makes a hell of a lot of sense. Maybe I’ll have another look at his candidacy. Not that I think he can win but his positions do resonate with a lot of what’s right here on FR.”

Oh he’s right on a lot of issues near and dear to me. It’s where he’s wrong that’ll get you killed.

Exactly! Broken clock, twice a day, yada yada. Even a lunatic walking down a street muttering to himself will occasionally say something that seems not only coherent, but downright ingenius. Then he's right back to muttering. Looking at one piece of writing and saying "wow, guess I'll support this guy!" is tantamount to saying "yeah, I know he's an axe-murdering sociopath with anger management issues, but I let him move into my apartment because he used a better cologne than anyone else who came in that day." You can find something decent about damned near anyone. The question is does that counter their fatal flaws?

Where Paul is concerned, I'd say no short piece of writing can counter the fact he's an isolationist loon with no more chance of garnering the nomination than you or I.

Maybe you should make a nice graphic or slogan: "Vote Ron if you want to die", "A vote for Ron is a vote for suicide", "Ron Paul, the Suicide Candidate"...

LOL.

Well said. That is the most succinct and correct description I have yet seen of the fatal flaw in Ron Paul's view of reality.
