There are many reasons to think Ron Paul is a bottom feeder. He refuses to support a Constitutional amendment to protect normal, heterosexual marriage. He voted to turn the United States military into a San Francisco bath house by repealing DADT. He wants to see drugs and prostitution legalized. He thinks Islamo-Nazi Iran should have a nuclear weapon. He surrounds himself with lunatics like Cindy Sheehan's love slave, Screwy Lewy Rockwell. In general, there isn't a sewer RuPaul (H/T: Mark Levin) isn't too proud to hunt for food in.
Then, there's this. From CBS News:
***********************************
"Libertarian Congressman Ron Paul is breaking with many of his fellow Republicans - among them his son Rand - to support the creation of the planned Islamic cultural center near the former site of the World Trade Center that has come to be known as the 'ground zero mosque.'
In a statement decrying 'demagogy' around the issue, the former Republican presidential candidate wrote late last week that "the debate should have provided the conservative defenders of property rights with a perfect example of how the right to own property also protects the 1st Amendment rights of assembly and religion by supporting the building of the mosque.'
'Instead, we hear lip service given to the property rights position while demanding that the need to be 'sensitive' requires an all-out assault on the building of a mosque, several blocks from 'ground zero,' Paul continues.
He goes on to argue that 'the neo-conservatives' who demand continual war in the Middle East and Central Asia...never miss a chance to use hatred toward Muslims to rally support for the ill conceived preventative wars."

Yes, I know this is old news. No, I'm not breaking any new ground here. However, since Ol' Ru is running for President, this crap should be revisited. (Even Howard "YEAAAAAAAAH!" Dean thought this was a bad idea.)
I don't want to get involved in the technical legalities about whether or not this House of Hatred should or should not be built, since the developers don't seem to have the money for Lincoln Logs, let alone building a gazillion dollar insult. That was beaten to death last year and I don't feel like rehashing it. What I want to focus on is RuPaul's detestable attitude on the matter. (Which is eerirly similiar to Chariman Obama's and Nazi Pelosi's detestable attitude on the matter.)
The above snippet shows, once again, that RuPaul is NOT a Conservative, regardless of what his drug addict followers claim. He's basically an anarchist, and this little episode proves it.
Now, before we get started, I think it's appropriate to explain what I mean by anarchist. I'm not talking in this sense of a bomb-thowing V For Vendetta type. I'm talking about someone who believes they have the right to do what they please when they feel like doing it. That's what RuPaul is advocating here. This has nothing to do with "neo-conservative" war mongering or the religious rights of Muslims. (This is a bare-bones explanation of RuPaul's mentor Murray Rothbard's anarcho-capitalism, which basically states that society should allow individuals to do as they please as long as they can afford to do so.)
A Conservative doesn't believe in any of the above nonsense. A Conservative is a staunch defender of the individual and his rights, but the Conservative also believes in common sense and morality. For example, a Conservative would defend a bar owner's right to allow smoking in his bar, but a Conservative would fight tooth and nail to stop a strip club from opening next to an elementary school or a church. The Conservative fights for limited government, but never for anarchy. The Conservative also believes that while the individual has rights and those rights should be defended at all costs, the individual should use those rights in a responsible manner. In other words, the Conserative may very well want to give the social finger to the driver of a Smart Car with a "Obama 2012" bumper sticker, but he doesn't because he believes in a polite moral society.
Ladies and gentlemen, yes there's a fine line that often gets blurred when it comes to our rights, and I don't claim to have all the answers. But I will tell you this, I sure do understand our rights better than Ron Paul does.
Ping!
If he were elected and followed through on promises to eliminate the FED and slash 1.2 trillion from our indebtedness I would be happy.
Newtie and Mitty are phonies. Ron Paul is the real thing. With the ticket balanced with another Conservative it could win.
You can keep it, NEWT! :)
RonPaul, all for homosexuals and thus is NOT a conservative.
And that’s just one reason out of many.

Paul’s camp has upped the ante after releasing a video last week condemning Newt Gingrich as a serial flip-flopper; now they’ve gone after the party as a whole with a new ad that blasts the competition for failing to take the election seriously.
“What’s up with these sorry politicians?” asks an intense new 30-second clip released from Paul’s camp this week. “Lots of barks; when it’s show time, wimpy, like little Shih Tzus.”
It’s clear that the establishment is scared of Ron Paul, but aside from regulations and an exponentially growing Military Industrial Complex, Paul doesn’t seem scared of much. Like his latest video says, “Later, bureaucrats.”
Paul’s continuing surge in the polls is leaving his Republican competition in the dust, and as he picks up steam three weeks before the important Iowa caucuses begin, an increasingly powerful campaign can only help Congressman Ron Paul in his campaign for the presidency.
I don’t think you do understand our rights better than Ron Paul.
Our rights do not always make you warm and fuzzy.
That’s great if you don’t believe in little things like morals. As for me, I don’t believe in letting gays into the military. I believe in a Constitutional amendment to defend marriage from the Heathen Left. You know what else ? I don’t believe in legalizing drugs and prostitution.
Economics are vitally important, but what good is a strong economy if we end up turning into Sodom and Gamorrah ? Conservatism is much more than chanting “Smaller government! Lower taxes!”
Like I stated in the article, RuPaul is not a Conservative. Therefore, he’s not getting my vote.
Paul obviously should run in a 3rd party, he doesn’t fit in today’s GOP.
I don’t defend any of the candidates. They have paid shills to do that.

So, I take it you’re going along with the liberaltarian view of, “If it feels good, do it!” ?
Sorry, I believe in morals. This is why I’m a Conservative and RuPaul is not.
Bingo!
Ron Pauls gives bottom feeders a bad name!
Seeing how Newt Gingrich is leaving RuPaul in the dust, I’d have to say you’re not making much of a point.
Gingrich is not perfect, and quite frankly, he’s not getting my vote if Bachmann is still around when Florida gets to vote. However, if the choice came between RuPaul and Mitt Commie or RuPaul and Chairman Obama, I’d close my eyes and vote for RuPaul.
After I left the polling place, I’d start planning for 2016 and getting rid of the Liberaltarian.

Sure, Nobama, you can pick up your check from HQ.
The gay rhetoric doesn't hold up for most when it comes to voting on GIGANTIC GOVERNMENT/ECONOMIC/SPENDING ISSUES.
Ron would win over many voters if he just stood up at one of these so-called debates and said with a quirky grin:
"No I don't look like him or him or her..I am not any where near as pretty..Agreed! But someday when you suddenly realize you are getting pretty much the same old same out of Washington; flip flopping between parties, you might give someone like me a chance. Determination I have, what I say is what you get. And as you can see, I am still here: so I can't be all that ugly to everyone[winks]
Guaranteed Replay.
[rough version]
With his massive ego, that’s coming.
