I have a family member who is a big Ron Paul supporter. His Facebook avatar is the anarchists symbol. Love the cousin, but recognize he is a Looney Tune on politics.
Quite frankly I agree with Paul on some issues but his nutty followers are a real turn-off.
Your blind allegiance makes you ignore facts? Paul was one of 3 Republicans to vote for it.

Even 33 Dems voted against this tax hike stunt by Pelosi but Paul and two others joined with the majority of Dems on this.
I call bullshit on this one.
They guys who sits next to me typifies Paulhroids. He loves Ron Paul and Alex Jones. He relentlessly proselytizes both. I went off on him Friday after he pushed too far. Like your local liberal, Paulhriods cannot help themselves by echoing their wacked out views to everyone, even at work. Worse is the fact that Ron Paul's Paulhriods are dangerous. I would not want anyone of them behind me, anywhere. When you start questioning Paulhroids on their core non-beliefs, you realize that they ARE anarchists. I cannot repeat some of the things this Paulhroid next to me has said about Gabby Giffords, the Obamas and others.
Paulhroids are dangerous both mentally and physically.
You assume that Pakistan didn’t know.
NRO:
Final tally: 234-188.
20 Democrats voted no.
3 Republicans voted yes.
The three Republicans were Ron Paul, Walter Jones, and Jimmy Duncan.
I guess this is not really pandering:
Political Grapevine:
Pet Projects
Texas congressman and Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul — who is campaigning as a critic of congressional overspending — has revealed that he is requesting $400 million worth of earmarks this year.
The Wall Street Journal reports Paul’s office says those requests include $8 million for the marketing of wild American shrimp and $2.3 million to pay for research into shrimp fishing.
No...I was playing the advocate. They have said they didn’t know and we have said we didn’t tell them.
Second source:
Houston Chronicle, Ron Paul:
...leads the Houston-area delegation in the number of earmarks, or special funding requests, that he is seeking for his district. He is trying to nab public money for 65 projects, such as marketing wild shrimp and renovating the old movie theater in Edna that closed in 1977 — neither of which is envisioned in the Constitution as an essential government function.
The rationale that Paulhroids have for why Ron Paul accepts pork money is so convoluted, I will not try to explain.
Their rationale for pork is similar to the rationale they used when he co-sponsored T-Boone’s ‘green car’ boondogle recently- it is just returning money to the taxpayer...
Yea right.. like welfare is returning money to the taxpayer..
It is just another redistribution scheme giving more power to the government for whatever social engineering program they are trying at the time. “Reward”(sic) people for government approved behavior.
So how do you explain LRon’s unwillingness to take out bin Laden as well as his recent pro amnesty comments?
sigh.....these Ron Paul threads are not as busy as they used to be. We are victims of our own success I suppose.
