He's John Murtha light, The pride of the libertine party.
Hack.
Next question.
It depends on the issue. I agree with him on cutting the budget and perhaps a couple other things. But on many topics he is definitely insane and sometimes dangerous. Sadly, he and Romney are the only ones on the VA ballot. If things don’t change I just may not vote at all... :-(

I think he’s a tar baby used by the GOP to help guarantee a RINO nomination.
Crazy old Uncle Ron has been shut away in the attic, and a few seriously challenging ideas have been fermenting in his brain all that time.
While he manages to make sense about as often as I do (maybe even more), still, his isolationist view of the world, a “Fortress America”, is not a realistic response to the huge and frankly imperfect storm that is gathering in the rest of the world, one that the United States cannot avoid being a part of.
But he is exactly right in demanding that the elected officials return to a serious execution of the duties of office by following the Constitution. Some people have been studying the Constitution for years, looking for loopholes, and finding them, proceed to vast excesses in creating constructs that defy all logic, common sense, and historic usage.
Too bad we cannot have two presidents, one for the conduct of internal policies in America, and one for the international relations.
Oh, wait, we already have that. Barack Hussein Hussein, to carry out the oppression on the home front, and Hillary Rodham Rodham, to carry out the international intrigue and foment revolution everywhere.
Paul is a tool of the left - he helps them greatly - they love him.
Hack Yes. Hero. No.
I’m going with fruitcake.
A wack....O !
Umm. It's not a case of 'several.' Race was almost like a Tourettes issue with him for period of about two decades. His newsletters would be talking about finances (always: BUY GOLD!), then race, then finances (BUY GOLD!):
And the media hasn't really caught on to what was really written in his newsletter yet. Not just 'blacks run fast when they steal your purse," which is what we've been hearing, but, if you want an example:
And he wasn't just talking about race. He was telling militas how to avoid government wiretaps and how to select their members:
Warning us about how the Massad may have been behind the first World Trade Center bombing (BUY GOLD!):
Warning us about the government disinformation campaign about the dangers of crack cocaine:
And, of, course, after those d*mn Trilateralists:
And please (please!) don't get him started on Martin Luther King. It wasn't an issue if he couldn't take some ad hominen shot at Martin Luther King.
he’s a mash up of Lyndon Larouche and Pat Paulsen.

Ron Paul is not anti-Semitic but is anti-Israel, former aide says
‘He wishes the Israeli state did not exist at all,’ says former senior aide; ‘He has zero credibility and should not be taken seriously,’ Paul camp responds.

Republican presidential candidate hopeful Ron Paul supports calls for the abolishment of Israel as a Jewish state, and the return of it, in its entirety, to the Arabs, though he is not an anti-Semite, Eric Dondero, a former senior aide of the libertarian Texan congressman, wrote in a blog, on Monday.
“He wishes the Israeli state did not exist at all,” Dondero wrote in his blog on RightWing News “His view is that Israel is more trouble than it is worth, specifically to the America taxpayer.”

“He sides with the Palestinians, and supports their calls for the abolishment of the Jewish state, and the return of Israel, all of it, to the Arabs.”
“Eric Dondero is a disgruntled former staffer who was fired for performance issues,” CBS news quoted Paul spokesman Jesse Benton’s response to the column. “He has zero credibility and should not be taken seriously.”
A recent Public Policy Polling telephone survey of 597 likely Republican caucus voters in Iowa found Paul leading with 23 percent of the vote, followed by 20 percent for former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney and 14 percent for Gingrich, making Paul the leading candidate in the Republican race for the White House.
Paul’s views on Israel are already known to many. These views led the Republican Jewish Coalition, a organization of Jewish Republicans to exclude the Texan congressman from a debate they held in the beginning of December, explaining ,” there is no reason “to allow Paul to pretend he is anything but an extremist who is far outside of the mainstream, especially when it comes to issues concerning the U.S.-Israel alliance.”
