That's not to say that Ron Paul doesn't have his strong points. He is committed to smaller government, slashing spending, liberty, and the Constitution.

Ron Paul voted FOR the Islamic Lawmaker's House resolution respecting the Islamic month long celebration of Ramadan.

How does it fit in with his stance on small government (he normally votes against symbolic votes, regardless of how meaningless they are) and the Constitutional role for Congress?

You can argue that's how the world should work, but it's not how the world does work. You can't simply undo decades of history and culture, with almost no support for doing so in your own party, the opposing party, or from the general population.

Perhaps the best, most cogent, line in the entire post.

For me it’s simple. He is completely disconnected with reality.

If you knock Ron Paul, you'll often have hordes of social misfits making obnoxious comments, spamming your polls, touting conspiracy theories, insulting conservatives in general, and doing everything possible to make nuisances of themselves.

The pot heads living in Moms basement tend to have lots of time on their hands for that sort of thing. ;~))

Why So Many Conservatives Don't Like Ron Paul

That’s harsh, half the people who know him like him. Hillary doesn’t do much better.

****************

"I would have trouble arguing that he's [GWB]been a Constitutional President and once you violate the Constitution and be proven to do that I think these people should be removed from office."

****************

Right now we don't have concentration camps, but like you have pointed out, the authority has been given so that concentration camps can come without Habeas Corpus. I have heard the argument that there is nothing else left in the Bill of Rights. If they can lock you up, what good is freedom of speech or what good is a gun? That is now part of the books, part of the law."

****************

If you understand what motivates suicide terrorism, you'll realize it's not radical Islam.

****************

A lot fewer lives died on 9/11 than they do in less than a month on our highways (me-Pearl Harbor Only One Month of 1941 Traffic Deaths)

****************

Now, as far as fleeting enemies go, yes. If there's an imminent attack on us. We've never had that happen in 220 years

****************

That was no country...That was 19 thugs (9.11 Terrorists). That had nothing to do with a country

****************

I’m saying we should take our marching orders from our Constitution….We’ve committed the invasion of this war, and it’s illegal under international law

****************

We have money that is created out of thin air. And from an Austrian viewpoint this inevitably leads to over-investment, over-capacity, speculation, excessive debt and mal-distribution of wealth Cliches about supporting the troops are designed to distract from failed policies, policies promoted by powerful special interests that benefit from war,

****************

After Vietnam that did not happen [a slaughterhouse], which was what was predicted; we're trading partners and they're capitalistic now, more so than ever before! So, there's reason to be pessimistic.

****************

The NAFTA Superhighway. And uh… They’re talking about the “ Omero” as a currency. It’s the early stages… It’s exactly what happened in the early stages of the European Union.

Who’s responsible -- who’s behind that?
RP: Those people who are really in charge of our government.

****************

The American people didn't go in. A few people advising this administration, a small number of people called the neoconservative hijacked our foreign policy. They're responsible, not the American people. They're not responsible. We shouldn't punish them

Would also add that’s he doesn’t seem to be a social conservative, which would tend to turn off the large amount of conservatives who are.

Ron Paul would have to declare himself dictator for life to even attempt to do what he promises.

Ron Paul as the nominee will guarantee President Hillary, and Ron Paul as President will almost guarantee another 9/11 attack, or worse.

So he's being praised for that, and simultaneously damned for not embracing the changes in the federal government over the last 70 years. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?

... most of the “right-wing” bloggers polled are no doubt semi-literate authoritarians who support the anti-American Trotskyite imperial foreign policy of Hillary Clinton and Dick Cheney ...

there’s the answer.

hope this helps.

Well maybe it because he is a complete lunatic? Like this

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1908977/posts

From the article Paul said:

“we currently ... cannot even afford to pay [for] the war or our welfare system without borrowing nearly three billion dollars a day from foreigners, a lot of it coming from China.”

Let do the math. $3,000,000,000 times 365 days = $1,095,000,000,000,000 or 1.95 quadrillion dollars a year Federal Deficit!

The entire Federal Budget is $3 Trillion dollars.

It is this sort or reckless, divorced from reality rhetoric that indicates that not only is Dr Paul not fit to be President, he not even fit for the job he NOW has.

Putting your hands over your ears and screaming “NO NO NO NO NO NO” doesn’t change Paul’s lack of anything resembling a grip on reality into reasoned statesmanship.

Not only is Dr Paul mentally unfit to be President, he is mentally unfit for the job he NOW holds in the Congress
