Ron Paul supporters have been harshly criticized on this forum. OK, I agree that some of them are a little bit nutty. Just about every far-right organization has endorsed Paul. They include militia members, unreconstructed neo-confederates, Conspiracy theorists, Birchers, anti-tax activists, Christian Reconstructionists, opponents of the CFR and the Federal reserve, anti-Black Helicopter conservatives, supporters of the Gold Standard, anti-immigration groups, etc.
But one should accept that many of Paul's supporters are true patriots. They are the most outspoken opponents of the New World Order. They want the US out of the UN. They want the Southern border closed. They are opponents of big government and want to see the income tax eliminated. They defend Southern heritage and Western civilization, and are opposed to multiculturalism. They include some of those who supported Senator Goldwater in 1964, Governor Reagan in 1966, and George Wallace in 1968.
Many of the Paul supporters will be voting for Hitlery when Paul fades back into the Texas scrub.
What I like the most about Ron Paul is that he is the only GOP candidate who would, if elected, have the courage to tell us the truth about what’s going on at Area 51.

Some might be, and some definitely are not. Silly question, since “ron paul supporter” is not a fungible commodity.
Good one.
Ha!
I believe the real question is ... can Ron Paul supporters find enough time in their harried schedule of doobies and panty-raids to actually cast a vote?
It never ceases to amaze me how much attention a group of stoned college kids - with nothing better to do than spam internet polls between bong hits - can get if they make noise.
This is just silly.

It does Paul no good when his supporters pick up the tactics of the Ross Perot and Lyndon LaRouche crowds.
I have a roll of tin foil for you! Cheap! This is the good stuff made in the fifties!
No doubt some are - Ron Paul gets a bum rap on FR, but a lot of it is his own damn fault. If he directed a significant fraction of the energy he puts into his strange pacifism ideas to the REST of his platform (which is otherwise exclusively ultra-conservative), I wouldn’t feel so bad. His campaign has been truly aggravating for myself (having sympathies for, bordering on a desire to join, the JBS) to watch.
Love it! LOL
All those far-right supporters are far outnumbered by the nutroots. I promise you one thing....when Paul loses the nomination in a landslide, most of those Paul voters will vote for Hillary Clinton. Some will vote third party like the Libertarians, but most will vote for the Democrats.
The paulbearers may be too stoned to read your tag line or understand satire!

I think every Ron Paul supporter who is interviewed for TV, who writes a letter to the editor, or writes in a blog needs to make it very clear that we will NOT be supporting the GOP candidate if it is not Ron Paul.
No other candidate has the support that is not willing to hold their nose and vote the lesser of two evils to beat Hillary except Ron Paul....
We will write Ron Paul in, but no other candidate deserves our vote....
if they do not give RP an equal playing field for the nomination, then he will run as a third party and/or support a third party candidate...
I sure as hell am not going to vote for any of the other Republicans. I may see who is running Green or possibly Democrat if it isn't Hillary.
