Just what is it about Ron Paul that attracts these nuts?

[jonrick46]

I don’t call him Ron Pol Pot for nothing.

[Ann Archy]

uh....because a NUT KNOWS other NUTS.

[crz]

It really is a shame that there are so many ignorant on the constitution. A nation of uneducated ignorant liberal morons.

"Just what is it about Ron Paul that attracts these nuts?"

Could it be that your're simply more attuned to noticing nuts?

[GlockThe Vote]

I’m not a nut - and agree with maybe 60% of what he stands for - but the 60% he stands for is so important to correct in our nation - that i support him for POTUS.

Freedom - Fiscal Responsibility - End the Fed

I'll take "Questions Which Answer Themselves" for $500, Alex."

[little jeremiah]

Because he’s a libertarian. GlocktheVote said he supported RP because of RP’s stand on “domestic issues” and “civil rights”. Code words for dope, porn, prostitution and faggot “rights”. “Civil rights” can only mean faggotry, since blacks can sit in the front of the bus and women can vote.

Look up "cutting the Gordian knot." Ron Paul offers simple black-and-white solutions, and his supporters like that simplicity. They think he's going to "solve problems" for once and for all that will probably always be with us.

I'm not so sure about Ron Paul being the "earmark king" or a big spender, though. I'd want to see more evidence. The National Taxpayers Union has consistently given him A-ratings and -- for the last dozen years scores in the 80s or 90s.

That doesn't mean that he's sane or a good candidate for president, but it does suggest that some skepticism is in order when people call him a big spender. Ron Paul's own response to the earmarks' charge would probably be that he doesn't want to spend the money, but if it's spent he wants to know where it's going and he wants his district to get a slice.
