“As for everyone else, Ron Paul won 1,305 votes, a number that many people thought might be higher until it turned out that a lot of the very vocal Paul fans wandering around the ISU campus were from out of state.”

That’s not very smart... At least Romney drew his supporters from in-state so they could vote. Shipping in a bunch of folks to an event who can’t even vote in the event is as backwards minded as can be - but seems just about right for a lot of the Paul supporters I’ve seen posting here.

Yes, just as Ron Paul and his 1 percenters lecture the Republican Party on losing its way, there are about a half a dozen Ron Paulistineans who attack FReepers for not keeping Jim Robinson’s site a conservative one (i.e., letting them define the Constitution and this site). This from blatant Libertarians who don’t see the harm in al Qaeda and who have no problem with Ron Paul courting and cavorting with Gays, dope smokers, Nazis, Skin Heads, Holocaust deniers, Truthers, Buchananites, Birchers, and other assorted fringe groups. That’s just a coincidence beyond his control, they tell us. They really think the tail should wag the dog and they’ll be taking over the Republican Party. In fact, these folks will do what they always do. They’ll ride off in a huff and say there is no difference between Hillary and any of the Republicans.
