“Well this is a conservative site, and in the past, third party anarchist types seemed to show up at elections to try and take votes away from competitive Republican candidates to help Democrats get elected and it is good to keep an eye on everything.”
Ron Paul is neither third party, nor anarchist.
He runs as a Republican, that is true, but he will not be the won who wins the primaries.
At that point the libertarian leaning folks start to do the voting down the black hole behavior.
I seemed to have read it here on FR every election as they try to recruit others to do the same here.
