Ron Paul supporters tend to ape Jim Jones followers.
Where’s the Wylers?
Third party candidate followers sometimes get that accusation leveled at them. Look, I don’t think many of us are thrilled with what our side is doing at times. It can be very frustrating. Then you have to ask yourself what you want to do about it. Some people including myself have had to go third party.
I knew Bush was going to usher in a massive amount of illegal immigrants praising them every step of the way. I knew he was going to throw money a the Department of Education (doubling it in less than four years). I knew he was going to spend big as in a prescription plan for seniors. This drove me to distraction and I bailed in 2000.
Give me a solid conservative candidate and I’ll back him. Otherwise I may find someone else whose negatives are less than the main candidate’s.
That year you could have safely said both Republican and third party candidate supporters were sipping a bit of coolaide IMO.
