That said, whats your view of the former Paul campaigner, the guy that was with him for at least a decade, and his story from yesterday here in the forum?

I think in his early involvement in politics, he was energetic and useful, good at building bridges among various factions. I think he got full of himself and thought, as some staffers occasionally do, that they are the actual congressman. When Dondero went off the Libertarian deep end, Ron Paul fired him, largely because no Republicans or Libertarians would work with him any more. Ron Paul was the last one to abandon him. His views on legalizing prostitution for our military certainly could not be squared with Ron Paul's own history as a flight surgeon. His ideas about legalizing drugs are very far from Ron Paul's decriminalization policy on lesser drugs. Dondero got involved in some state-level operations and promptly destroyed all of those as well while trying to gloryhound other folks' hard work. And that nutty language book he wrote is a complete joke and a scam.

Dondero once had a bright future as a staffer, perhaps even building up to becoming a congressman himself. He threw it all away, mostly over his own idiosyncrasies and personality issues.

Hmmm. Thanks for the insight.

You do realize your last sentence is how most of us view Ron Paul, right?
