As entertaining as the threads are, I have to agree with you there.
After all, Ron Paul has lots of support on DU and Daily KOS. Let the Paulies go there for their daily worship sessions. They'd really be more comfortable among those folks.
I want to watch the Paul supporters tell the KOSsacks that the EPA has to go if we are to become energy independent.
In my opinion the threads are useful in focusing on what we value in choosing who we want to represent us. I am not afraid of a person choosing Ron Paul after reading the debate we have on FR. At least they are getting both sides.
Libertarian ideas are seductive. They appeal to many and darn it, they just sound right! Then reality hits one in the face and one realizes to have any impact, one’s candidate must be elected by the great unwashed middle.
I used to be a Libertarian in the worst way. I got better.
