What specific policy positions of Paul's do you think make him a lunatic?
I joined this site recently and did not really support any specific candidate...but the more I read these anti-Paul posts, the more unimpressed with I am with those posting them...a lot of name-calling...admittedly some funny barbs at Paul...but not a lot of deep-thinking criticism of his positions from what I've seen
How about the elimination of the CIA and FBI?
Or is that a sane and reasonable position?

Ron Paul is a political irrelevancy at this point - and, his foreign policy positions are so infantile as to not require any intellectual response. We’ve been arguing with liberals and Democrats, each of whom hold foreign policy positions IDENTICAL to that of Ron Paul, for the better part of 5 or 6 years ... we all know the arguments by now, and we’ve already picked sides.
At this point - you’re either a hawk or a dove ... and nobody convincing anyone of anything ... so - we take shots at Paul for our own amusement, and to yank the chain of his dozen or so supporters.
Come November 2008, the candidacy of Ron Paul will be but a distant memory ...

You shouldn't suppose that asking for deep-thinking criticism will cause it to be offered. Believe me, I've tried. The Ron Paul hate threads are "battle of the bumper stickers" pretty much from beginning to end.
