As Dondero pointed out, “Ron Paul is only attracting support from the leftwing side of the libertarian spectrum, virtually none of whom are Republicans.”

Which is really odd when you consider that Paul is pro-life, and the left side of the libertarians is usually as militantly pro-choice as the most liberal Democrat. I think it shows the degree to which the militant anti-war left has wedded itself to the Paul campaign as a Trojan horse to try and screw up the Republicans. You really think any of the Code Pinko/Troofer types that walk around their anti-war rallies with "Ron Paul 2008" signs give a damn about Constitutional government or the gold standard? All they hear is "bring the troops home now."

This, to me, is the sad thing about Ron Paul. I don't think the guy's a kook. I like his constant Quixotic fights for constitutional small government, and I agree with many of his domestic positions (though I wish he'd be clearer and more concrete in his positions on his website). But none of that matters because his foreign policy is somewhere between naive and suicidal.

They don't want him to win the election, just screw up the GOP.

My thoughts exactly.
