They forgot two major groups in that coalition:

• Conspiracy theorists
• Neo nazis

Convenient how they always leave those two groups out.

Mostly Potheads and those who believe we can put a sack over our head and all the world’s problems will disappear. Go Newt! You are our Obi-Wan-Kanobi, our only hope.

[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

They forgot:

#. Liberal Demcorats who are calling conservative talk shows and replying to articles on the Internet CLAIMING to be conservatives/right-wingers who really want change to help the country, but who are really looking for a third party to split the vote so that Obammie the Commie wins again.

I can’t remember exactly who remarked that Ron Paul would be a *dangerous* president, but I certainly agree with the statement.

Pray and fast for our nation in 2012.

But but but Ron Paul is the only person who can save us, the only one who knows the Constitution because he built a sophisticated time machine and went back a gave it to the founding fathers after spending months teaching them what it all would mean and how America should be run forever.

I know this because I saw it in a dream after 6 bong hits, 26 Twinkies and a bowl of three day old Ramen noodles.

GO RON P....

Um...

Yo dude what's his last name again...

Oh, look nachos...

[Sacajaweau]

Why are these stupid....yes stupid people...even considering Paul. He’s a sicko. Do they think this election process is a joke? Apparently so.

[Dr. Thorne]

The leftist media support Ron Paul for the GOP candidate because they know he will destroy the Republican Party.

[Dusty Road]

[Roy Baty]

Other groups that love Ron Paul:

Anti-Semites
Code Pinkos
conservative atheists

[Fresh Wind]

What about Iranian mullahs and ayatollahs?
What about Islamic terrorists?

They must support Paul because he is on their side, or at least he excuses their actions, which is essentially the same thing.

The authors are idiots. Ron Paul supporters are 1960s hippy throwbacks and Islamo-fascists, not homeschoolers and small farmers.

Yeah. Those homeschoolers are EVIL people who dare to try to give their kids the decent education the “conservatives” like President W Bush tried to deny with his and Ted Kennedy’s No Child Left Educated plan. How dare they! Why, W was a conservative!

Listing homeschoolers at the top of a Paultard list is ridiculous. Of everyone in our homeschool group, some of whom live in Ron Paul’s district, he is the *least* popular candidate. But why worry about reality when trying to denigrate an entire group? Or groups. I have a suspicion a majority of small farmers think Paul is an idiot and the percentage of small farmers in the Paultard camp is less than 1%. Growing veggies in your backyard or weed in a hothouse does not make someone a “small farmer.”

If the Republican establishment wants more support from homeschoolers, maybe they should actually support ideas where, oh, I don’t know, kids’ educations are put ahead of federal government control of local schools. Maybe if the Republican Party supported more small government where the government really is too big, they’d get more support from small farmers as well.

In the meantime, real live *conservatives* jump from candidate to candidate because the GOP establishment just can’t stop pushing Romney onto us. Since we won’t accept Democrat Romney, we must all be Paultards. I’m shocked they didn’t list anyone who owns a firearm, doesn’t want government control of healthcare and goes to church as top Paultards. I think the GOP Establishment is as afraid of us “clinging to our guns and religion” as Obama, which is why they set us up to look like we support a fool like Paul when we don’t really like anybody they’ve pitched. I’m leaning to Santorum, but with reservations.

“Why are these stupid....yes stupid people...even considering Paul. He’s a sicko. Do they think this election process is a joke? Apparently so.”

Are you so easily manipulated that you actually believe the groups listed are the ones supporting Paul? Where are their studies showing the homeschoolers and small farmers support this retard? Ron Paul’s own website lists his supporters as 25% Republican and 75% other parties/ independent.

The homeschoolers and small farmers are certainly helping lead the charge against Romney. Gee, I wonder why they would be included in a list of people supporting a known crackpot.

The people supporting Paul are retards. The readers of this article who actually believe the groups listed are his supporters are equally as stupid.

"The leftist media support Ron Paul for the GOP candidate because they know he will destroy the Republican Party."

The RNC is doing a bang-up job of that all by themselves.
