His supporters point out that he is the *only* candidate calling for these logical, conservative, and constitutional things.

Baloney. Associating with Code Pink is not conservative nor does it make someone "constitutional" or "logical" - Associating with 9/11 truth is not conservative nor does it make someone "constitutional" or "logical" - nor is endorsing and going out on the stump to aggressively campaign for a well-known Code Pink Activist, 9/11 truther, individual who went overseas to a military base and asked troops to abandon their posts, etc. a sign of being conservative or "constitutional" nor is it a sign of them being "logical." Saying that Israel set up Hamas is not conservative nor does it make someone "constutional" or sound "logical." Making absurd statements that the U.S. could have simply 'bought' all the slaves and prevented the Civil War does not make him conservative, "constitutional", or logical. Saying that a Yale Fraternity is controlled by the Trilateral Commission is not conservative, "constitutional" and certainly not logical. Saying that "If I were Iranian I'd want the bomb" is not logical, conservative, or "constitutional" - we aren't interested in what he would want if he were Iranian we are interested in what he would want as an American. Repeated appearances on the Alex Jones show do not make him "constitutional", conservative, or logical. Endorsing Cynthia McKinney is not evidence of him being conservative, "constitutional" or logical. Etc, etc, etc, etc...one could probably continue the length of a book with this silliness.

That's what clear thinking people have a problem with - not that he's an alleged "constitutionalist." It is disengenious for you to pretend you don't know this after it has been said repeatedly and just keep on posting the same cliche boilerplate talking points you are getting from your scripts. Learn to think for yourself. Your conduct is that of a personality cult.

End the Patriot Act laws that are NEVER used against terrorists, only against American citizens not implicated in any way with terrorists or terrorism.

Regardless of the overall debate over the Patriot Act, that is an obviously inaccurate statement.

Ron Paul supports a lot of things that are wacky and not at all conservative. That in no way, however, detracts from the fact that he is also the only even-remotely-prominent candidate who is promoting the points listed by yefragetuwrabrumuy, most of which a Constitutionalist conservative should unequivocally support. That's what clear thinking people have a problem with - not that he's an alleged "constitutionalist."

If Republican candidates don't want to lose the votes of small-government conservatives to Ron Paul, they should start acting like small-government conservatives. Whether or not the threat of losing the votes of conservative voters would be enough of an enticement to make any other candidates support the Constitution, I can't think of what other incentive might be more effective.
