Failure to recognize that is a sign of a narrow mind.
I don't let organizational political ratings guide my thinking about any of these people.
Dr. Paul is a nut case ~ Romney isn't. He cold-bloodedly synthesized whatever policy positions he thought might trick the broad masses. That makes him a sociopath.
I agree that Romney is cold-blooded and that Ron Paul is a nut case.
However, I also know that Paul is a libertarian, and that a libertarian will default to a the notion that a woman should be in control of her own body.
I don’t, therefore, think those rankings are accidental.
