You must be scitzo. How can you defend that idiot Paul, and support Fred Thompson at the same time?

Because I'm a libertarian and Thompson is the closest thing to a libertarian running whose foreign policy is acceptable to me. If Thompson wins the nomination, Paul fans will turn out for him due to his strong support for federalism.

I'm pretty sure GWB and Triple E are fans of Thompson too. The people who are most vocally anti-Paul are the liberal/moderate pro-Rudy douchebags like Michael Medved.

Using your illogic, one would also conclude that the list would include, me, the anti-Paultard crew here on Freerepublic, and the Founder of this website, who has some really stinging things to say about your libertarian suicide king Ron Paul AND JulieAnnie.

It's obvious that the head bone is connected to the ass bone, because being anti-suicide, aka anti-Ron Paul IS NOT equal to pro-Rudy.

Why don't you defend libertarian domestic policy when it is justified. Defending Ron Paul on Freerepublic is counter productive to "libertarians" who have FR accounts.

If Thompson wins the nomination, Paul fans will turn out for him due to his strong support for federalism.

Not only that. If in the primaries it looks like Paul can't stop Rudy and Fred can...most current Paul supporters will support any other candidate in the remaining big State primaries who can...Fred...even Romney. First priority for any conservative is to STOP RUDY.

I'm pretty sure GWB and Triple E are fans of Thompson too.

I can't speak for EEE but this is how I expect my vote to turn out.

My primary is a very late one in an all-Red state.

If RP is a contender with any chance at the nomination, I vote for him. If he's already dropped out or has no chance, I won't vote for him. Chances are, he'll drop out if it's hopeless after SC or FL.
If Rudi is out of the race, I pick either Fred or Mitt, whichever I like the most after the campaign season, the main objective being to beat Hitlery.
If Rudi is still viable and might get the nomination, I vote for any candidate who looks like they can keep the nomination away from him, keeping in mind that I should vote for the one who can win my states' delegates and add to the anti-Rudi delegate count. Probably Mitt or Fred, I guess, but I'd vote for any of them except Rudi. Including McCain and Huckabee who I don't like much.

So, for all I post about Ron Paul, I'm not that likely to get to vote for him anyway.
