You are right. The position of un-official FR Spam Monkey is being capably filled by me. Although I am pro-war, I think I am doing a good enough job in defending some of Paul's better qualities....pro borders, pro life, great record on taxes....

Problem for Ron Paul supporters is they are going to have to make a choice.
You have competition. There are a few on here who regularly post obsessive Paul-worship threads and spew repetitive garbage about how wonderful he is.
Ron Paul is more appealing to the DU/Daily KOS/CodePink crowd than he is to the average FReeper.
Eric, here ist he problem, because Paul is so vocal about his anti-war, quasi-isolationist, pre-Wilsonian views, it caused a lot of us to look closely at how he stands (specifically votes) on other issues. We found that on, for example, borders, if he had any name other than Ron Paul, we would label him in the same league as Brownback. Paul has voted over and over against putting the military on the border and said the border fence 'wasn't that important'.
It is not just us. The American Conservative Union rated Paul 76% last year and the highest rating he has received from them is about 82%. If it wasn't for his speeches and wearing the Constitution as a hat, there would be no hesitation labeling him a RINO.
