The man is trying to keep his oath to defend the constitution and all he gets are the ad hominem attacks. The other candidates can embrace eveything from abortion to amnesty and remain top tier (snort) candidates, single digit also ran's but never nutcases.

There's some backlash lately, though... a young lady told me that she looked into Ron Paul because all she heard were these ad hominem attacks against him, without any substance, and she thought, "there must be something to this guy if he scares them and they just throw insults like 'nutcase'."

The hypocrisy of hating Ron Paul for a single issue while embracing other imperfect candidates is astounding. I'd rather see people try to convince me of why their candidate's flaws are insignificant than to have them attack a fellow GOP candidate.

I'm not sure who I will support, but it's nice to have a conservative like Ron Paul as a choice, rather than having to go with a "big-government world-before-America I-love-the-Constitution-so-much-I'll-put-it-in-a-lockbox" type.

This single issue is the determining factor of our future. If we back down and the Jihad declares victory, will we ever have the resolve to stand up for freedom again? Will any ally ever be willing to join us in a fight for survival when it counts? Why would anyone stand with us when our actions betray our words?

Will any country stand for freedom and liberty? Ever?
