To borrow your name, you are extremely misguided about Paul’s supporters.

I've seen Paul's supporters up close and they're just regular joes who don't like the direction that our nation is headed in. There's a meetup group in the Fox Valley here in WI I went to though I'm not a member because of my job committment. There were homeschoolers, Christians, blacks, Hmong, some liberals, college kids, you name it. People from all walks of life. If you want to believe that Paul's support entirely comprises of white supremacists or whackos go ahead but you're simply being disingenuous.

They're mostly disgruntled folks concerned about the direction our nation is headed.

They aren’t coming to him because he’s converting liberals to conservatives. They’re coming to him because they view him the same way we viewed Dennis Kucinich in the 2004 primaries:

But you fail to understand that Paul is not compromising for THEM. He has thrown the message of freedom and liberty out there. What people do with it is their business, not Paul's.

a spoiler candidate who would suck exposure and votes away from the real candidates.

The other GOP candidates never had those votes to begin with, so Paul's not a "spoiler." It is the responsibility of candidates to attract votes. If they can't do it, then how is it Paul's fault? Paul doesn't owe the other candidate's NOTHING. This is what's so funny about the Paul bashing, when the general election rolls around, you guys are going to call Paul's supporters "traitors" for not voting for the GOP nominee. Politicians do not own anyone's vote. They have to go out there with a winning message to attract them. That's what Paul is doing, his message of freedom and limited government has attracted folks to him in droves.

Alright, if you want to pimp your guy, that’s fine. But don’t pretend that libs are giving him money because he’s converting them to conservatism.

Plugging your ears up and singing “LALALALALALALA” is the Democrat way.

QFT. But many here think they do.
