I don’t think they confused conservatives in Texas. I’d vote Ron Paul for Congress, but NEVER EVER EVER for Senate, let alone President. As one of 435, his voice is good. Dont’ EVER put a Paul in charge of anything though!!!
I get what you’re saying, but guys like Paul love the microphone too much. They make public statements that really confuse people who aren’t well grounded. They think, wow, he was really great on that issue. He must be great on everything. Sadly he’s not even close to great on the other things. Lots of times he’s absolutely terrible.
Do you want this wing-nut spouting this 09/11 truther stuff from Congress? Then when he agrees with you, another group of people wonder why, and think you’re wrong even when you are right.
They just muddy the waters too darn much.
However, there are plenty who are swallowing his and his son's isolationist rhetoric. Very destructive.
