All I ever hear from anyone that actually knows who he is, “he seems like a nice guy”. That’s it.
I have met and chatted with him occasionally since 1997 or 98, have met his wife, mother and children, and have read a couple of his books; and one of his sons is friends with a relative of mine. He is not creepy. None of them are creepy. They are very nice folks, and he has been drafted and funded by people who do find his courage in confronting Obama and the many social ills of this country squarely, as well as his frequent defenses of the constitutional republican system.
He is very intelligent; and very intelligent people are often accused of being "weird" by average people. I've seen that from childhood on with the several PhD's or MD's in my own family. That's the only reason (other than favoring another candidate) that I can think of for freepers to insult someone who is likely to be part of the next Republican administration by appointment. Defaming him is insulting to either Trump, Cruz or Rubio who will most likely offer him a top spot in HHS or similar.
That said, he is not my preferred candidate because he is still green on some issues, but if he were nominated, there is no chance in hell that I would throw my vote to Hillary or Bernie by abstaining.
