Probably not for the sarcastic reasons of the poster above. While I get that Ron Paul has many of the same positions that ALL of the other republicans have, I also know he at least will vocalize some of the issues that democrats have abandoned, anti-drug war, anti-unjust warring, anti-huge-military industrial complex

In this manner in these issues he will have helped push the national dialogue to the left.
