45. Ron Paul is not a liberal, he's a true conservative.
Edited on Tue Sep-27-11 12:54 PM by ProudToBeBlueInRhody
Anyone who says they're a liberal and supports him is dumb and clearly doesn't do a fig of research. Sorry if you don't like that. It has nothing to do with what our party is offering them (which I agree is not much), it has everything to do with the fact they are trying to be a hipster by supporting a guy who's "outside the box". David Duke's outside the box too, maybe they should back him as well. There are many people who say they like Ron Paul who don't know a fucking thing he stands for beyond being an "outsider" and "not part of the machine". Guy's got the most amazing bullshit shovel of all time.
