(9,933 posts)against the department of education, the epa, would do away with civil rights, and firmly believes there is never any reason a woman needs to or should have an abortion. I guess he could come up with an even more "fuck the poor" agenda? But honestly I think most of the wacky right wing rhetoric we hear from Bachmann, Perry, and Newt is inspired by Ron Paul, his popularity and his followers. Tea partiers and the new radical right wingers resemble Libertarian (by that I mean Paulites not the European flavor) beliefs and positions. Ron Paul is actually the person we should be most concerned about if nominated as he is the only one who polls well against Obama. I know someone will come along within seconds of posting this to say he'll never get nominated, but he's the one I worry most about. His followers are rabid and their posts violent. He scares the crap out of me.
