Reply #13: Ron Paul? Progressive? Don't make me laugh...

He's a racist lunatic who wants to drag us back into the 19th century with his gold-standard based economic policies.

I used to live in his district and the guy is a joke and a crook. He campaigns on being a deep believer in term limits yet is a career politician who refuses to live his own proposed standard. And at a time when his district was suffering the worst flooding in a decade, he was on Capitol Hill giving a conspiracy-theory driven speech about the evils of FEMA at a time when FEMA were the only ones doing a damn thing to help people in our area. Paul didn't show up until a few days later and gave a speech from a country club some five miles away from the nearest water line.
