Ron Paul is to you what President Obama is to Rush Limbaugh.
Rush Limbaugh is ignorant and hateful, sees the world through the lens of ignorance and hate, and appeals to ignorance and hate.
Whatever valid points he may have - and he does have some - are drowned out by his emphasis on ignorance and hate above all else.
I am not ignorant, and I'm not motivated by hate.
And for what it's worth, I'm no fan of Obama either. Obama is, to me, the consummate politician. Vaguely well-meaning but controlled by his own lack of imagination and boldness, his inability to be a leader.
I understand Ron Paul better than his own supporters do. I understand his ideas, what they represent, and why they won't work any better now than they have in the past.
All of which is lost on his supporters, who always speak in broad generalizations but always seem to know nothing of history or the other topics relevant to Ron Paul's platform. A platform consisting of ideas that seem crazy to anyone who isn't American and basically uneducated.
Do you think that's a coincidence? Do you? Honest question.
