Maybe their nominee will actually be Ron Paul? The whole Gingrich smack down illustrates how extreme the right has become. Or is that mad?

Wish the news was emphasizing the oil subsidy vote instead.

1. I'll fart Drakkar before Ron Paul gets the Republican nomination.

2. Ron Paul is NOT a libertarian.
He is a pre-FDR Republican. No real libertarian wants to ban abortion.

3. Yeah ok
Would explain why older tea partiers like him. Seems like college kids view him as libertarian. Either way he is repulsive. Hope he doesn't get far.

Really don't need a government even more favorable to corporations

5. Thank you! I get sick of the Ron Paul is a libertarian nonsense.
He's non-interventionist state rights Republican. I mean does he even actually oppose the drug war on grounds other than state's rights?

Sounds like you are making the No True Scotsman fallacy.

7. A libertarian against privacy and individual rights?
That would be called a Republican.
