I love Ron Paul's ideals and some of his ideas, but he was the worst candidate I've ever seen. How does someone go on Meet the Press to discuss eliminating the income tax without even knowing how much the income tax brings in? It just made him look like a buffoon. It makes no difference how much you back a candidate, if he doesn't want to run a real campaign, all you are doing is wasting time. One other major negative for Ron Paul was his kooky supporters. We had to put up with months of their bellowing about how all of us sheeple just didn't get it, we just keep going along with the flock right over a cliff. But not one of these non-sheeple has ever asked what Ron Paul did with all that grass-roots campaign money he raised. He dang sure didn't buy advertising with it, (nor any suits or haircuts either).
