Frankly, Paul is engaging with voters because he’s the only fresh thing on the menu. Over here in the UK, none of us is especially for fascism but while the main parties conspire to be big government, big spending wasteful crooks people are holding their noses and voting for the “anti-politics” party; the BNP. And I think many Americans are doing the same.

I think most right wingers will fundamentally disagree with Ron Paul on foreign policy, which is about as moonbat as you can get, but when US finances are in tatters and you’re borrowing heavily to fight in Afghanistan and making a pigs ear of it, I’m sure a lot of people can forgive him. Primarily because nobody has quite put economic reform at the top of the bill like Paul has. You need to snatch that away from him and mainstream the idea that low taxes and small government are at the core of the GOP. You wouldnt have got that idea from John Mccain.
