re: #5 Charles

It’s always mystified me that Ron Paul has so much support among liberals. The guy is PROFOUNDLY illiberal.

It must be the anti-war stuff.

it’s anti-war, and it’s also a lot of IT outsider nerds

If you want to see some fun stuff, go dig up lists of Ron Paul contributors, and look where they work. it’s a whole lot of Google, Apple, Microsoft. it’s a lot of IT guys, people with specialized computer skills who are loners, and talented ones.


Libertarians are often outsiders. They’re often self-made people, solitary people, nerds. Rush fans ^_^; They’re often really smart, and also myopic and selfish. The two Ron Paul people I know are both gay. (and both pretty strange, strange as me anyhow)
