Ron Paul is a snake. Ron Paul has a history. I studied the guy 25 years ago. He is a far right Libertarian. His ability to raise money is phenomenal. He had considerable help from-Richard A. Viguerie transformed American politics in the 1960s and 1970s by pioneering the use of computerized direct marketing in the political and ideological spheres. His innovative skills and groundbreaking marketing strategies helped build the conservative movement, which then contributed to the election of Ronald Reagan as the first conservative president of the modern era.
Ron Paul is clever. In Texas running for office he supported "recreational cross burning" on private property, not public land. :)
