The rationale of most of the Ron Paul supporters I've come across is this:

"Clinton, Giuliani, and the rest are politicians, which means they'll lie and pander for votes and money. Ron Paul just tells you what he thinks, and I like that better."

So, you're in a cult if you like someone who's not corrupt? What a sad view you have, BRTD.

No, the thing is that Paul is not a real leader for America.  He is a doctor from TX, what does he know about running the country other than his own beliefs.  Therefore it seems to me he just wants to push his crazy ideas(no matter how much people wish they would they will never work) on others.

Apparently you missed the "Congressman" part of his title. It seems to me that a successful doctor with political and military experience is more qualified and "in touch" with the majority of Americans than a lot of the people running for office now. As for pushing his "crazy ideas," the whole of his candidacy is that he's against the government forcing things on people.

Well then why does he want to outlaw gay marriage and abortion?  Also, just because hes a congressman does'nt mean anything.  From what I've seen he was a do nothing congressman who never accomplished anything.

Ron Paul wants to return these issues to their proper area at the state level, so that it no longer poisons national politics.

Though you are correct about him being a do-nothing Congressman.  Then again, most every legislator in Washington can be described as "do-nothing".  This is why legislators do not get elected Presidents.  That said, Ron Paul is certainly more qualified to be President than Barack Obama or John Edwards.

Thats why I support someone whos done something(Biden), alot of somethings.

Except he doesn't.  He just wants to take it out of the hands of the Feds.  So...ya know....when the next time the Bible Thumpers get in charge they wont take them away in mass.

No, about the only things that he did in congress of importance were attempts to take down abortions and gay marriage.
