A lot of people were shocked when the CPAC straw poll produced more votes for whackjob Ron Paul than for any of the other potential 2012 Republican presidential candidates. The results broke down as follows:
So, does this mean that the people behind the conservative revival are a bunch of nuts? Nah. The portion of total CPAC attendees […]
Sarah Palin has endorsed Rand Paul, who is running for Senate in Kentucky, hoping to replace retiring Senator Jim Bunning. Paul’s web site says the endorsement comes with a generous donation.
In a statement, Palin says she’s proud to support grass roots candidates like Paul. She also says that while there are issues they disagree on, they both agree ‘it’s […]
Yesterday, when I read that Ron Paul was going to pull the plug on his presidential campaign, I was skeptical. Turns out I’m not alone:
True, Paul’s old website carries an obviously counterfeit message claiming Paul is ending his presidential campaign. But that site has clearly been hijacked by neocons and other dastardly demons determined to undermine libertarian […]

Ron Paul’s rabid supporters are still yapping and barking. And, unless their master brings them to heel, they’ll be biting John McCain’s ankles at the upcoming Republican convention:
The forces of Rep. Ron Paul have been organizing across the country to stage an embarrassing public revolt against Sen. John McCain when Republicans gather for their national convention in Minnesota at […]

Rep. Ron Paul, the House member from Texas who technically remains in the race for the Republican Party’s presidential nomination against […]

Ron Paul said he was going to stop stinking up the presidential race, but I guess he was just gibbering again. According to the Washington Times, Dr. Faux is whining about being dissed by the GOP and its presumptive presidential nominee:
Ron Paul says the legions of newcomers his presidential campaign brought to the Republican Party are […]

Ron Paul has, at long last, decided to do the honorable thing: he’s going to stop stinking up the presidential race.
We are still in the early stages of bringing about the changes that this revolution is all about … Let us hope that we can one day look back and say that this campaign was […]

Every party seems to have at least one guest who will not go home, no matter how many hints you drop that the soirée is over. The Republican Party has just such a guest, and his name is Ron Paul. Republican primary voters have dropped hint after hint that it is time to leave, but he refuses. And, like that proverbial […]
Arnold Kling, who yesterday recommended that thoughtful Libertarians abandon Ron Paul, begins this post with a provisional definition of a cult:
For now, let’s say that you are in a cult if you have a set of beliefs where your emotional defense mechanisms have shut down any receptivity to what others would consider reasonable doubt.
And he goes on […]

Ron Paul’s primary contribution to last night’s Republican debate at St. Anselm College was to provide comic relief. Nowhere was that more evident than in his answer to Charlie Gibson’s tendentious question about “why we can’t afford medical insurance for everybody”:
How can we afford a trillion-dollar war and we can’t afford health care? Well, that’s the reason. […]
