   Don’t know. I’ve never met a Ron Paul supporter in real life, they seem content to never leave their parent’s basement

   wow I predict your going to get reported and hammered for this one. I asked a question about why so many Paul supporters fail to follow the TOS and got violated for it.

   many paulites are not rational. they think the only way to get ahead is not to follow he rules and to attack instead of explaining.

   they are completely incapable of dealing with reality and see conspiracies and Bogey men under the bed waiting to get them.

   many are disenfranchised zealots who feel that because the world does not conform to their beliefs they will make it, and when they cant they complain.

   This is why paul is loosing support. Just look at the video of his followers attacking Sean hannity. because he disagrees with Paul the paulites attack and chase him and take joy in the fact they intimidated some one who voices decent.

   Saddly it is not some of the time, it has become the sole reason for many Paulites, cross the line because no one will stop them.

   very disturbing.

   Ron Paul only attracts the fringe elements. Most of which never vote, and are satisfied with blogging from the safety of their parents basement all the while screeching about a candidate that will never see the inside of the white house..

   Sorry but Paul is not Losing support, rather he is gaining. If i am so called one of your “loons” that crosses the line, so be it. However, most of us are just normal Americans, rather then “sheeple” and actually can handle a larger dosage of truth then the average American who needs to be coddled and lied to. I guess your parents or other friends make fun of Ron Paul supporters, so you join in too? (this is not directed necessarily at the Question asker, rather all of you who post such silly remarks about “all” of “us”)

   If you could wrap your hands around his message, and really believe it you would understand. And, once you do that, if you turn on the TV and tune into the MSM, and see zero reporting on someone who you believe in, who deserves proper coverage, you would be angry too. Forgive them, us, we are part of a freedom message, and most of us believe in being kind and passive. I have never marched, or been an activist in my life, and consider myself quiet person, but Ron has brought about a fire in my and my husbands belly that is undeniable.

   Dont be a sheep, think for yourself. Dont let the MSM decide the candidate for you. That is why we yell and wave signs. We have to make up for the MSM blackout and smears.

   I’m a strong supporter of Ron Paul and I think you’re asking a good question. In my opinion some people do take their zeal for the candidate who, ironically, is very low-key and sensible in his own conduct, and express it in ways that are unnecessarily confrontational, and end up sometimes doing less good than harm. This definitely reflects an element of his supporters, but I don’t know if its the majority or not.

   Its reported that the most donations from enlisted military is going to Rep. Paul. I’ve also read testimonials from many “ordinary people”: older Republicans concerned about their party’s loss of values, parents concerned about federal management of education, African American families upset with the way the “War on Drugs” is focusing disproportionately on black people, economists, veterans, people like me who feel adamantly but don’t need to curse people out about it.

   It seems that people often focus on Paul’s more zany supporters. I notice that when they want to discredit Dr. Paul, they’ll usually cite these supporters rather than comment on his policies or his ideas or on his conduct. Of course that’s a false argument.

   I do wish, however, that some of his supporters would realize that you catch more flies with honey. Nobody wants anything shoved down their throats. Its enough sometimes to simply tell people about Dr. Paul’s stances and let the good sense of them speak for itself. Anyone representing Dr. Paul, I believe, should bear in mind that the impression they give people is often the impression people will have of Paul.
