"Philosophy is something that Paul speaks of often."
Of course it is, philosophy is one of the major tenents of the libertarian movement, not facts, just some pipe dream utopia based on philosophy, not facts. I too can wish for it to rain $100 bills, but it ain't gonna happen anytime soon. Libertarianism is as flawed, (if not MORE flawed), than what we currently have in place, & will lead to my country being gobbled up by big corporations even faster than it is now.
Taliesan hit every nail on the head in the comments in his/her post, as did hubcap halo, & several others here.
I'm not one of those in favor of either Guliani OR Clinton, (I prefer Obama myself), but I do know that as disasterous are a presidency by them might be, (especially Guliani), it is still preferable to having the "lunatic asylum" that the myriad different beliefs & philosophies, (there's that word again), that Ron Paul's strident followers have.
Being the loudest, most obnoxious, & most annoying doesn't garner votes,prove facts, or make your insane candidate any more appealing to the average voter, & you Paul supporters need to keep that in mind.
