Wow you seem awfully jaded against him.

Care to elaborate on some reasons?

Regardless of whether or not some elements like him, he's far and away the most likely to get my vote. (yes, im a registered Republican, always have been.)

He voted in the House:
Against the Iraq war (knowing Bush was lying, not caving to the propoganda hype)
Against the so called "Patriot Act"
Voted against Tax hikes.

Someone who is actually sane, and has some principles and courage is so refreshing to see running for our nations highest office. The GOP desperatly needs to get back to its Conservative roots, and Ron Paul is a man who can help do it.
