Ron Paul is an easy target to make fun of tho. He looks funny, talks like Mr. Rogers and says things that make us uncomfortable.
Ya he's a career politician, but he is the only guy who's returned money from his congressional office budget...100,000 in 2010 and 140,000 this year(every year he has been in office I believe). He is a different breed than the rest of the hustlers on the hill(he also doesn't participate in the congressional pension).
Going back to the gold standard sounds pretty kookish to me too. But what we have been doing is clearly not working. To continue on the present path seems far more dangerous than anything the funny little man has said.
