The one positive thing I can say about Ron Paul is that he’s a very sincere candidate (I’m pretty sure the guy believes what he preaches). Romney, on the other hand, is at the other extreme: “I will say all the right things in the primaries, but… wink, wink, ya know, I’m not that crazy actually, and you’ll see that in the general election – a.k.a. Etch-a-Sketch”.
Hard to judge the man who lives inside Romney, while Paul is what-you-see-is-what-you-get.
That being said, what I see in Paul is a rather dangerous lunatic, and, no, thank you, I’d rather take anybody but him. Gold standard, Santa Claus, etc… The man is delusional.
PS: the fact that he’s a got a lot of followers doesn’t make it any better. Human history is full of charismatic lunatics. People have paid the price in the past.
