Ron Paul Renegades

Yesterday Andrew Clarksenior was bombarded on Mike Flemming's show, by callers in support of Ron Paul for president. Based on the attitude of most of his supporters. I think he is probably a Conservatives Conservative. There's not much room for compromise among them. Either you're with them or against them. They hold fast to this notion of adhering strictly to the constitution. In itself that may be a good thing, but it lends credence to conspiracy theories. These people tend to have what appears to be tunnel vision. They fix their eyes on one particular issue and hold on like pitbulls. To some people that tenacity may be just what's needed in today's political climate. Realistically that strategy is not very effective though. In a presidential race that will be so personality centered. No one is going to be able to show up and hijack a party. Being able to get along with others will be one of the biggest factors the Republicans have to face.

    His supporters are a persistent bunch. Too bad that doesn't translate to campaign funds.He has raised less than a million dollars.

  2. He had a sudden influx of campaign contributions. Could this really be outside influences, creating a modern-day Ross Perot?
