I've just noticed that InTrade predicts a higher chance that Ron Paul wins the Presidency (2.75%) than his chance of winning the Republican nomination (2.2%).
If by "nuts" his views contrast established power structures, the same policies of the generations, then Long Live Ron Paul!
I misunderstood because as bizarre as it is there are people who actually think like that so it's hard to tell sarcasm from serious statement 
I often fail to see the sarcasm, ignore the 'trolls' and figure out later it was a joke (perhaps on me). Sarcasm is not universally understood and even more difficult to emerge from text.I guess I get confused by people who think that some of his policies are "nuts" and that he's "fringe"... but he is 100x better than any other candidate and finally there is someone who can be voted FOR as opposed to voting AGAINST
I don't understand the accusation "nuts" and I don't believe we are meant to. I believe it is an example of people regurgitating what they are told to think. Criticize him on his stance on abortion or vague religious views, if those truly matter to you, but to say he is "nuts" is sheep mentality without the responsibility to defend a view with a grain of substance. It reminds me of thirteen year old girls who refers to their pre-pubescent loves as 'weird'. It's ambiguous at best. I would not consider Ron Paul 100x better, but infinitely better because he has sincerity and has integrity while all others have none.If by "nuts" his views contrast established power structures, the same policies of the generations, then Long Live Ron Paul!
