Ron Paul is kind of a puzzle to me. Many insist he is evil in one way or another, but it seems more to me that he's clueless -- about how he is perceived, why the newsletter racism is a big deal, why regulation is needed. As if he doesn't even see the predatory cruelties of the day.

the economy would work under Laissez-Faireism despite plenty of examples to the contrary.

to the Conservative Caucus, Howard Phillips' group. What Ron Paul says and what he has been involved in conflict. Those people are directly tied to the religious right and created the "shadow cabinet" that Ron Paul was a part of in 1977. They are directly connected to funding the contras. Ron Paul has a person directly tied to Jack Abramoff on his campaign, Doug Bandow.

There are a bunch of links I posted here:

These articles are about the Conservative Caucus of which Ron Paul is involved:
