Edit: Title changed to make a point.
Seriously, Ron Paul supporters are hijacking DailyKos for a candidate that is NOT a Democrat, does not subscribe to progressive values and should not be supported on here.
I'm frustrated with this and naturally, I decided to make a diary about it.
I admit that I do not make the rules here. However, I have noticed that whenever someone makes a thread in support of Ron Paul, the reaction is always that Ron Paul should not be supported on here (and rightfully so).
If you read about what Ron Paul stands for, you might even agree.

An excellent series of diaries here on DKos on just how much Ron Paul Hates You.
Let the evidence speak for itself. Of course, Ron Paul supporters will show up in droves to troll and cry about how their candidate is unfairly attacked.
I think Kos and the gang have made it clear in the FAQ, the purpose of this site. I'm posting it here for any of the Ron Paul folks that for some reason, have poor reading skills:
This is a Democratic blog, a partisan blog. One that recognizes that Democrats run from left to right on the ideological spectrum, and yet we're all still in this fight together. We happily embrace centrists like NDN's Simon Rosenberg and Howard Dean, conservatives like Martin Frost and Brad Carson, and liberals like John Kerry and Barack Obama. Liberal? Yeah, we're around here and we're proud. But it's not a liberal blog. It's a Democratic blog with one goal in mind: electoral victory. And since we haven't gotten any of that from the current crew, we're one more thing: a reform blog. The battle for the party is not an ideological battle. It's one between establishment and anti-establishment factions. And as I've said a million times, the status quo is untenable.
Where in this text does it mention Ron Paul or Republicans?
So, being that Ron Paul is NOT a Democrat, Ron Paul's supporters should find another site where they can wax ecstatic about their candidate.
I have to say that just being anti-war is not progressive when you look at everything else Paul stands for.
