I do not mind Ron Paul supporters. In fact, they can be some of the most consistent folks in the political discourse. My biggest problem is with Progressives for Paul. Not so much because they support Paul. He's not going anywhere. It's not worth persuading his supporters.
My biggest problem with Progressives for Paul is that their disappointment in Obama is going to aid in the election of a neo-con war monger who will destroy the environment and the middle class. Obama is a decent president who can be pushed to be better. Less imperialistic. Less corporate. Ron Paul is what he is. He will never back down from his anti-environmental, pro-corporate positions that are so destructive to all of us.
