Ron Paul, post-paleo.
The man who was once the Great Paleolibertarian Hope has built a broad base of enthusiastic supporters without resorting to venomous rhetoric or coded racism...Yet those new supporters, many of whom are first encountering libertarian ideas through the Ron Paul Revolution, deserve a far more frank explanation than the campaign has as yet provided of how their candidate's name ended up atop so many ugly words.
An interesting article on recent libertarian history.
Politics is harder when you not only must deny the existence of your base, but also pandering to it.
RP should be toast, but I notice he isn't.

Ron Paul is a nut.
He is a quack; he supports all sorts of pseudo-medical quackery.
He denies evolution.
He is an enabler for neo-Nazis.
He is an extremist who shares a belief system held not just by racists but other anti-government zealots.
