13. He's like Pat Buchanan: a clock that's right once a day |

Just as Pat Buchanan (hard-right bigot) was the first candidate to point out the damage done to the American working class by "free" trade, Ron Paul has been consistently against the Iraq War. Good for him.
Then there's the rest of his platform:
He's anti-choice, even though Libertarians are supposed to be pro-choice He wants to replace the income tax with a sales tax, which would hurt the poor more than anyone and would let the corporations off the hook Like most Repubicans, he's against anything that helps the unfortunate, only more so.
Most of his supporters either don't know enough about him or they're so upset about the war that they're willing to use him as a protest vote.
