I happen to live in Ron Paul's Congressional district, curtosey of that great American Tom Delay (thats sarcasm, you humorless SOB's). So I follow his politics closely.
In the redistricting Delay coveted the Clear Lake area and wanted to torpedo Paul, so he gave the island nation of Galveston to Ron Paul. We have a lesbian mayor and vote democratic.
I seriously considered voting for Paul, but ended up voting for his opponent, an old-fashioned conservative democrat. Paul had the courage of his convictions on a lot of things, but he caucused with the Neocon Republicans, and therefore is responsible for their rough treatment of our civil liberties.
The guy is nuts. He's the Dennis Kucinich of the Republican Party-sounds great but has no influence. An abortionist in their caucus?
Get real.
Dennis Kucinich has a huge influence. The short vegan with the big ears and that weird history of being right to support a muni utility vs the banks. He carries the flag for at least 25% of the activists in the Democratic party right now and for a bunch of others that have abandoned it. He brings up the Iraqi oil law and an amendment to strip it from the benchmarks that the powers that be don't allow on the floor. Impeachment, because if we don't, we might as well elect a criminal. Yeah, a nut case. What are you going to tell me, that he's not presenting the case so that it will be accessible to the mainstream? Ayuh.

There's an article on Ron Paul's republican opposition in his congressional district at galvnews.com, the Galveston Daily News website. A Friendswood City Councilman has announced against him for the Republican primary next year because "he doesn't reflect our values".
