EDIT: It's a little depressing how many libertarians have been coopted by crazy racist con-man Ron Paul for the meager reward of being part of a movement that's 2% of the population rather than .2%.
This cannot, cannot be overstated. People are laughing at Mitt Romney and Karl Rove for squandering alllll that donor money without winning any elections, but Ron Paul has been doing that **** for DECADES.
This was the best election cycle for libertarian causes in decades and Ron Paul pretty much sat it out. We kept hearing from some forum posters that Ron Paul
couldn't be a racist because he opposed the drug war. He's a force for liberty, they said, even if he can't win because he's a knuckle-dragging racist piece of ****, personally he got the IDEA of LIBERTY out there in public. So they had to support him.
Well, I'm looking at the list of endorsements for Amendment 64. I see Gary Johnson. I don't see Ronald Paul.
Now I'm perusing some of the more prominent Pro-Ron Paul PAC's expenditures. I see that Endorse Liberty dropped a few grand electing the purebreed wingnut Ted Cruz to Senate. I'm not seeing a ****ing dime spent to legalize pot.
