But note the very important difference here in the way the arguments
for supporting Paul have been made:Marcy and Steve: "I disagree with Ron Paul on marriage but support him
regardless, because I think he will advance Liberty."Kurt: "I agree with Ron Paul on marriage."
I don't group all of Paul's supporters into one category. The ones I
specifically have a quarrel with are the ones who actually agree with
his social conservatism, because it's decidedly not Libertarian.Rob
