Wow! Mark Shannon has an excellent post on his website on the Paulies. It sums up my thoughts as well.

When I woke up Wednesday morning, I had nothing I felt strong enough to write about, (as you may have noticed,) so rather than forcing something, I just left it blank.
Nothing like a couple hours on the air to remedy that problem.
Here’s the long and short of it: I’ve had it with the “Paulies.” Those people who claim to be supporters of Ron Paul and the Constitution, but who have no common sense, understanding of how to present themselves or represent their candidate or their beliefs.
Never mind that I happen to be the guy who does the show, the “Paulies” have managed to alienate the host of one of the only call-in shows in the city that actually deals with political topics. They’ve also managed to do it to every major talk show host in the country from Beck to Limbaugh to Hannity.
They get screened out from the national shows most of the time, and now have managed to be annoying enough that they will be screened out or dumped by the digital time-delay we utilize normally for profanity.
Regardless of your political positions, if you are going to win in politics, which is a “people” business, you’ve got to be able to communicate with and work with all kinds of people.
“Paulies” don’t get it. They think they’ve got the only “CONSTITUTIONAL” position on every issue, and are just sure the light will all come on for the rest of us (“not really”) conservatives in this country.
They heckled Tom Coburn at the Republican State convention, a real TURN OFF. They will talk you into a corner ranting about the FEDERAL RESERVE and how taxation is slavery and one or two other of their limited points, another TURN OFF.
Call your internet radio stations with the other fringe members and have a ball sounding brilliant to each other because no one else wants to listen to you.
If he has any connection to these guys, Randy Brogdon, candidate for Governor, would do well to distance himself from these guys, because he’s going to have enough difficulties to overcome trying to defeat a very popular Mary Fallin without having these immature and political novices representing him in any way.
Good job guys. You’ve slit your own throat…..again.
