He's also against supporting Israel, which is huge.
On the libertarian thing, it really depends what your idea of libertarian is. He doesn't believe in separation of church and state, he's anti abortion, anti gay marriage, etc. He's not *as much* of a religious nut as the other guys, but that's not saying much.

Just a very simple question. Why does Ron Paul tend to be ignored in the Republican Party and the Tea Party? I got thinking about this after Jon Stewart's segment a couple of days back about this. His primary stances are libertarian conservative, and yet he is constantly downplayed in the Republican debates, he is less favoured in the media compared to Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachmann, who more or less jumped on the Tea Party bandwagon, when Ron Paul (to keep along with the metaphor) practically built it. Does anyone have a theory on why?

Because libertarianism doesn't rely on religion.
