yet more proof that if there's any chance for sanity to return to politics in this country, it will only happen when the sane people become the majority that votes in the *primaries*, so that extreme nutcases like this don't even get on the main ballot.

I'm not holding my breath for 2012, though. Every Republican, including Paul, has spouted some "Tea Party"/Religion in Government line at some point to cater to the lowest of the lows (they call them the "base" for a reason) of that party.
