I really don't get why so many conservatives don't like Ron Paul. While I certainly don't agree with everything he espouses, I think it's good to have a voice like his out there calling for a strict adherence to the Constitution.

It's also interesting to note that Mitt Romney--in many eyes the GOP frontrunner for 2012--is not held in high regard by this particular collection of conservative bloggers.
