My difficulty is this: extreme is fine if there's a foundation for the belief. It might be intellectual. It might be moral.

But I just cannot begin to imagine what motivates most of these guys. They seem to believe in protecting incumbent wealth. That's about it.

Ron Paul is the exception. He has an idea in mind. I'm certain it doesn't work, but I know who and what I am dealing with and I just disagree with his philosophy. But the others are just awful.

Not the party of Reagan. I think Reagan genuinely believed in entrepreneurialism. These folks have no idea how to generate that.
