Should Democrats support Libertarians and Ron Paul?

Ron Paul is doing well and could win Iowa. I see bloggers and posts saying he is fantastic. He is great and that Democrats should support him. I do agree with Ron Paul on the wars and losing constitutional rights. We never should have fought the Iraq War or Afghanistan war. I am against all wars and do not see any good in them. He is against waterboarding, torture, the Patriot Act and our loss of fourth and fifth amendment rights. So, that is good. His view on Civil Rights, minority rights, worker rights and the economy are horrible. We would be going back to 1800's with no laws or rules. No Medicare, No Medicaid, No public schools, No Social Security, No Civil Rights laws at all, No Child Labor Laws. I cannot see any way these ideas are sound. The government does not regulate the economy but markets do. His world view is so off the path and wrong. There is no historical evidence that free markets self regulate since we have market concentration not competition. He is not for breaking up companies so there cannot be competition. He said that we need to get rid of FEMA and that people can help their neighbors. He is so out of touch. People are working 2 and 3 jobs to survive. We can't breathe let along build someone a house. I know Americans do help each other but as a policy, no government and let people do it. We can't afford to lose a days work or we will get fired. Free makrets had slavery and still do in parts of the world. Free markets exploit workers and people and without government regulations, people suffer, incomes decrease and people cannot survive. Ron Paul is not even close to an answer. He still talks and is a member of the John Birch society. That is where he belongs on the right fringe and away.
