Is it his blowback idea?
If so what don't you like about that?

They simply hate his foreign policy of non-intervention, which is not isolationism. What Paul is really advocating is for the US not to interfere with the domestic political affairs of foreign nations while continuing to allow unfettered economic trade with the rest of the world. Oh, and "law and order" Republicans simply despise him for his opposition towards the "War on Drugs"(tm) just as much as to the "War on Terror"(tm).
Other than that, he holds dear many conservative beliefs. He prefers "market-based" solutions to social problems instead of gov't programs. For the most part, Ron Paul is quite anti-choice. He's also a firm supporter of individual gun ownership rights. He also wants to eventually abolish the IRS and several other gov't bureacracies that he sees as "infringements" on individual liberty and economic growth. (Generally, most conservatives would also want to see these gov't agencies abolished; they just aren't as willing to express their view openly as much as Paul is.)

I think he had some good ideas but did not know how to explain them in a way that most people would understand or like. Im not saying to change his ideas, but approach the issue in a better way is what he should have done. I like the view the American infrastructure as a building with pipes and wires and cables and vents and everything else that makes it work. Then I imagine it has been ripped up and torn apart with add ons and cut corners and now we have this huge system that works inefficiently limping from one problem to the next. Instead of revamping the system, it needs to be completely stripped down, and replaced with a new one that encompassed everything it needs from the get-go. This starts with unneccessary government offices, depts, etc.

Im not a republican but im a conservative and certainly watching Paul and the republicans debate when it goes on.
I think that there is a contributory factor to what has been termed blowback, but I think some underestimate it and I think Paul overestimates it.
We ( the US ) is in a position now where you cannot just pull the rug out from under it all. It has to be a transitionary change and I do not think that that is his intention.
Also Paul's age is a factor sadly enough, he looks scattered in debates, he stammers and hesitates alot. I have seen debates in years past going back to the 60s with Paul and people such as William F Buckley. And what in the past appeared to be a sharp man has dulled alot.
Oh and hoo's comments reminded me that the worst thing about Ron Paul is actually his supporters. If this were just about domestic policies I love the guy. Some of his supporters are kooks though.

The Republican party made a huge mistake with the Smoot Hawley Act in 1930. We know isolationism doesn't work and is detrimental to the country's welfare. Ron Paul hasn't figured that out yet.

About Ron Paul:
It's mostly the fact that he is not a Republican. He runs under the Republican ticket, but he is not a republican. State what you are, don't hide under the cloak of another.
And that is before I even get going on any of the issues......

Non-intervening foreign policy
No plan for illegals
Opposition to the war on drugs
Destroy the Federal Reserve
These are to name a few. I just do not like the fact that he would not support any othe Republican who gets the nomination. If you would not support your fellow party members, than who and what would he support as President?

How about what ideas exactly do republicans hate of Ron Paul's constiuents?
First and foremost it's this.
A lot of people, including Ron Paul supporters, are unable to construct a sentence or question properly.
A lot of people, including Ron Paul supporters, use the word hate indiscriminately.
A lot of people, including Ron Paul supporters, don't know the difference between the word hate and the term disagree with.
If you're asking about some of Ron Paul's ideas that some Republicans disagree with I can only speak for myself.
Mostly it's his stand on defense.
He believes we should pull our troops out of everywhere overseas, bring them home, bury our heads in the sand and wait.
I DISAGREE with this policy!

His whole "war is bad" philosophy. It makes them feel useless.
