 * You don’t need a plugin to disable the Visual Editor. Deactivate that plugin 
   and simply tick “Disable rich text editor” in your profile. The HTML tab recognises
   the `<p></p>` tags and adds them exactly as you entered them in the post content
   area.

 * It’s your theme that is the problem. It’s removed the top & bottom margins on
   the `<p>` tag. Try adding:
 *     ```
       #content p {
       margin-top:1em;
       margin-nottom:1em;
       }
       ```
   
 * to the bottom of style.css.
