Sarah Palin warned the GOP how many times to not shut Ron Paul out?
Palin and many others WARNED WARNED WARNED the Gop that disaster awaited if they shut out the Ron Paul demographic and some of his issues.
Guess what? Palin was right. Where was Romney on the NDAA? War on Drugs? Police State? Etc?
Answer - nowhere. Romney was the same as Obama on those things and the treatment of Paul at the convention made a few million paul voters to stay home.
Not me, I voted for RR.
However, if the GOP does not start adopting a more “PRO FREEDOM” agenda - we are finished.
Where was Romney on the NDAA? War on Drugs? Police State? Etc?
Honestly, where was Romney on any issue? Can you even name one issue he grabbed by the horns? He talked vaguely about tax cuts and he wouldn't even talk to deeply about that issue because it would have been exploited as more evidence as his "only caring about the rich". He painted a beautiful Norman Rockwellesque sort of picture but those Ron Paul types knew it came replete with TSA agents reaching down their pants at airports and train stations.
Though, I have scorn for them too. Now, they still have those TSA agents reaching into their pants --and they are going to have a much lighter wallet, even more civil liberties lost and untold opportunity cost.
I see the GOP as a lost cause. Complete reform is what we need.
