Ever heard of a pyrrhic victory? You may hold me in "low regard" but I respect you. I think you are on your way to eventually getting it. It's not necessarily selfish to quit playing a game where the house always wins. It's not necessarily selfish to risk dying on the operating table to remove the cancerous tumor. It's not necessarily selfish to abandon a sinking ship (unless you are an Italian cruise ship captain and you're the first one off).
See you in the surf.
This is not a game.
It's not necessarily selfish to abandon a sinking ship
No, but it is selfish to help sink a ship because it's a steam ship, instead of a sailing ship like your forefathers had. That's what you Paul supporters are doing. You should think of the rest of the people on that ship that simply want to get to a safe harbor...not abandon ship.

It is when that patient is your nation, and you would send her to a quack to save you a few bucks.
Ron Paul is a quack, beyond a doubt.

No you won't. I'll be the one still here furiously bailing out water.
