Well this should seal Michael Steele’s doom.

The Anti-War nutcase Ron Paul congratulating him.

It is the kiss of death for any serious conservative

What did Ron Paul say that was wrong? Afghanistan IS Obama's War, now; if he screws up the war, he can't blame Bush any more!

Legitimately elected or not, Obama is the Commander in Chief. "The Buck Stops Here". What Ron Paul said is correct -- Obama can no longer blame any mis-management of the War in Afghanistan on anyone but himself. I'd think that any serious conservative would agree with that sentiment.

I don't like Dr. Paul's anti-military stance either, but he is the only true conservative left who has NEVER voted to raise taxes.

Ron Paul: 13th Amendment bans income tax

Ron paul: Gov. WILL tax you for BP's accident

It is the kiss of death for any serious conservative

Serious conservatives were primarily anti war as you call it for decades before this new modern era of politics began after Reagan.

The proper term to use is not anti-war, but anti-interventionism and/or nation building. The 9/11 attacks changed this as a knee jerk reaction. Even Bush, in the runup to his first term, was anti-interventionist or in his case anti-nation building.

There are certainly just wars with this belief but Paul would not likely approve of even that with his libertarianism. Steele is not anti-war but he shares Reagan's anti-direct interventionism or nation building that has always led to failure since post WWII.

Please explain why Ron Paul is a nut case? What makes him insane?
