Speaking from a purely Minnesota perspective, there may well be a post-election civil war within the Minnesota GOP.
The battle will be between supporters of Ron Paul and the traditional element within the GOP. The Paultards came in and ousted everyone who would not show total slavish allegiance to Ron Paul and all he stood for.
Now let’s keep something in mind. The Paultards did not purge the country club element in the state GOP. They purged EVERYONE! They did it in an extraordinarily boorish and harsh manner.
In the short time the Paultards have been in charge, they’ve, simply put, f***ed up just about everything they’ve touched. Most of them have disappeared from being available to volunteer on campaigns. You can’t count on many of them. Their sole loyalty is to a old coot down in Texas.
Even before the election, there’s already been talk about big-time payback.
The battle will be between supporters of Ron Paul and the traditional element within the GOP.
That's unfortunate, in so many ways. But mostly because the Paulistinians aren't interested in building anything -- only in tearing down. Their anarchist streak runs toward nihilism.
Ron Paul himself never wanted to win anything, either. He was one of these guys who got his kicks by pissing in the soup.
If there is to be a civil war in the Republican Party, best that it be conducted between serious people.
Paul's people aren't serious people...
