Well, pretty much the same can be said for Rudy: broad consensus is that if Rudy is nominated, Hillary will be elected because too many Republicans just can’t support him because of his whacked-out views on key issues.

Unlike Rudy’s anti-abortion, anti-gun, pro-gay-marriage views, which have no potential to peel off independent or single-issue Democrat voters from the Democrat party, Paul’s anti-interventionist position does have that potential.

Seventy percent of independents oppose the Iraq situation as it stands, and 90% of Democrats. What percentage of those Democrats see getting out of Iraq as the ONLY issue in their vote decision, and thus recognize Hillary as a fraud and would consider a vote for Paul even as a Republican?

Wouldn’t it be nice to trick Democrats into voting for a small-government, low-tax, anti-entitlement Reagan conservative for a change, instead of the typical RINO problem that we’ve had in the GOP for so many years?

Not at all accurate.

Ron Paul is in full agreement with the long-established party platform since the Reagan era. Contrary to popular belief, the shift toward tolerating nationbuilding is quite recent, essentially, since 9/11. So Ron Paul is still fully consistent with the platform which built GOP majorities and elected GOP presidents (including GWB).

Rudi is the known and aggressive enemy of all the signature Republican party platform policies (Second Amendment, pro-life/pro-family, etc.).

It's quite easy to confuse past statements of Rudi's as being those of the Xlintons. That is because they have essentially the same policies and always have. That's because Rudi is an ally of the Xlintons and he always was.

Whatever your other complaints about Ron Paul's foreign policy, for instance, Ron Paul has never been a friend or ally of the Xlintons. Not even remotely. His policy positions are anathema to them as they are to the leftwing mayor.
