Don't overlook it at all. I have complete, utter, absolute, (fill in the blank) contempt for a party that used to advocate limited small government and personal responsibility for the citizens of the respective states. It's been hijacked by interventionist busybodies who believe they know better for the world and everyone in it then we ourselves do. And by God they're going to tell us how to live, by force or over taxation.
What you are overlooking, purposefully of course, is that what many of these 'leftists' hate Junior for (i.e. not enough money for government programs) or any other group is that they're not going to get anything. Whether they realize it or think there would be enough support in Congress to override President Paul I don't know. But they won't get squat.
I OTOH am quite aware what I would get from a Paul administration. Absolutely nothing. And perhaps a little disturbing joy to watch the whining as program after program disappears and the citizens of the respective states realize the feeding trough is closed. For good. Not a single program forwarded, not a promise to help this group or that group, nothing. The only thing I would see is an eventual increase in my paycheck as taxes fall to a minimum since they would not be supporting this behemoth called the US government
As to the utter contempt for the GOP, it's a position of pure arrogance when held by those who take the position it, like the nation, has been "hijacked", an act of force. Time for those "Republicans" to leave.
