Not my fault. If the GOP doesn’t address the concerns of the Constitutionalist/Originalist voter, they will be alienating what appears to be a large contingent of voters.

From what I’ve read from his supporters, they are not so much supporting the man as his platform. If they are that aware of the issues, I wouldn’t suspect a little name calling is going to cause them to run into the arms of another soggy old Obama-lite RINO.

I really, really don't like Paul. But you have hit the nail on the head, and I agree with you. People are hungry for candidates and leaders who will be faithful to the constitution and who care about original intent. Which is to say, faithful to their oath of office, since they all swear allegiance to a constitution it seems few of them believe in and few of them have read.

And people are tired of being denigrated by GOP poobahs for believing in the constitution. We expect to get attacked by Dems; it really riles people to be attacked by their own party for believing in what the party is supposed to believe in but maybe no longer does.

This...

Quoted for Truth.

Any candidate who shows the least sign of cutting the budget and the size and power of the FedGov, along with a reasonable understanding of the US Constitution as supreme law of the land, is likely to get my vote. Ron Paul would dry up and blow away if the Republican party would just field one (or preferably a few) such candidates.
