“There isn’t a big constituency out there for “bomb Iran” outside of the Evangelical Christian voting bloc.”

lol, nice try...is that Pauline logic?

The lack of constituency belongs to Paul who thinks it is ok to allow Iran to attain a nuclear weapon.

No, it is a fact confirmed by exit polls. Independents and Moderates are the center of the electorate. Millennials and Gen X’ers are 30 percent of the Republican electorate now.

The people who support starting a war with Iran are THE MINORITY of Christian Zionists on the “Very Conservative” side of the Republican Party. They are the Jerry Falwell/Pat Robertson/Moral Majority crowd from the 1980s.

Compared to Ron Paul, these people are “extremists” on the Iran question. They call Ron Paul a “kook” for not wanting to start another unnecessary war with Iran, but the truth is that they are the ones who sound like “kooks” to the broader electorate.

Those people stuck with George W. Bush to the end when his approval rating had collapsed into the mid-20s.
