Amazing. Ron Paul has dominated the conversation on this thread and has moved into the lead of a party that can’t find itself. I’m shocked to see Free Republic Republicans on the defensive like this.

I don't see FR Republicans being defensive. I see them as being outraged by Paul's comments on international affairs, the war on terror and the Iraq war. That's not to say there isn't room for analysis and critique of our foreign policy, but his demeanor is much like outrageous comments by Murtha, Pelosi, Reid, Cindy Sheehan et al.

I also don't see Paul as moving to the lead of the Republican Party. Real polling should show little change to his low numbers. On-line polls are meaningless when Democrats and like-minded third-parties and independents are voting for him en masse.
