Keep in mind that the national GOP is scared of Paul. They have undermined him and cartblocked him in every one of his Congressional elections.
Paul has his own network of donors and he doesn't need the establishment's help. Perhaps instead of bashing Paul, the GOP needs to court him and co-opt a couple of his issues. Because if Paul's not in the race, who do you think his supporters are going to support? They're going to stay home or vote 3rd party as they always do since they feel they're not represented by either the GOP or the Democrats.
So many Paul haters. They behave like liberals.
Do you think that 90% of the people on FR are represented by this corrupt "Two-Party Cartel"? Until we eliminate this cartel there is really no need for discussing politics. We must vote for the least puke, which is a goofball republican, as to avoid shear disaster. This is what the political ramifications are. Definitely the least of 2 evils.
