Thank you for a thoughtful reply. Although I still think the response to which I objected was beneath you, I agree with you here. There's no doubt that FR has had its share of trolls and RINOs, despite the recent exit of some of the more vocal offenders. It's a constant battle, imho.
My biggest concern is Giuliani. I fear a Democrat victory if he is our nominee.

Well, you've seen my tagline so you know how I feel about him! LOL.
I have a concern that without RP (or Duncan or Tom Tancredo) in the race, we won't pin down the GOP field on conservative principles and ideology. And I'm sure you grasp my assertion that Ron Paul is popular across the board (as Reagan was) because he has that old magic Reagan-Gingrich message. We need for
all our candidates to embrace it.
I think we may find Fred Thompson in some agreement with at least some of the positions RP is taking. By staying out, he can decide about the surge's success and public sentiment on the war and continue to measure RP's unlikely success against the voter demographics he wants to appeal to. Fred is a smart old lawyer (okay, he's younger than RP) and a D.C. insider.
Wanna see something fun? Ron Paul has Meetups and groups overseas. Here's a video made by some young Belgian guys. One of them could be a future Reagan-type or a Sarkozy-type. It's great stuff, almost unbelievable coming out of Belgium, home of the EU. Ron Paul is sparking these groups around the world, hungry for liberty, prosperity, and sick of central economic planning and the strangling nanny-state (like the EU).
