Being wacky IS throwing oneself to the wind. And that's what I was referring to.
As for the GOP eating its own, I see nowhere where the GOP has marginalized him. He's still running a campaign, still accepted at the debates, and his poll numbers at times are better than some of the other hopefuls (I won't go into the reasons I believe are behind that).
But, when someone like Ron Paul is so far distanced from GOP policy as he is on the WOT, he distances himself from the party. Again, he's left the GOP; the GOP didn't leave him. The same holds true for those of us here at FR.
You seem to have a problem with placing blame. I don't.
Sir, Dr. Paul has many opinions published online....it's no secret what his views are......he votes his views of the Constitution......he voted against any troops in Iraq.....it's no mystery, except to the ignorant.......take two minutes and go look up his votes.......also take two more minutes and look up how he votes pro-Constitution.......this bashing is just stupid, the man has a record much longer than the pro-mexican commie lantos....
