To: My Favorite Headache; All
I watched the debate in it’s entirety (the first for me) and have to say you Floridian Republicans were great. Never seen so much enthusiasm from a group of republicans before.

“Ron Paul is certifiably insane” - it was in the pre-debate portion of the show.

Thank you for saying what needed to be said. He and his supporters should be booted out of the party. They are not Republicans. Everytime I hear libertarian in the future I will remember Ron Paul and his supporters.

I love how you guys (and gals) shot down FNC’s text poll that Alan Colmes happily pronounced Ron Paul as the winner. When asked who thought Ron Paul won NOT 1 OF YOU RAISED YOUR HAND. NOT 1!

Thank you and all the Florida republicans. You gave me great hope for this country. On to victory!

This is what I’ve been fighting. You want to throw Ron Paul out of the party, when on most every issue he’s been a stalwart party loyalist, and a valued vote in the House.

Worse, you want to throw all his supporters OUT OF THE PARTY. “You support Ron Paul, we don’t want your vote”.

If we keep throwing everybody out of the party that doesn’t only support our candidates, we’ll have a 20% party and a democratic super-majority.

We NEED moderate and liberal republicans, AND independents, to vote for OUR candidates in a general election to win.

We won’t get their votes if we call them names, trash them, tell them we think they are all stupid, and then show up on election day and say “nothing personal — won’t you still vote for us?”

I’ve seen REAL conservatives who have voted AGAINST real conservatives simply because of personal slights. Not rational maybe, but its HUMAN.

Attack the candidates’ position on the issues. Let’s stop telling everybody that doesn’t support OUR candidate to go to h*ll, or they will — at least, they will leave OUR heaven, and vote against us out of spite.

BTW, it’s not just you. Many others have shown particular glee running around labelling anybody who doesn’t agree with their candidate as “non-conservatives” (usually they use much more colorful language).

As I’ve said to some, keep going, and when you show up at your next “Republican convention”, you’ll have to bring the refreshments, because nobody else will be there.
