But why put party obedience over ideology though?

Obediance? You really do hate the republican party don't you? What term are you going to use next for us republicans, "lock-steppers"? Brown shirts? Jeesh.

I do think that party loyalty is important but I don't just mindlessly pull the lever because they have an "R" next to their name -- for example, I voted for Perot because I couldn't abide Bush 41 raising taxes, and even more importantly I was horrified that he didn't remove Saddam during "Desert Storm". I mean who in their right mind would leave a dictator in place after he's invaded their neighbor. especially when you have over 500,000 troops right there to do the job. Anyway, don't get me started.

As for my ideology -- I have a diverse set of views like most people have. I'm not a single issue person. I don't see the world as black or white. And the party that best reflects my overall views is the Republicans. Which is why I am a proud, card carrying member of the GOP.

He said no such thing. Please find the link. He has stated several times, most recently during an interview with CBS, that he has no plans for a 3rd party run.

I'll try to look for it after this post. It was a few days ago during an interview, Paul did not rule out a 3rd party run.

Because I want Paul to continue to rebuild the GOP

Given all the boos he recieved at the last debate, he might have his membership revoked before he has the chance to do any rebuilding.

He's bringing in new voters, libertarians, constitutionalists, and traditional liberals back into the GOP

How so? You haven't joined the GOP yet. And I haven't seen any spike in GOP membership at all since he joined the 2008 fray. Where's your proof?

When they support RINOs over conservatives, and act like wussies when Dems attack them....yeah, you can say that I'm not pleased.

You won't find the quote even if Caterpillar was your search engine. HE AIN'T RUNNING AS A 3RD PARTY CANDIDATE.

You and I both know that those audience members were paid shills for Fox.

Peep Paul's grassroot support. Democrats and independents are registering as Republicans to vote for him. If the GOP embraces some of his views and if Paul endorses the nominee (should he lose) and stop attracting these moonbats, most of these people will end up voting for the GOP nominee in the general.

"Paul Leaves Third Party Door Open An Inch

During an MSNBC interview Wednesday, Rep. Ron Paul was asked if he would run for president as a third-party candidate. Paul replied, "No, I don't plan to run in a third party. That's not my goal. But if we have a candidate that loves the war and loves the neocon position of promoting--" Interviewer Norah O'Donnell cut Paul off at that point, and did not return to the topic during the rest of the interview." http://politicalinsider.com/2007/10/paul_does_not.html

PS: really bad reporting job by Norah O'Donnell. How could she cut him off right then. What an idiot
