You have a lot of the old GOP Guard angry at the newcomers that Paul is attracting, and the fact that the party desperately needs to libertarianize. It's all jealously and fear, that's all. With a Paul presidency, a lot of conservatives will be out of jobs, because how will they make a living being a "watchdog" over the government or railing against the IRS or other corrupt bureaucracies? This is why prominent conservative blogs and writers are gunning for Paul.

PS - Please tone down the "neo-con" gibberish. It's not cool here.

Actually, you kid yourself with this interpretation of events and people opposed to your guy.

Most conservatives agree in general with many of RP’s domestic stances. There is NO old guard fighting RP on those issues.

And, there is NO such thing as “pro-war” Americans. There are only pro-national security Americans, most of them conservatives with personal experience in the real cost of freedom and peace.

It’s RP’s leftist talking points against the war on terror that divides him from most conservatives, nothing more.

What angers most conservatives is his campaign tactics and efforts to hijack the RNC nomination using leftist anti-war money and votes to win the Republican nomination.

Your imagination is not needed. We’re telling you what the problem with your candidate is. You’re just not listening.
