if allowed to continue, he will take votes away from the most conservative Republican candidates in the party, not the most liberal. This is bad for the party and the country.

If the above is true, the author's premise about Paul being supported by leftists and leftist libertarians and liberals is seriously challenged. I'm not sure he can have it both ways. I think the above is true. Thompson and Trancredo are viewed by many Paul supporters, in my personel experience, as being the only other Republicans they can say some kind words about.

The only Republicans we find in his campaign are those myopic small government conservatives angry with Bush for his Democrat-like spending habits.

only? lol I think there is a big number of these, and they account for the majority of Paul's support, IMO. Various internet polls of Paul supporters indicate 2-3-4:1:1 R I D

“I’m not sure he can have it both ways.”

Both ways? He’s saying RP is only a threat to the RNC nomination process due to perverting it withg leftist suporters. How is that two different statements?

“only? lol I think there is a big number of these, and they account for the majority of Paul’s support, IMO.”

You think there are a HUGE number of Republicans ready to throw national security under the bus and retreat in defeat by supporting Paul just because they’re angry with Bush over his spending?

I’d say nearly ALL Republcican voters are looking for a fiscally conservative candidate for a change. But damn few are willing to retreat in defeat from the WOT to elect a nut like Paul. That’s the statement in the coulmn. Are you really disagreeing?
