[Captain Kirk]

You seem to believe that it is a bad thing if a candidate can expand the shrinking GOP base (just as Ronald Reagan once did). Why?

[traditional1]

Paul's support among the loonatic Left is at least as great right now as his support among conservative Republicans.

They love an anti-war "Republican", and know he couldn't be elected dog-catcher if matched in a race with the Hildabeast. They'll be packing the primaries just as they are at Ron Paul rallies right now.

To compare Ron Paul to Ronald Reagan is akin to comparing the Hildabeast to a woman.
