What I can’t figure is why people actually lay it out sooooo crystal clear, and still don’t get it.
Travis underscores it perfectly. Does anyone REALLY think the hardcore leftists support “limited govt, constitutionalist, true conservative principles?” OF COURSE NOT. So then why are they feeding money to Paul’s campaign? Becuase it increases their chance of winning!
If you’re George Soros....you spend money on Hillary commercials, you get incrementally nothing, because her base is saturated, and NOBODY is going to switch from Pubs directly to HER.
In fact, her poll numbers probably fall if you advertise her positions more.
But, if you’re Soros, and you get ONE Rudy or Thompson or Mitt voter to switch to Paul’s song, then that’s as good as a free vote for HER Hitleriness.
In a country that almost elected Algore and Kerry by slim 49/51% margins, it doesn’t take much, does it?
Why is that so hard to see?
How will a Paul presidency benefit leftists though? He opposes everything they support, and that's including the war because he's not a pacifist who'll use the military for "peaceful" purposes.
But, if you’re Soros, and you get ONE Rudy or Thompson or Mitt voter to switch to Paul’s song, then that’s as good as a free vote for HER Hitleriness.
But those who are already supporting Rudy or Thompson or Mitt in the primaries and if their guy loses, they're going to support Paul in the general. They're not going to vote for Hillary. Hillary would lose a substantial portion of the independent/liberal vote to Paul.
