Thats not why they are doing it, anymore than they were in support of McCain in 2000.
well, as was said on another thread:
“Wouldn’t you prefer that leftists be tricked into voting for someone who respects the Constitution, rather than we Republicans being tricked into voting for a gun-grabbing RINO like Guiliani?”
I think the minority of Paul supporters who are leftists are simply blinded by their opposition to the Iraq war, above all else. Then again, ironically, most conservative opponents of Paul’s may fall into a similar category too...
