“If they can hurt the good Republican candidates in the primaries by pumping a loon, then so be it.”
Exactly, they couldn’t talk Perot into running again so they’re using Paul.
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?
