But, according to the paul haters here his supporters are mostly leftwing moonbats. How can that hurt the R chances?
I've not taken part in many of the Ron Paul threads because I don't see him as a serious candidate and I do see him as a nut. I believe when "paul haters" say his support comes from "leftwing moonbats" they mean his financial support to achieve what I described...the election of the former first co-dependent or B. Hussein Obamanation.
Ron Paul gets most of his FINANCIAL support from leftwing moonbats and most of his POLITCAL support from duped libertarians and conservatives.
Is that clear enough for you?
It’s a lot of desperate, wishful thinking on our part to think that Ron is yanking support from the left.
Dont be silly, people.
Ron is yanking support from the intellectual and instinctive libertarian wings of the GOP. It’s the instinctive libertarians that are powering his 2-6 % support per state, guys that take the ‘dont tread on me’ thing seriously but dont think much beyond that, and see the GOP morphing into an authoritarian party of public morals nags.
Talk about destroying the GOP brand name with John Q ...
Elections are won at the margins. Look at the state by state breakdowns from ‘04, ‘00, ‘96 ... it dosent matter how far you go back, it’s all 49-51, 48-52 % vote splits. That’s why 3rd party candidates can take down an entire GOP or DEM candidacy ... that 1 or 2 % support the 3rd party candidate grabs is enough to flip a state over the other side.
Is Ron really p.o’d enough at the collapse of small government conservatism that he’s willing to take down the whole party in ‘08? I dont really know that much about the man beyond everyone here insisting he’s insane.
