You should have seen this place back in '99-'00. Paul was to FR what Fred Thompson was a few months ago.
All because of the war. Never-mind that Paul believes that terrorists should be dead just as much as McCain or any of the other Republicans want them to be. Now there's going to be a Democrat who'll REALLY get the troops killed by monkeying around with timetables and deployments. If most Americans support winding down the war, wouldn't it make sense for conservatives to nominate someone who'll bring home the troops without the BS and still be a credible Commander-in-Chief and at least secure the borders and still fund the military than to leave it to the Democrats who'll do more damage, domestically and foreign policy-wise?
I still find it humerous that so many ‘conservatives’ on this site jump up and down over Ron Paul’s foreign policy by calling him a traitor, etc yet do not even blink at the immigration policy by Bush, McCain, etc. This despite the fact that Ron Paul’s POV is just like Bush (and 95% of Republicans were) in 2000 about foreign policy and nation building.
