I don’t worry too much about the vitriolic comments aimed at Ron Paul - they just help confirm that my decision to leave the Republican Party was the correct one. Me neither, but at the same time it's frustrating. You had someone who was bringing in new people and the libertarians into the GOP and restoring some core principles back into the party, and he gets denounced by the very conservatives who whine about how too far to the left the GOP has shifted. It's mind-numbing insanity.

It's mind-numbing stupidity to sit this election out when it is going to be extremely close and SCOTUS seats are on the line. We are but a few key decisions away from losing the entire game and Paul & supporters are off in la-la land having their own little masturbatory consolation picnic. He can darn well have his celebration anywhere and anytime he wants. Like Denver at the end of the month. But no. He wants to have it in St. Paul to, as someone correctly assessed early on, be the turd in the punchbowl spoiler.

Let's see...this candidate earned delegates and was still getting a substantial portion of the vote in some places even toward the end (e.g., some counties in Pennsylvania were more than 1/4 for Ron Paul)...yet they won't invite him to the party convention?

And now you complain that he's the one being a problem for unity?

It's mind-numbing stupidity to nominate McCain who has been the Democrat's bestest friend over the past 8 years and all of a sudden "rally" behind him. Seriously, if McCain doesn't pick a decent VP I'm leaving the presidential box blank and voting down-ticket.

There you go again, I succinctly explained that Paul's supporters are not part of the regular makeup of voters and that the only reason they're participating is because of Paul. Now if you want McCain to earn these votes I suggest he get his campaign in gear and start talking about the real issues killing this country instead of the same-old BS we hear every four years. You should also stop denigrating these people - it makes no sense to trash the very people that you need their votes for.
