Neither of these two are appropriate or qualified to address the topic.

Whatever the future of the GOP.....it would be better if these two don’t participate.

I’d be a “Paulbot” before I’d be a “Graham cracker”.

Get real. Who do you think it was who created the Tea Party movement? Who influenced McCain to pick Sarah Palin? Who got millions of Americans talking about the Fed and limited government again? New breed of GOP candidates running as classic old-right Republicans?
It sure as Hell wasn't Grahamnesty.
The only flaw with Paul is his 18th century foreign policy views, but even then it's still better than Grahamnesty supporting endless wars and nation-building everywhere. We need to have this fight, and restore libertarian-conservatism back in the GOP.

He cited Grahams support of TARP funds and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and all the big government things as examples of why his supporters feel lukewarm about the GOP. These are the things that constitutional conservatives dont support, he said. The Scrimp King is dead on correct here!! Anyone that supports Tarp and the Carl Marx capitalism it leads to is one sick puppy.

Ron Paul is a lot of things, to be sure. But he is NOT a Rhino. Paleo-conservative, possibly. Pre-WW2 Conservative? Yes. Neo-con? NO! Many here on Free Republic are neo-cons, as are many of the most popular talk radio figures. So it’s not surprising that many here don’t like Paul.
But he’s not a RINO as we use the term. (IE: Rockefeller Republican, often siding with and voting with Dems, unwilling to take a stand for Conservatism, wishy washy on the issues.)

"When 2 rhinos battle, the base pays the price."WTH are you talking about? I'm not a Paulbot, but Ron Paul is no RINO by any stretch of the imagination.

In my book, anyone who isn’t a Conservative is a RINO.
Paul hews to some true ideals. But he also shat bit nutso and drags us all down with him.

Lindsey you and Juan lost if not for Sarah it might have been a 40 state plus blowout.
To: Extremely Extreme Extremist
All of his flaws combined do not add up to the damage done by RINOs like Graham, Snowe, Specter, McCain, Jeffords, Chafee.....
It was Bush’s deviations from conservatism (I don’t consider nation-building neocons in the same category as conservatives) that alienated the public against the GOP. Positioning RINOs like those above in influencial leadership also took its toll on the party. They always blocked the will of the the people that got the party as a whole elected.
