Texas Republican Rep. Ron Paul took to the cable networks today to jab back at South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham, who over the weekend said he would not sit back and watch the Texan “hijack” the GOP with his brand of Republicanism.
“My first reaction would be, ‘What does he have against the Constitution?’ And the supporters I have support me because I’m a traditional conservative and I support the Constitution,” Paul told CNN in an interview tonight.
He cited Graham’s 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 don’t support,” he said.
. . . . .
Their war of words is emblematic of larger battles brewing within the Republican Party over how best to heal the electoral wounds suffered in 2006 and 2008, rebrand itself, and build a new generation of party leaders.

A Skrimpinator...
Gotta get somebody to photoshop Dr. Demento’s head on Skrimp-Girl’s body.
same here. so lets agree to cut the talking points stuff. we have work to do.
what will you be praying for me?
In an October 11, 2007 interview with The Washington Post, Paul said, "There's nobody in this world that could possibly attack us today... I mean, we could defend this country with a few good submarines"
Was he stoned?
no prob, we’re on same team.
What positions of his do you consider "nutso". What positions of his are not conservative?
Well perhaps not. But I think you can say the same thing about any of the candidates or potentential candidates. Palin? Wait till the MSM gets done with more parody of her and Levi is given a few more runs through the tabloids. Pawlenty? About as engaging as a wet dish towel. McCain? We saw the outcome of that.
"This loon" does have a significant constituency, was able to raise millions in his campaign, attracted a lot of young voters to the GOP, and is the only candidate who spoke on a number of issues of grave concern to some of us.
Sure I would have prefferred someone 30 years younger who looked like Robert Redford, but what we have, right now is Dr. Paul.
I for one am very happy he continues to fight for what's right.
If he does decide to run, he’ll get a lot of money right away. I think that his people from last time around will still be there.
That is true. Some people just have no idea what "Ohio class" or "Trident II" mean.
“Does he mean attacks like 9-11? Khobar towers? The USS Cole? Tanzanian Embassies? Marine Barracks in Lebanon? The attack on the Penatgon or the first World Trade Center Bombing? I always thought that Ron Paul said things like this because he was nutty – sorry to be so blunt – but it might be because he’s just stupid.”
I am NOT going to reenact the RP wars...
Some people will agree with me, some will not. It is what makes the world so interesting :)
Jack...if a man fishes for his dinner in the same pond everyday, and all that's in that pond are blue gill, and he cannot feed his family with those...is it the fish' fault, his family's fault...or the fisherman's fault?
We keep fishing in the same pond for candidates and expect different results. I would rather support someone from military (i.e. Franks, Petreus) or business world. People who have true leadership qualities, have not been PC'd (plenty in business and military have been, I know).
Regarding Sarah Palin, who is the closest to that description from w/in the political world, but just barely...let's put it this way; if Nixon got elected, she can too. She's a fighter and we need someone who can fight back against the corrupt media-political party system.
please learn how to resize your photos for posting...let me know if you need help.
