This does show how far the party has fallen. We have gone from debates between Goldwater and Rockefeller, Reagan and Ford to “Vice President” Lindsey Graham and Mr. One Percent Ron Paul. On the one hand you have a fool who favors Global Warming Treaties and Amnesty so he can get good reviews in the Washington Post. And a radical libertarian who wouldn't defend the United States if Osama Bin Laden were walking up 3rd Avenue. To Hell with both of them.
Ron Paul has single-handedly revived conservatism and an interest in Constitutional government again. He is responsible for the Tea Parties across the nation (it actually began on Dec 16th, 2007 as a fundraiser for Paul in honor of the original Tea Party in 1775), he has correctly predicated the collapse of the dollar, continued fighting in the Middle East, housing collapse, and the Fed.
Most of all, Paul's success influenced McCain to choose Sarah Palin instead of Lieberman or Ridge. Sarah Palin has said nice comments about Paul, so when you diss Paul you're dissing Palin too.
Apparently, you guys don't give a crap if young voters and libertarians keep staying home or voting 3rd party and causing the Republican to lose. Nice attacks on Paul, but all you're doing is just digging conservatism's grave some more.
