“He may not be right on everything but to dismiss him entirely is to dismiss the chance to accept into the platform the ideas that will work and get his supporters to come into the fold and vote republican in Nov.”
Sarah Palin said as much also. She said not to dismiss his supporters who are genuine Libertarians. I’m sick of hearing talk show hosts, like nit-wit Todd Schnitt, call Ron Paul supporters degrading, dispicable names, asking them when they took drugs last,.....and even plays with his cuckcoo toy when a Paul supporter calls. Billy Cunningham is disgusting too.You could hear his saliva as he gushed over Cain and disparaged Paul....and Perry. Many of Paul’s supporters are veterans and police officers. I hate it when they are abused verbally. When did it become out of bounds in America to support a candidate? I’ll tell you this, I’m not a Paul supporter but I interact with many college kids. They are high on him and love Rand. They don’t think he’s a kook. They think we’re kooks.
We’ve now reached the pits of insanity in the manner we chose our leaders. It’s probably why we don’t have any since Ronald Reagan. We need a brokered convention. Fight it out on the floor.
I no longer have a horse in the race. By the time the primary date reaches my state, it always over anyway.
When I was in hs in the 90’s my govt. teacher was a former lbj staffer so you can guess what that class was like.
However, he did teach us a lot about the american political process. He taught us that a party, at the convention, would debate the platform that the eeventual candidate would run on. Each topic in the platform was called a “plank”.
The delegates would debate, wrangle and argue, ll week until a platform was voted on a nominee was selected based on a comprimise by the delegates.
Now look what has happend. Only 4%, 4% of the states have voted and we’re being told who the nominee is going to be and what he’ll be running with. All we’re doing is electing a king. The next step down this road is that king taking over complete control.
This so called primary process is un-american and signals the end of representative govt.
