Just as a practical note, Republicans can’t win without them. As a political argument, Paul might as well be saying there is no reason to nationalize debates about the right to life, or property rights. Never mind free speech or the 2nd Amendment, all those things social conservatives think are important. Ron Paul is a nuisance.
Good point. The Left, libertarians and fake republicans try to marginalize and belittle conservatives (WHOLE conservatives) but the truth is that they are a HUGE voting block. Impossible to win any election without them.
Romney remains the only candidate I will NOT vote for if he gets the nom. I will even vote for Paul (gag!!) but I'll have to take 20 iodine baths afterwards (I took 15 when I voted for McCain.)
