Another thought —it was more important to shut the Ron Paul people out of the process and appeal to some idiot demographic that regarded the hurricane as a major factor in their vote decision that they didn’t come to until the very last minute. Didn’t turn out too well — maybe we should try and embrace those that we can from that demographic. They aren’t a monolithic movement
Sarah Palin warned the GOP how many times to not shut Ron Paul out?
Palin and many others WARNED WARNED WARNED the Gop that disaster awaited if they shut out the Ron Paul demographic and some of his issues.
Guess what? Palin was right. Where was Romney on the NDAA? War on Drugs? Police State? Etc?
Answer - nowhere. Romney was the same as Obama on those things and the treatment of Paul at the convention made a few million paul voters to stay home.
Not me, I voted for RR.
However, if the GOP does not start adopting a more “PRO FREEDOM” agenda - we are finished.
