RM, all I’m saying is that Paul deserves a seat at the table too. Some of the views he has are valid, and they’ve been ignored by the GOP for years. Now if you want whoever is the GOP nominee is to win the election, you’re going to need Paul’s support and the army of people that’s supporting him. Where are the huge rallies for Fred? The money bombs? The passionate support? AIN’T NONE, OK? Antagonizing Paul and denigrating him is counter-productive. DO YOU WANT TO WIN OR NOT??
>>>>>Where are the huge rallies for Fred?
Obviously Fred hasn't caught on like I thought he would. After a good lead up in the polls to his official announcement and a solid October. Fred seemed to hit a brick wall. The pounding from the mainstream media and the hammering from the so-called rightwing punditry, helped to drive down his numbers. Fred isn't the best campaigner, but he does have the most viable conservative message of all the candidates. And that is the problem. Fred`s overall message is being obfuscated and undermined by political operatives who don't want to see a conservative get the nomination and possibly become the next POTUS. The RudyBoosters over at Fox News are the best example of that. They've given Rooty multimillion's in free advertising. Sean Vannity has practically made Rooty the co-host of his radio show.
Actually, none of the candidates are pulling in huge crowds. Paul has had a few, but that has more to do with his hyper-extremist supporters, then a consistent campaign message which appeals to more voters. According to reports, Rooty doesn't really do retail campaigning anymore. He just shows up to townhall meetings. That is his best venue and that is where he's having success. Romney does more retail politics than anyone and along with his millions in advertising, his message is getting out in the early primary states. Huckabee has won over most of Fred`s lost socon supporters. The Tancredo and Hunter campaigns are on life support and McCain is hanging on for dear life.
Bottom line. If we don't start letting go of those candidates who can't get the nomination, we'll be left with the worst choice of all. Rooty as the party standard bearer would deal a seriously blow to the Republican Party for years, if not decades to come. Many conservatives would quit the GOP, while others would simply not vote for Giulaini in the general election. Leaving Hillary and the Democrats a wide open opportunity for easy victory.
Same question backatcha: "DO YOU WANT TO WIN OR NOT??"
