Just remember this though: Paul's supporters are not going to be denied. If Paul is not nominated or treated like dirt from the GOP establishment, these folks are going to stay home or vote 3rd party. And their staying home will give the Rat the edge in the general election.
My advice to you guys would be to work with Paul and not against him, disagree with him on Iraq like adults, but revere him for his views of limited government and a return to Constitutional principles. Let him speak at the GOP convention. Ask him to endorse Hunter or Fred Thompson if you want to see the Republicans victorious in November.
Or you can bash him like you're doing now, laughing at him and his supporters, calling him names, kook, nut, etc. at this man who has been a devout Christian all his life. (And here I thought FR was a site full of respectful Christians) But when the feces hits the fan in November 2008, you same guys are going to be whining and moaning that "those stupid Losertarian" voters didn't vote for the GOP nominee.
Consider this my Opus from the Paul threads. Goodbye, and may God bless Ron Paul, America, FR, and our troops serving in Iraq.
