The war is not the defining issue of party membership. If it does become the defining issue, instead of limited government, the Reagan coalition will have died and more socialists like Mike Huckabee will infect the party.
If you think that opposition to Paul is based solely on his war stance, you are incredibly short sighted. Paul is simply out of step, and not only that. His association with hate groups over the years disqualifies him from any decent organization.
Do your homework. If you oppose the hate groups, you shouldn’t support Ron Paul. Of course if you support them, Paul is your man.
