You really don't get it, do you.
This post (not yours, from JimRob) just confirms how weak the GOP field is.
Both Hillary & Obama have raised over $100 million last year. How much have Rudy, Romney, McCain, Thompson, and Huckabee raised?
Democrat primary voters are beating the Republican voters more than 2-1.
There's a serious dilemma here that will do the GOP in come November:
- They have completely abandoned traditional conservatism in favor of authoritarian statism & sell-out to big corporations
- Most Americans, unfortunately, oppose the war
- The Republican candidates besides Paul aren't addressing the weak dollar and inflation
Without the libertarians and independents, the GOP is going to lose in Reagan/Mondale proportions.
Are you proposing we support Paul?
I think you're correct, but you forgot to add the many conservatives who have no intention of voting for a candidate just because of the "R" after his name.
You are sorely mistaken if you believe that the reason the Republicans have no $ this cycle is because the libertarians and independents have stopped funding them. The Wall Street and Beltway Boys have sent their $ to the Democrats. That's why any Republican who gets the nomination will be accepting matching funds from the gov't and will be outspent about 10-1 by the Democrat candidate.
