You comment makes no sense.
I don't share your contempt for the GOP, nor do I expect them to lose.
I certainly wouldn't blame cut-and-run conservatives and stupid Losertarians, presuming you're referring to Paul supporters. They're far outside the platform of the Republican Party, classic RINOs. If you're not supportive of the Republican platform in the first place, you really can't desert.
Besides, they'll have their own fringe party to support.
Perhaps I should have been more clearer. If Paul does run to the CP as a 3rd party candidate, there shouldn't be any whining here then, since the conventional wisdom says that only leftists/truthers/neo-nazis make up Paul's support.
So when the general election rolls around and if Paul does go 3rd party and causes the GOP nominee to lose, there'll be the usual gnashing of teeth and calling conservatives "traitors" (when, just a few months ago during the primaries, these conservatives were somehow leftist kooks).

All indicators point to the GOP being on the business end of a 1984-style butt kicking. In addition to the natural inclination of voters wanting to see the Democrats get "their turn," you also have the war that many Americans object to as well. Which is why Obama and Hillary have both raised over $100 million while the other GOP candidates raised a fraction of that. Which is why the GOP race is muddled with no clear front-runner. So yes, I have nothing but smug, haughty contempt for the GOP for abandoning conservative principles and not finishing the job in Iraq.

Paul's supporters are everybody, but mainly disenchanted conservatives and small L libertarians who are disgusted with today's GOP. If you seriously believe that only leftist kooks are Paul's base, you're smoking crack.

Yes, that may occur. Because for all practical purposes, it appears that RINOs McCain, Huckabee, or Romney are about to get the GOP nod. I wonder why Paul is still being bashed even though he placed 4th in MI. Couldn't be because he's outlasted Tancredo, Biden, Dodd, Richardson, Gilmore, Tommy Thompson, and could outlast Fred Thompson & Rudy if they don't win SC and FL respectively, right?
Who are the bigger RINOs in your opinion, Paultards or Giulianites?
I love it.
