Again, you don’t get it. Take you and I personally out of the discussion and step back and think. Even take Paul’s ideology out of the discussion.
American voters see the large proportion of offensive and wacko people enthusiastically promoting a candidate. They see that candidate’s signs along with the anti-war, anti-Bush and anti-American signs in protests. That turns off average, normal, work-a-day Americans. I know my first look at a Paulbearer gave me a “what the heck was that nut all about” thought.
Paul’s views have attracted the offensive fringe. The offensive fringe shadowing him is catching the eye of mainstream America and they are repulsed by that. The guy peaked when he was an unknown with a “revolution”. As he and his retinue become visible, he is being rejected. His cult may continue to push him along. Mainstream America rejects him.
American voters are also getting more of their information from the Internet, where such information is disseminated. They see these people flocking to Paul, and then they can easily review Paul's record and his speeches. They can compare and contrast Paul's record and statements with the kooks, and make their own decisions.
They see that candidate’s signs along with the anti-war, anti-Bush and anti-American signs in protests.
None of these people have been in attendance at Paul's campaign rallies or in rallies conducted by Meetup groups. I'm telling you. The hardcore, anti-war left and 9/11 Truthers are NOT supporting Paul. They are supporting Kucinich, Gravel, and to an extent Obama, because their style of anti-war is completely different from what Paul is advocating. Paul does not believe that our troops should be humanitarian relief workers in Africa or freeing Tibet; the anti-war left does. They support war and interventionism, but only if its for liberal pet causes like promoting "peace" and envirowackoism.
Paul’s views have attracted the offensive fringe.
And please define "offensive." Ordinary Americans who never gave a crap about politics before are now out there supporting Paul fervently, and they're dismissed as "kooks?" For years, the media and conservatives here complained about the sheeple staying home, but now Paul comes on the scene and awakens them, they should be dismissed as "fringe" then? What type of illogical bullfeces is this?
