“I once like Rush a lot better than Paul”, I agree, Rush and Levin both seem to be welded to their self perpetuating life lines @ the GOP/RNC....both have become shills for the statist on the Right. Neither appear to be able to do more than rant at their opponents! It’s time for a return to actual Conservatism, not the Repug Con!
The next reasonable question would possibly be: How much does the Republican establishment need those who would vote for Paul?
If most of the comments on FREP that I've read about Paul are any indication, not many on this site care a whit for Paul and consider him an enemy as much as the Dems do. I don't know who I will vote for in the end, but it's kind of fun seeing all the liberal/progressives sweat in the GOP and the Dem party.
kook paul is comic relief proof of the MSM view of the GOP.
kook paul is their propaganda spin “insanity by association”
covering kook paul is just journalistic malpractice.
...I don't believe that but, that's the same sh!t a lot of us hear when we vote on the issues from FReaks like you...
...see ya...
You have, in a nutshell, summed up why the Republican party is going nowhere. You expel liberatrians a social liberals, when the libertarian view is to get government out of "social issues." Nothing is more abohrant to a libertarian than the Democrats. The fact that social conservatives see the republican party choices as RINOism or social conservativism, is a big problem, however.
But there is nobody like that. None of the other candidates has openly broken with the Wall Street-Federal Reserve bull---t.
A third party gives the win to Obama, but at the same time, I have no problem with people voting their principles if that’s what they decide they have to do.
I think Paul would not win. His foreign policy would undermine any national run.
I do think Rand Paul would make a great VP candidate, but he probably hasn’t been in Senate long enough....although Obama was.
I doubt Ron Paul as a VP candidate would help anything; his foreign policy would still kill the ticket.
77% of Democrats (and Ron Paul) Voted Against Rules Of Engagement That Protect Our Troops
