What doesn’t make sense is your entire ‘response’ to me. You, like many others whose entire campaign is about attacking any possible vein of support for Paul, refer to me as a “Paulbot.” Frankly, I can see supporting other candidates if they win the primary. I know darn well that many of you would never do the same for Paul or anyone who held his political platform, no matter the person. Seems to me that you are the cult types, because you expect us to worship at the altar of the GOP 24/7, while you are only held to that standard when it’s a candidate you like. It is shameful that you’d malign Paul and his supporters if they decide not to stay within the GOP if he loses, all the while you trash them personally.

But then, this happens time and again from milquetoast “Republican” supporters of Powell, Ah-nold, Cain, and lately, Gingrich. It’s always the other folks, those pointing out the shortcomings of your current cause celebre, who the are ‘cultists.’ That the candidates being derided are caught out in clear political snafus or worse, policy differences from the mainstream and the GOP primary voter, well, that’s all window dressing and “electability” is far more important. Until you dump the ‘electable’ types for someone better (i.e., whose policies are more unknown). Who are you supporting today? Santorum? Who was it last week? Perry? Cain? Huckabee?

That generally did not make sense, but you've got this part this right:

Absolutely not - I will not support a candidate who openly endorses and campaigns for Code Pink Activists, 9/11 truthers, etc. Not a platform any reasonable person could vote for.
