Second, Ron Paul will not win the 2012 GOP presidential nomination, so there is no need to give him momentum. I thought the party supports whoever wins the primaries?

Perhaps ... if Ron Paul win Iowa, the GOP will "rationally" rethink it's selection of Primary States ...
The current slate of Primary States were selected because ... back in 1970 ... they ACCURATELY reflected the political mood of the nation ...
Neither Iowa or New Hampshire do that now ...
A better selection of Primary States for the 2012 (and beyond) races would be:
Florida, Texas, South Carolina, Pennslyvannia, Georgia, Indiana ...

I like what Ron Paul says but I am not sure what his stand is on Israel. Would he protect Israel from being destroyed by her enemies if it came down to it?

He is mad, bad and dangerous to know.
How anyone could vote in this creep for POTUS is beyond me.

Ron Paul Can't Be Allowed To Win Iowa So who will be "allowed" to win?
I consider it completely unimportant who in the party will vote, or how; but what is extraordinarily important is this—who will count the votes, and how. - Joseph Stalin

The title of the piece is sketchy - but the appeal is to the voters of Iowa, not an appeal to the party apparatus.

If The GOP didn’t re-think Iowa after Mike Huckabee won it......

I have no time for “he should not be allowed to win” type crap. Look RP is resonating with a certain number of voters, it’s called free will.
To: Sybeck1
Obama is more pro-American than Run Paul. Run Paul praises a traitor who sold the WikiLeaks garbage. Run Paul slurs our troops and rationalizes the attacks on Americans by al Qaeda, especially he did this with bin Laden. Run Paul is un-American. He hides it behind a folks, awe shucks, style like George McGovern did.

Paul attracts the same type of thugs as Obama, just different names and faces: Jew haters, skinheads, neo-nazi fanatics, leftists not aligned with Obama. Iowa must be the breeding ground for such blockheads. Too much high fructose corn syrup and ethanol or just genetic predisposition perhaps. Too bad that Rand Paul may be headed down the same path, I fear but hope not..

Great post and great summary. Run Paul is not a Republican and he’s not a conservative. He’s running under false pretenses. He is a dumbed down Ayn Rand follower with a Henry Wallace/George McGovern foreign policy. In short, he’s a fool.

Would he protect Israel from being destroyed by her enemies if it came down to it?Ron Paul abides by the reasoning of Washington's Farewell address with respect to elevating the interests of the United States above all other nations in considerations of foreign policy.
Do you think a nuclear armed Israel is incapable of defending itself? Why?
To: C. Edmund Wright
Iowa becoming irrelevant would be the greatest gift we could get from this year’s caucus.I agree, and I'm a lifelong Iowan. There is no longer an upside to Iowa playing any role in the nomination process... for either party.
Besides, I need a break- with each passing election, having gun show misanthropes and perpetual undergrad stoners yelling in my ear about Ron Paul becomes less tolerable.

Anyone but Mitt.
If Iowa sank into political irrelevancy as a result, that would be a bonus.
To: Kaslin
Ron Paul Can't Be Allowed To Win Iowa There are probably few people in America who oppose Ron Paul any more strongly than I do.
But, I have to ask, what are they going to do, not count his votes?
Could be. The Iowa Republican Party didn't count our votes in the last presidential election cycle.
Which is one of the main reasons I'm no longer a Republican.
