Yes. I tried hard not to alienate Cain supporters because I didn’t want to turn them against my candidate.
But Ron Paul supporters are in a different class. they are fanatics mostly.
I don’t know what they will do in the end. I hope we can find a candidate with enough anti-big government leanings to attract some of them.
There’s actually a candidate like that out there and he’s another Texan.
I think that's great. I do wish that a few other people (some of whom have posted to this thread) would follow your lead.

I see that, too. But, if they could be co-opted by the eventual Republican candidate, that fanaticism could be converted into something useful.

I think that's what it is all about: Ron Paul's supporters are trying to effect a change in fiscal policy within the Republican Party. By making enough noise, they hope to get a coalition candidate to lean in their direction. That's what I mean by getting libertarians and conservatives to at least temporarily set aside their differences and concentrate on what they agree on: fiscal issues. It's what I think is most important anyway, at the moment.

I think Perry was done before he started. The only question is what candidate his supporters will switch to, and whether it will be enough to counter Romney.
