I’ll say this about Ron Paul:
I admire that he sticks to his convictions and I wish more Republicans would instead of being so wishy-washy. Paul is willing to take the heat for an unpopular position rather than be squiahy about it and I admire that about him. You’ll never question where he stands, good or bad.
Of course, when you have represented nothing more than a congressional district, you have more liberty to be a gadfly than if you hold statewide or higher offices.
Is this more about organized chaos, Republican style? Seems Senator DeMint could have come up with this bright idea at a more opportune time and earlier on than now, while the Establishment sees zero enthusiasm for their annointed one, Romney, and we are at the door of South Carolina already. That is too deep into the primary to leave the Establishment comfortable, what with the sheeple still boosting between three other conservatives, who neither hate Israel, nor worship at the feet of business as usual.
The best and ONLY shake up man among them is Newt, for all his flaws of the past. He has been known to burn even his own in the past and that time has come around again. Be banished all of them who have bought this sorry outcome and now are squirming in fear.
