“Another factor is that he has all these volunteers, over 75,000 meetup members that will work fanatically for him,”
Just like the brownshirts were fanatical about hitler during his rise to power.
“This grassroots activism is what wins elections.”
Really?
And how did howard dean do with all of that “grassroots” support he got?
Oh that’s right he FAILED!
YEAAARRG!!!
ROFL
And how did howard dean do with all of that “grassroots” support he got?
And how did the grassrots do in '94 with the Republican Revolution?
Oh, thats right, they WON.
With people like YOU out there, why in God's name would a Paul supporter consider voting for the Republican nominee? You've called them kooks, fascists, white-supremecists, Code Pinkers, and a variety of other names.
Guess what, if the Republican candidate doesn't get their votes, they'll LOSE the general. And I won't blame them either, because people like YOU have tried their hardest to make them feel unwelcome in the GOP.
People are tired of Bush and all his broken promises, his baby steps towards socialized medicine, his failure on social security, and his abandonment of Republican principles. We don't Huckabee or any of the other big government Republicans, we don't want an ever expanding federal government stealing our liberties piece by piece.
I probably wont vote for Paul, I'm willing to compromise with Fred. But I completely understand why so many support Paul so fervently.
Big difference. Dean's support, while grassroots, was driven by the campaign. This is not. Republicans have created a lot of p#ssed off conservatives who finally have a candidate saying what we've been saying for at least 20 years.
Just like the brownshirts were fanatical about hitler during his rise to power.
So a candidate whose message is freedom and liberty you compare to one of the most statist governments of the 20th century. I would try to explain your error in comparison but I'd be wasting my time. Good luck with your candidate. I'm sure he will do his utmost to advocate even more government intrusion. For 'our' health, or 'our' safety, or some such nonsense
