If the Pubes nominate ~~"same as all the rest"~~(R), then we get what we deserve, a lib by another name!
If we get some REAL rock ribs on the ticket, the left will melt under their own divisions.
If enough 'Rats/Greens/Commies vote in the GOP primaries, they can ensure that the nomination is not decided before the convention and make Paul the "king maker." And that would be a disaster.
Food for thought on one source of Ron Paul’s appeal (from a email, so take it with a grain of salt):
Tax his land,
Tax his bed,
Tax the table
At which he’s fed.
Tax his tractor,
Tax his mule,
Teach him taxes
Are the rule.
Tax his cow,
Tax his goat,
Tax his p ants,
Tax his coat.
Tax his ties,
Tax his shirt,
Tax his work,
Tax his dirt.
Tax his tobacco,
Tax his drink,
Tax him if he
Tries to think.
Tax his cigars,
Tax his beers,
If he cries, then
Tax his tears.
Tax his car,
Tax his gas,
Find other ways
To tax his ass.
Tax all he has,
Then let him know
That you won’t be done
Till he has no dough.
When he screams and hollers,
Then tax him some more,
Tax him till
He’s good and sore.
Then tax his coffin,
Tax his grave,
Tax the sod in
Which he’s laid.
Put these words
upon his tomb,
“Taxes drove me to my doom.”
When he’s gone,
Do not relax,
Its time to apply
The inheritance tax.

STILL THINK THIS IS FUNNY?
Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago, and our nation was the most prosperous in the world. We had absolutely no national debt, had the largest middle class in the world and Mom stayed home to raise the kids.
What happened? Can you spell “politicians?”
And I still have to “press 1”for English.
That’s because they don’t have any votes to take. LOL (just kidding, sorta)
Tancredo and Hunter are polling worse than Paul among conservatives. I understand Paul’s problem, leftist anti-war talking points.
But what’s the problem with Hunter and Tancredo, other than both seem one track pony’s on the border issue, and both are also career politicians like Paul?
