If Ron Paul were as cheap and personally vicious as some conservatives, you would be right. As it is, he is saying more like "This is what WE said all along." He is not so much about "winning" as he is being on the side of truth. He is one of the most gracious men I have ever met.
Conservatives and the republican party should be ashamed of the lies they told about him, stupid stuff like being a "truther" or "pro abortion" or worse.
That stuff only goes to show what complete and utter kool aid drinkers some conservatives are.
