Do they welcome small-government libertarians into the fold or bitch and moan when they stay home and vote 3rd party?
This is all a bunch of sour grapes. Ron Paul, despite his flaws, ran a brilliant campaign in 2008 that energized the small-government movement back in the GOP. Many of his supporters are simply not the kooks and anti-war nutcases portrayed on conservative blogs. They're the same people who represent the Tea Party movement now.
Either welcome the small-L Libertarians or don't say jack when they stay home or vote 3rd party.
Ron Paul-——useless piece of offal.
“Either welcome the small-L Libertarians or don’t say jack when they stay home or vote 3rd party.” Yeah these are the same holier than thou folks who voted for Ross Perot in 1992.
Staying home is fine by me. Paul is a 9/11 truther amongst other things. That is reason enough to vote against him
