I respect him but he could never win. Problem is a certain percentage of the Tea Partiers would favor him over anyone else. My feeling is they are good for helping to win smaller, local elections but of no help at all with winning the presidency. The Tea Party movement really does turn off moderates and independents. And they vote. You need them to win. I don’t know who could win but it has to be someone most Republicans would like plus moderates and independents. That’s just reality.
Oh no, TEA PARTY EXPRESS, TEA PARTY NATION, and local grassroots Tea Parties do not support or like Ron Paul. He has his own so-called tea party-ers, who like to invade Tea Parties and hand out RP fliers. Tea Parties are mainstream (small government, fiscal responsibilty, strong national defense) and RP is an anti-war kook.
Like in Virginia, NJ, and Mass.? Are you looking at a leftist poll?
So why are Democrats trying to destroy it? Why is the liberal media attacking it 24/7?
