They don’t get it ...not a clue as they are led down the garden path. They would rather mittens than Paul, a sad state we find ourselves in.

Keep in mind that FR represents a slice of the population. A lot of these folks are trying to reconcile themselves to the idea that the gop will nominate mitt, who does not represent their views very well. I think the bulk will do what they’ve always done; vote for the gop nominee regardless. But they’re trying to rationalize that. And it’s tough; mittens record is not conservative in any real sense of the word. As my site handle and tagline would indicate, supporting the gop has never been high on my priority list. I support conservatives.
Ron Paul does a lot better with the general population than he does with FReepers. And thus he will do better in the primaries and potentially the general election than these anti-Paul threads would seem to indicate.
Interesting thing I’ve noted, though, is that while most of these threads started with few people disagreeing with the “Ron Paul is _____ !(add the derogatory comment of your choice)” theme, I’m finding more FReepers stepping up to the plate and challenging that. That’s good news. It also makes these threads a lot more interesting. Debate isn’t any fun if no one is actually disagreeing.
