I understand and appreciate the humor. But we should all recognize that there is a real possibility that Paul's overt racism and anti-Israel attitudes, which approach antisemitism, along with his relationships with the most unsavory of the white supremecist community will be hung on the GOP should he make a couple strong primary showings. I was concerned about this 4 years ago, was wrong, people recognized he's a fruitcake representing no organized party. I've ignored the Paul threads this time round for that reason, but if he makes a showing the media and the Obama campaign, at the second tier, will be all over this. Not all over Paul, but all over what the GOP is "about". Not much to do about it, FR has been all over this fool for years. So far the only candidate who seems to be addressing the problem is Newt.
Well then, the Republicans should flat out disavow him for all the afore-mentioned reasons, and not be so afraid of ticking him off or that he’ll go third party. We need to do damage control now and everything we can to educate those who are sane and rational about his hateful and dangerous views. And our candidates should be vocal about this.
If our side is smart and stays a step ahead of the media on this, it shouldn’t matter so much if RP goes third party out of spite. There’s a high likelihood, imho, that he’ll do so anyway, but we have the opportunity to damage his “credibility” now, before it’s too late.

Agreed. Imho, FR has a few very vocal Ron Paul supporters, and continues to experience what seems to be a growing number of trolls who have come on to this site to promote him.
It is my opinion that nothing good can come of Paul's candidacy.
