When you boil it all down and though they won’t admit it, here’s what those who complain about “Ron Paul people” really care about — GOP victory.

I'll admit it. GOP victory stands on three legs: economic, social, national defense.

Ron Paul has one full leg and one partial leg. One leg is missing.

But wait! There is more! If Ron Paul were strong on defense, much of his support would evaporate overnight. Why? Because he would not be useful to the left. The media would drop him. We would not see threads on leftist forums saying "Please Mother Earth, Let Ron Paul Win the GOP Nomination"

“But wait! There is more! If Ron Paul were strong on defense, much of his support would evaporate overnight”

Then NONE of the GOP standard bearers you prefer are strong on defense. None of them have any interest in defending United States territory.

Maybe Palin does, but the rest don’t.

I see the term “conservative” bandied about on this forum by people who agree, fundamentally, with the Democrats on the purpose of government.
