If nothing else it should be entertaining watching GOP statists try to convince the libertarian part of their base to vote for Rudy/Huck aka Baby Killer/Nanny Stater ‘08 and not for the Libertarian candidate.
The same people who laughed at the “leave me, my rights and my money alone” libertarians will be begging and pleading for us to vote for their idiot GOP establishment nominee.
Good point, because in the general election every percentage point of Republican turnout will be essential to victory. Like it or not, whoever is the Republican candidate needs every one of the Republicans and independents who are supporting Ron Paul today to show up and vote Republican in November 2008.
In fairness, there are plenty of pure anti-war single issue voters in the Paul camp. But the GOP would be making a mistake if they discount their libertarian GOP voters.
Paul won’t “win” in the traditional sense ie being sworn in as President. But he will be the best thing that has happened to the GOP in years by exposing young voters to the idea of limited government for the first time.
Are you kidding. Right now, these people are all anti-war leftists, Code Pinkers, white supremacists, etc according to the GOP bootlickers. But I guarantee you when the GOP nominee loses because these people stayed home or wrote in Paul's name, these same FReepers will be screaming as to why didn't they go out and vote for their statist candidate, WAAA!
