Of the many Paulites I have talked face to face with, and the many Code Pinkos I have countered in demonstrations,
The Paulites comments are no different than the Code Pinkos.
They both have the Left Wing talking points down.
I'm, I guess, what you call a "Paulite". I think of it as being on the libertarian wing of the Republican Party. If there isn't any decent (R) in the campaign I will vote (L). I held my nose and voted for Pete Wilson. I held my nose and voted for Michael Huffington (even to the extent of getting down on my knees and begging my mother to vote for him for Senator too - she was soooo angry at him for stealing Lagomarsino's seat). Even a loser like Huffington would have been better than DiFi.
I voted for Bush in 2000 because he ran almost as a libertarian. I did not vote for Bush in 2004 because he broke every campaign promise that I cared about.
I identify more with the Libertarian party because their platform supports more of what I want anyone else. When the Republicans do put a real conservative on the ballot, they have my vote.
You exemplify all that is wrong with the Republican Party today. You marginalize those who would be your allies and court those who really do not care one way or another. That's really the root cause of failure since President Reagan. There's no reason why we wouldn't have had either a continuous Republican in the White House since 1980 or at worst a Democrat who had to move farther to the right than either of the Bushes did.
Sorry, my CHL instructor is a Paulite- and he owns a gun store. He ain't code pink.
