If all else fails, they will throw the R bomb on Paul. He, thru no fault of his own, pick up some rather distasteful endorsements in 2008.
Hey Paulites, name one single time Paul actually lead the congress and showed his leadership... Dude is old, he will be 77 in 2012... Get over it, find someone youthful with some charisma and a pulse, who doesn't get all excited like an old Barney Fife... What is really funny, is that Paul is more like a dictator in many ways than other pols, Paul just won't play effectively in the sandbox that is Washington D.C. politics...
Paul is clearly right wing, just as Ralph Nader is left wing... That they both often come off as wackos, is just the nature of those who never learned how to go along to get along...
Ron Paul is exactly what this country needs. In fact, we've needed him for quite some time now. Instead, we ended up with the antithesis of our needs.
DC is not a sandbox where kids learn to interact. It is a shit hole where adults have to force each other lower in order to keep their noses out of the sewage.
