GOP Contradictions and Ron Paul
...Paul explodes onto the national scene espousing just those ideas to which Republicans have claimed to be committed for decades. His fellow Republicans in the presidential primary contests of 2008 and today are no less reserved than is Paul in expressing their support of “limited government” and “individual liberty.” Yet it is Paul, and Paul alone, who is regularly treated by both his colleagues and their supporters in the so-called “conservative” media as persona non grata. Why?
The question is rhetorical: Paul is clearly the only one who truly believes in that of which Republicans speak.
At a minimum, he is the only one who recognizes that certain kinds of policies—like those suited for waging an interminable war against a vague enemy—are radically incompatible with Republican Party ideals.
Just by virtue of his presence, Paul simultaneously identifies the contradiction at the core of GOP politics and points the way toward its resolution.
Paul calls out his fellow partisans while hurling them on the horns of a dilemma. If Republicans really believe in the ideals to which they pay lip service, then they have no logical or moral option but to adopt the policies that Paul prescribes. If, though, they refuse to adopt these prescriptions by continuing along the path that they have been traveling for far too long, then we have no logical option but to conclude that their ideals are nothing more than rhetorical devices for procuring votes.
There is no slipping between these two horns: the dilemma is inescapable.
Republicans know this. This is why they have reacted to Paul as hysterically as they have. Paul is a whistle blower. The affable Texas Congressman and stalwart constitutionalist has aired the GOP’s dirty laundry for all of the country to see.
However, Paul is generous. Yes, he has shown that the Emperor has no clothes. But he has offered to provide clothing—and more. Paul seeks to adorn the GOP with those jewels—our Constitutional liberties—that its rhetoric would have us think it prizes. And he seeks to do this by charting a new course for his party and his country, a course that is in keeping with the spirit of liberty in which Americans have traditionally delighted.
Paul’s support among voters not only indicates no signs of diminishing; it continues to swell. As much as Republicans in the media would love to have us believe that the Paul phenomenon is negligible or vanishing, that Paul continues, and will continue, to accumulate delegates all of the way to the Republican National Convention exposes this line for the falsehood that it is.

I like RP and most of his ideas, but he has some I disagree with, and he is ultimately a bit of controlled opposition which will dilute the meager support for the republican incompetent they select to challenge the nightmarish fascist dictator we have now.
You can't win. We get 4 more years of what many regard as the worst ever.
Even if the people do support him they won't let him take office, but the average is completely bamboozled by the MSM lies so expect no change. Mittens will lose due to RP, and that is good, but since RP won't win it is also very bad.
