I urge non-Paul Republicans to try keep the party inclusive.
Come on, Unregistered. Many of the Paul supporters here claim no ties to the Republican Party.
In fact, many of the talking points referenced on this page are straight from Move-on.org.
It's strange...even some that claim a level of intelligence and normalcy are talking about a media conspiracy when they know their candidate lives at the bottom of the barrel when it comes to delegates. I hear very little about Giuilani anymore for instance, but I hear lots about McCain, Huckabee, and Romney.
The reason is simple: One of them will be the nominee. My opinion is that our discussion should revolve around which of these real choices is best for liberty.
I've said this all along. It's why I look at Paul supporters with a bit of mirth. Yes, we said he couldn't win. That was (and is) the point.
I think, if anything, the media has given the Paul campaign plenty of attention. Unfortunately, that attention is devoted to his supporters.
I can only give personal examples: My sister claimed Paul was on her short list. This changed yesterday after she ran into some Paul supporters. My sister rarely curses, but her description of Paul supporters had to be made after the kids were sent to their rooms.
And as for me? I supported Paul back in '98. As I've mentioned before, I've had dinner with the man. After reading invective here, and seeing supporters around town making nutball claims? No chance. You people made a staunch enemy out of a possible supporter.
Gun rights activists are part of the core of the Republican Party. Yet, as SteelCore's diatribe graphically illustrates, some of you people have no qualms about alienating us. Spectacularly so, as responses to Paul supporters prove. Don't think we don't notice most of your join dates. Pissing off gun owners will never be the path to the Republican Primary, especially when your candidate's stance should earn him gun votes. You blew it.
Explain this inclusiveness thing to me again, Unregistered.
