I agree.
Ron Paul, 35 delegates - 1.6% of the total. Face facts, it's never going to happen.
You sound worried.
Trust me, pal. If there was one person not named Sarah Palin that I would like the GOP to put up against Obama, it would be Ron Paul. I can only imagine how it would look when the Civil Rights Bill issue is raised (because, relevant or not, it would be) and Paul has to stand 10 feet away from the first black President and say he still opposes its passage. I say bring it on.
Ah, so you're one of those liberals too. The kind who hides behind civil rights in order to get votes. I should've known. Mhm, using minorities and exploiting them for political purposes has been the democrats' ways since 1964. Too bad the bill wouldn't have passed without support from the GOP. People like Al Gore's dad were firmly against it. If you ask me it was just another way for the democrats to expand the federal government in the name of a noble cause. This time they hid behind civil rigths just like when it comes to education, they hide behind school children to expand the government in the name of helping kids. Those type of liberals make me sick.
How cynical and downright evil you sound. To even imply that liberals stand behind noble causes like civil rights and education simply to fulfill some evil plot to increase the power of the federal government is downright awful. The civil rights act was passed because african americans were living as second class citizens ten years after separate but equal was declared unconstitutional. And if you think I'm being too idealistic, just realize that most Americans, liberal and conservative, would cringe upon hearing Ron Paul declare his disapproval of the Civil Rights Act and then try to explain why. That's what would realistically happen, let's get real.
Oh, and p.s, don't think that any Republican elected into office in 2012 or 2016 would even come close to granting the current wishes of small government that the tea baggers think they want now. How quickly we forget the "small government" mentality of George W. Bush and the Republicans who passed the patriot act and took us into two hugely expensive wars. These teapartiers who are crying for small government were the same ones crying for the federal government to make gay marriage unconstitutional a few years ago and didn't say a word when Dubya drove us into debt. Criticizing "big government" will be convenient for these people until a white conservative is back in the white house again.
-I'm not saying they're all like this, but a lot are.
