Jim DeMint: Why Republicans must become more libertarian

I’m not sure I understand what you’re getting at. How is it Ron Paul’s fault that most Republican Congressmen have the desire to increase spending? There’s little to nothing he can do about that.

Ron Paul got just one bill passed during his 14 years in congress, and that is the fault of everyone else except Paul? And yet somehow he has the experience and skills necessary to bring everyone together, be an effective president, and get us out of our current debt crisis. Tell me you’re joking. The presidency is about more than writing earmarks.

Weren’t all of them essentially non-binding straw polls?

Just keep spinning… unless of course, Ron Paul wins. Then its like a victory, or something. Amazing how that double standard works.

Sure is – if Paul won an obviously spammed online poll, whoo-boy! Paul loses actual elections, no biggie!

I laugh every time I see a screen grab of a spammed online poll that Ron Paul has “won.” I swear every Paultbot on FB has one on their profile.

And reviewing the current GOP platform, it sure seems like the Social Conservatives have won it all. I guess pretending to “win” on a blog beats the official platform of the party, in the same way.

Careful, Paul has 8 delegates and he’s not afraid to use them.
