“It’s brilliant politics for the Romulans to substitute a YouTube at their convention for an appearance by the real Ron Paul;” Rockwell began, “that way, they control the Ron who will be seen, in their ongoing attempt to coopt the Ron Paul movement into Neocon Party II.”
Rockwell continued, “Oh, and Ron — the final message will be — don’t let the door hit you on the way out.”
“The thing that makes you a Ron Paul person is an acute sense of crisis,” Doherty explained to The Daily Caller News Foundation. For many who see the current political scene in those terms, voting for Romney and becoming a “good, normalized Republican” are inapt solutions.
Doherty estimated that perhaps a third of Paul’s supporters would ultimately vote for Romney in November, though a larger percentage would back the GOP “whenever Republicans give them someone they could in good conscience vote for.”
