The guys like Ron Paul were the very ones suggesting the same advice to our ticket when Dole ran and when McCain ran.
Both Dole and McCain were guys who the Dems loved, as they never tried to run on social issues...
McCain pointed out that he would not support the conservative agenda at all....
Dole refused to speak up in support of conservatives issues ....
Both Dole and Mccain, believed that they would just get the vote of all the conservatives, so they never tried to move closer to their positions...they never tried to draw the conservative voter.
Dole and McCain were thinking at the time, "Who else will the Christians vote for?
Both guys said that making an appeal to the country to consider social issues would be an error and would push people away.
Both were wrong!
The way to bring people to you is to take a moral stand!
Thats how you get people motivated to get out to vote for you....You frame the debate as being good against evil....
pro-life against pro-murder...
Im not surprised that Ron Paul thinks different than i do...after all Paul is not actually a Republican, he is a "Libertarian"....
So he is not reflective of the party, nor has he shown in any National election that his views are held by many people at all......
Ron Paul is what he is and always will be.....a side-issue guy...a protest vote...a pro-drug use vote....
In other words.....he is moot
