Two things everybody agrees upon,
(1) the GOP establishment needs to be deconstructed and
(2) Ron Paul is the most likely candidate to damage the GOP
establishment.
I don't know about everybody, but that's where I'm finding myself, thanks to the GOP establishment and Mitt Romney. I feel like my choice has been taken away. I would have supported Palin, or Bachmann, or Paul Ryan, or perhaps some other adequately conservative person not declared. But they destroyed the ones they found unsuitable, and convinced others like Ryan not to run. Now I'm left with having the unprincipled liberal Romney shoved down my throat while Gingrich, Santorum, and Perry divide the conservative vote, or throwing my support behind the guy who's so damned conservative he turns conservatism inside out and upside down to prove it.
I am dreadfully unhappy with this situation. At just the moment in American history when the nation needed a conservative to lead us away from National Socialism, the GOP has failed the country. I am not surprised, but after 2010, I had hope. Now my hope is in destroying the GOP establishment from the inside, and praying that it's not too late for my children and grandchildren to live in the free nation I was blessed with.
At the beginning of this season I looked forward to a heady contest between
Bachmann, Cain and Perry, then, as Pandora said, "they started talking".
At this point, in this thread, I'm enthusiastic about Paul running through
the Party with a monkey wrench.
We, the Tea Party, and public opinion polls have told congress they are not
representing us. They've told us they intend to do as they please. The only
two candidates who have consistently proved they will do as they say are Perry
and Paul. I don't think Perry is going to pull out of his dive ::sad:: so I will enjoy
the thought of Ron (the Tasmanian Devil) Paul wreaking havoc on the statist GOP.
