Republicans sure have short memories. It was just four years ago that they went to the polls in the primaries and elected the most "moderate" and "electable" candidate they could find in the hope that they had a man who was palatable to the general population. Their reward for their unprincipled pragmatism was an ass-kicking in the general election that few Americans will ever forget. John McCain and Sarah Palin certainly won’t forget it. Four years later, having learned absolutely nothing from the election of 2008, Republican voters are once again lining up behind the most moderate and supposedly "electable" candidate that they can find in the pragmatic hope that they can beat Obama in the general election. They have become so unprincipled and pragmatic, in fact, that they are lining up behind the very man who brought European-style socialized medicine to our fair shores, simply because they have been told that he is more "electable" than anyone else in the field. How they can expect an outcome that’s better than four years ago is difficult to fathom, unless they think that their new moderate’s plastic hair can compensate for his obvious blandness. In one respect, moreover, the selection of this particular "moderate" is even more ridiculous than the selection of the kooky moderate four years ago. This guy came in second place in the primaries to the "moderate" who got his ass handed to him in the general election. Think about that for a minute. This guy was moderate enough to come in second in the primaries two years ago, when the Republicans first decided to eschew principle and select a moderate, and yet he was deemed less "electable" than the guy who lost so badly. In other words, if the more "electable" moderate got his ass kicked four years ago, how badly is the second-place moderate going to do this time around? Here’s a novel idea for Republicans: Vote based upon principle, not based upon whatever the bobble-headed morons in the media establishment say is strategically expedient. Your strategic pragmatism got you nowhere four years ago. Young people and independents in this country are not any more impressed with bland flip-floppers from Massachusetts than they are impressed with nut-job moderates from Arizona. These guys don’t even impress Republicans themselves. If they want a "moderate" who stands for war and socialized medicine, they might as well stick with the moderate, warmongering socialist they already have. How about nominating someone who has a record of standing up for individual liberty for once? How about nominating someone who believes in the Constitution for once? How about nominating someone who opposes liberal nation-building and warmongering for once? How about voting for a real capitalist for once? In other words, how about voting based upon your own damn principles for once, instead of voting like pragmatic Trotskyites taking strategic orders from the political-media establishment? Forget this ridiculous, immoral and futile idea of "electability" and vote for Ron Paul and the principles of your own party.

Because it wasn't his turn. McCain was the runner up in 2000. He was the nominee in 2008. Romney was the runner up in 2008. He will be the nominee this year. That's how the GOP operates. Chris Matthews calls it the "relentless tyranny of the tedium of the Republican party".
Here is the history: The Democrats jettison their losers after one try.
. Let me help you to the actual truth erica. ESTABLISHMENT Republicans sure have short memories. For sure, they let RonniePAULIE who RESIGNED from the repukelican't partee because he despised Reagan, who has often in public stated that he is NOT a Conservative, that in fact he despises conservatives; who is self declared LIBERTARIAN, who actually ran as the LIBERTARIAN partee Presidential candidate; run as a repukelican't. Why would they do that? To KILL the CONSERVATIVE vote is why. The ESTABLISHMENT repukelican'ts HATE CONSERVATIVES even more than the ESTABLISHMENT demonRATS et. al. They will do ANYTHING to keep CONSERVATIVES from winning and controlling the repukelican't partee. Get it CULT boy? Or is your nose too far up RonniePAULIE'S azzhole?
Spoiled, stupid and ignorant, brain dead phuckwads, libTURD fools, tools, and idiots, are the real sickness; the messiah "king" obammy and his regime are only the symptoms.
Reagan was the last major conservative candidate. Herbie Bush libtards and fellow travelers took over the party after that. They merged in with the Dem globalist commies. Not much has changed since the founding of the GOP, and Ape Lincoln's corresponding directly with Karl Marx. For some reason Lincoln never gets the recognition he deserves for being one of the founding fathers of communism, and an early adopter.
Obama's watch stopped on 24 May 2008, but he's been too busy smoking crack to notice.
So if Ron Paul is the runner up. And he doesn't run in 2016-2020. Does that mean Rand Paul is heir?
I certainly think that Rand Paul could be a beneficiary of his father coming in second this year. But it's not the same as coming in second yourself.
that in fact he despises conservatives who is self declared LIBERTARIAN Got links that prove any of that?
. YOU CULT boy whores really are PITIFUL. There isn't shit all difference between you PaulTARD whores and the gibbering messiah "king" obammy's whores. You PaulTARD whores are just a different side of the same disgusting cult of personality coin. Are you TRYING to claim that your wee failed FRAUD hero did not RESIGN from the repukelican't partee because he despised Reagan CULT boy? Are you TRYING to deny that your wee failed FRAUD hero ran as the LIBERTARIAN partee candidate for President CULT boy? Are you TRYING to say that your wee failed FRAUD hero IS a traditional American CONSERVATIVE you gibbering CULT boy bitch? I'm sure that I could find links to it ALL. Would you like me to cut the crust off of your sandwich or tuck you in also CULT boy? Why don't YOU do it whore? Why don't you PROVE that he hasn't whore? Honest to God you CULT boy bitches are fucking brain dead WHORES. Why do ALWAYS have to LIE about your messiah whore? I despise WHORES. Most Americans do.

Are you TRYING to deny that your wee failed FRAUD hero Are you TRYING to say that your wee failed FRAUD hero No, I'm not saying anything. You're the one saying something. I'm just asking for proof of what you say. I'm asking for just ONE link to where Ron Paul "often in public stated that he is NOT a Conservative" or "that in fact he despises conservatives" OR "who is self declared LIBERTARIAN". You always say this off the wall BS then you think you're not gonna get called on to prove it?
. LOL! Simpleton CULT boy whore. Translation: I can show all sorts of EVIDENCE that your wee failed FRAUD hero is as I say. Of course even if the EXACT words were QUOTED from your wee failed FRAUD hero, you'd DENY them. Because you ain't nothing but another CULT of personality WHORE. And btw WHORE, I notice that you didn't even try to address the TRUTH of what I posted about what your wee failed FRAUD hero has done. It's ALL on the record WHORE. Not a F'ing "cut n paste" thing about it WHORE. Shouldn't you be getting ready to suck his wittle azz WHORE? Isn't it your turn at the azz WHORE?

I note that, as usual, you CULT boy whores have to tell a partial truth to defend your wittle failed FRAUD "savior". I bet that you believe that RonniePAULIE is just an innocent victim of HIS NEWSLETTERS eh whore? I mean he made alot of MONEY for YEARS and he just didn't know that sort of thing was being published in HIS newsletters eh WHORE? RIGHT? He was FRAMED! So here's a FOOL, who even if you believe his absurd LIE that he had no idea what was in HIS newsletters, shows that he can't even run ELEVEN people the staff of HIS newsletters. So THAT recommends him for PRESIDENT in what way exactly WHORE? Just one more question WHORE, when was RonniePAULIE LYING whore? When he ran as a the LIBERTARIAN candidate for PRESIDENT? or now when he is running in the repukelican't partee primary? I mean, which is a LIE? You gibbering supercilious hypocrite whore. Keep "asking" whore.

Translation; unless a PaulTARD has something EXACTLY stated by their wee failed FRAUD hero in a venue that they like, in words that they like, it didn't happen,(you nasty ol neocon you) RonniePAULIE was FRAMED! RonniePAULIE never wrote none of dem nasty pieces in HIS newsletters. RonniePAULIE couldn't keep track of what 11 people were doing IN HIS newsletters for DECADES. BUT, RonniePAULIE had absolutely no problem cashing the checks. Want to tell me how that is any different than the messiah "king" obammy sitting in Revrund WRIGHT'S racist "church" for DECADES and then claiming that he never heard nuthing! Tick tick tick tick ... You ain't gonna answer THAT are you whore? You CAN'T answer THAT can you WHORE? Want to call me names over what your wee failed FRAUD savior has done on the record whore? So, RonniePAULIE never RAN AS THE LIBERTARIAN partee PRESIDENTIAL candidate, right whore? So, RonniePAULIE never "resigned" from the repukelican't partee because as he STATED he despised Reagan, right whore? BUT hey NOW TARD RonniePAULIE is NOW a "conservative" AND a repukelican't running for the repukelican't nomiation! Ain't unicorns and rainbows jes wunderful erica? You pitiful WHORE.
