At their own peril they take such action.

I'm an independent. I think some of Ron Paul's ideas are crazy. But I also agree with him on other issues. And most importantly, I believe that he is the ONLY candidate from either major party who bases his position solely on what he thinks is best for the US. He's the only one who isn't a sellout. And for that reason, I'd vote for him. Its not like his crazier ideas would pass the Congress and Senate anyway.

The rest of the GOP field seems to consist mostly of despicable human beings and I wouldn't vote for any of them.

Having said that, I've never voted for the winning presidential candidate so the GOP is probably right to undermine the guy at every opportunity. If he wins in Iowa, they'll be planting dead hookers in every nook and cranny of his home....

What's the point of caucusing if your leaders and media tell you who is going to win? Why even bother with elections?

For the governor to discount a Paul win is to insult the intelligence and freedom of his entire state's citizenry. Everyone should take offense.

Fox has lost control of the Republican Party. Ron Paul is a hero if he never accomplishes another thing in his life.

Don't think it's just Fox, Danni. The left has been even more dismissive of him than Fox, especially in the debates. He'd make Obama look very, very bad on a lot of issues, just like he shows the Rep. establishment for the hypocrites they are.

Paul has evolved from the candidate to ignore to the candidate to smear. I wonder what the party bosses plan to do to take him out if they can.

Denial, then anger, then bargaining, depression, acceptance.

Next up would be bargaining- Romeny/Newt: "alright alright we promise we'll only double the pentagon budget instead of triple it, and only start two new wars instead of four if you'll drop out."

One thing this makes me notice.

Democrats focus solely on who is most electable rather then who is the best candidate.

Republicans don't focus on who is most electable (as seen in this case) and don't base their opinion on who is the best candidate, but rather who they like the most. I really think most republicans wouldn't vote for Ron Paul if he won the nomination. I guess they are not super partisan in the sense of just looking for the electable... but they sure are stupid in missing the best candidate in Paul simply because they like the others more in some other sense.

No wonder we get in such difficult situations with the countries policies and state of affairs.

The Republican establishment, though, is ONLY about electability. It's the Goldwater complex- they lost by nominating a man of principles in that election, and are intent on never ever letting that happen again. Now it's gotten to the point where they are so blinded by their need to win that they're incapable of remembering what they once stood for.

Good post Adammm...

Gingrich-Linked Propagandist Recycles Debunked “Racist” Ron Paul Smear

Establishment gets desperate as Paul surges into lead in Iowa

danni-FOX hasn't lost control. Their pet tea baggers are still doing what FOX and the RNC tells them to:

"An informal poll released Monday by the Tea Party Patriots, which bills itself as the nation's largest Tea Party organization, ranked Newt Gingrich first and Bachmann second following a weekend Tea Party Patriots Presidential Tele-Forum.

The surprise may be the top finish for Gingrich, the consumate Washington insider, in a forum of Tea Partiers animated by outsider angst. Then again, he' s not Mitt Romney.

The finish, in order: Gingrich, 31 percent, Bachmann 28 percent, Romney 20 percent, Rick Santorum 16 percent, Ron Paul 3 percent, Rick Perry 2 percent and Jon Huntsman 0.3 percent."

The surprise may be the top finish for Gingrich, the consumate Washington insider, in a forum of Tea Partiers animated by outsider angst.

That's because, regardless of appearances, the Teapublicans really aren't so concerned about changing the establishment. It's really all about getting rid of Obama.

What a breath of relief!! That is the most damning and strangely compelling aspect of the Republican mindset, imo - the ability to abide and believe intellectual dishonesty.

"He'd make Obama look very, very bad on a lot of issues"

Have you met the American electorate, especially where they actually elect the President, like Florida? Just ask RP how he feels about Social Security, and watch his FL numbers plummet.

-Just ask RP how he feels about Social Security, and watch his FL numbers plummet.

right, RP is just going to say, "I want to kill SS and kill all you fucking people too"

why is it the most ardent lifelong democrats, who have seen their party lose many many national elections they were SURE they wouldn't, believe a GOP candidate for POTUS will lose over an issue like that?

He might and probably will lose....but not over SS.

"right, RP is just going to say, "I want to kill SS and kill all you fucking people too""

I wonder how many cheers he'll get from the audience on that line.

oh, so you DO think he will say something like that......

"oh, so you DO think he will say something like that......"

I guarantee you, that's what the Floridians will hear. And for better or worse, Dems would hammer it home constantly.

You DO remember that when that "cheer" from the audience (3 people maybe) that was in response to the question...not anything Ron Paul said, right?

so you are admitting that the media will be in the tank for obama from the start, is that right?

here's to Ron Paul.

The only damaging affect is that the current status quo of the republican party will be shattered.. aka byebye bigots in conservative clothing.
