Re: Some thoughts on Iraq, the GOP, and Ron Paul
You're just wrong that Ron Paul represents Republican party principles on smaller government and taxes. Most Republicans want a slightly smaller government. And that's what all of the GOP candidates are campaigning for except Paul. But most Republicans are much closer to Democrats (who want a slightly larger government) than they are to Paul on this issue.
On a scale of 1 to 100, with the current size of government being a 50, most Republicans are a 45 and most Democrats are a 55. If Ron Paul is a 10, who do you think most Republicans will vote for between him and a Democrat?
