Default Re: Why is Paul Running as a Republican?

[ QUOTE ]
elwood,

Are you being deliberately dense? He ran as a Republican because he's not an idiot. Only Republicans or Democrats can be elected to any office higher than County Water & Soil Commissioner.

Yes, I am being deliberately dense. I always thought this was the reason why he was running as a Republican --- pragmatic reason alone --- not because he truly views himself as a member of the Republican Party. He's a RINO. I think we can agree on that.

My ultimate question is do you think that by running as a Republican he is hurting his ability to effectively run as an idealist. I think it does.
