Why is Paul Running as a Republican?

[highlife]

He is a Republican because he is smart enough to realize that a third party canidate is not a viable alternative for pretty much any federal elected position. If he really wants make a difference as a politician, he needs to be elected first, and the only way to do that is as a member of the Democratic or Republican parties.

With that said, he has no chance of winning the nomination for president, so all this talk about Paul is getting really old.
