Ron Paul, Future of the GOP? by Doug Dingus opednews.com May 16, 2007 at 10:07:29 opednews.com In a nutshell, he came on strong again, in South Carolina no less! I sat there in a state of shock, realizing that right there on FOX news, I was seeing the lone voice of reason. A real conservative voice actually engaging the debate, pulling no punches. Not only did Ron Paul get after it, he got it done and with style! IMHO, Paul represents what I think will evolve into a GOP schizm. Essentially, we've got real conservatives, who are likely reaching their breaking point with the GOP, and the neo-conservatives currently dominating the party as a whole. Something has got to give. Based on the various polls and surveys, that something is gonna start with Ron Paul. Take a look at these: Paul dominates Debate in every catagory that matters (From MSNBC): msnbc.msn.com Ron Paul not only stands out, but stands way out by a significant margin. Ron Paul delivers a solid spanking to the GOP base, right on FOX news: crooksandliars.com FOX: "Are you running for the nomination of the wrong party?" Ron Paul: "Y-You have to realize, the base of the Republican Party shrunk last year, because of the war issue, so that represents less people." That's priceless, and it gets better folks! Normally, I would not recommend watching the GOP debate. This one, however, is a must see! By himself, Ron Paul highlights all that is wrong and corrupt with the GOP today. His answers are reasoned expressions that resonate with a lot of Americans, no matter their core ideology. The others appear stiff, rehearsed and generally uninspiring. Of course, that is exactly what they are intended to be, so as to not disturb the status quo. Enjoy the entire show here: (share it with your conservative friends) foxnews.com Edit: Seems FOX moved the debates. I found another copy here: foxnews.com I would end this article with an observation: Ron Paul has a pair as big and brassy as Stephen Colbert does. Where is Stephen Colbert when we need him. Go on over to the Colbert Nation [ colbertnation.com ] and start talking up Ron Paul. Stephen really needs to get him on the show. Of course, Colbert is gonna nail him for running with the wrong party, but he then presents Ron Paul with a chance to suggest a different one, or perhaps just get the idea out there that we could have a much better GOP than the one we have today. Maybe some attention to his anti-lie and ant-war views would cause that schizm to begin in earnest today. (My apologies for the changes in the last two paragraphs. Went to update FOX link and somehow got the article clipped.)
