Rick, there is no arguing with a man who refuses to use logic, so I won't. Calling him a "crazy old coot" does not make it true. And saying he still would have lost, doesn't make that true either. You are wrong, of that there is truly no doubt, but the fact is, it really does not matter. People like you are part of the problem with this country, and unfortunately, your numbers are growing. The idea that Republicans would have stayed home is so laughable that... Well, I don't have any more words than that. It is beyond comical.
Oh, and you still refuse to address the Constitution. Clearly, there are parts you don't like. Would you mind sharing what those are?
I have no problems with the Constitution but the paulbots saying RP would have done any better then anyone else in upholding it is completely stupid. He is a politician just like Romney, Obama, or any of the others. His history of leaving the party when he did not get his way and then crawling back proves that. His history on earmarks is even more proof along with racist remarks that he later blames on someone else.
As for him winning, not a chance. The only thing he can win on a national level his straw and online polls where his cult can stack the deck. I do not remember one primary or scientific poll where he got over 15% and in 99% of them he never got over 10%.
He would not have gotten the votes of us that favor a strong military, or those of us that are against legalizing drugs as just 2 examples.
