(62,325 posts)How about just blaming the actual reasons why someone like Paul has managed to get a national voice. And imagine if his Domestic Policies were not so crazy how much more support he would be able to get.
I agree with the OP. The way to shut Paul up is to find Democrats taking on the issues he is taking on so no Democrat will feel the need to support him or anyone else who comes along like him.
'Wooed by the idea of being anti-war'. It doesn't matter what is in Paul's head, most voters support people who say what they want to hear, they are not political junkies. What matters is what people hear politicians say.
I eg, am 'wooed by the idea of being anti-war'. War is not an idea, it has been a horrific reality with horrendous, tragic consequences for hundreds of thousands of human beings. It remains one of the most important issues for a majority of Democrats along with the root causes of all the current problems facing this country, money in politics.
Shut Paul up by having Democrats take back the issues that he is talking about.
