In reply to the discussion: Why Ron Paul attracts some liberals. [View all]sabrina 1
(62,325 posts)I don't get the focus on a candidate that has no hope in hell of winning the nomination let alone, making it to the WH, when all this energy could be placed on the one who actually does have a chance.
Romney, Gingrich, Santorum all are far more acceptable to the Republican establishment than Ron Paul who they would kick out of the race if they could because what he has exposed is that there are actually Republicans who are sick of their Warmongering and catering to Wall Street because he is running in the Repub Primaries and has managed to state among the top contenders. This has to be a scary thing for them.
What it says to me is, there ARE Republicans who are opposed to the Bush policies and that those Republicans could be won over by the Democrat who offers them a place to go because that Democrat is speaking out against the same Foreign Policies, the same Wall Street Corruption as Paul is.
I'm amazed Democrats are not thrilled to see the opportunity here.
