Ron Paul's Iowa maneuvers place GOP in awkward position

43. I don't see it that way.

I think Ron Paul and his cult of followers are dangerous, period. These are the people that pushed the conversation further right. And, they'll continue to do so. In the 70s their goal was to take over both parties. I've got to dig a bit for that article.

"The new conservative group is non-partisan. Its goal is to muster up support for the conservative politicians in both parties and possibly mount an independent conservative candidate in 1976."

"When the Democratic Party has twice as much support as the Republicans, they should receive 50% of our resources Viguerie says. We don't have to move millions of voters into the Democratic Party, they're already there."

I have the full article on this..but I don't think I can post it because it is a pdf. http://select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F30910FC3C5F137B93C1A81789D95F428785F9

Richard Viguerie, Howard Phillips and Ron Paul have been tied since the 1970s...and this is what they were after. I don't think they've changed much since then either. I don't take my eyes off what the kook is doing, because they've got a method to their madness and what they are up to isn't good.

The Koch brothers and their ilk should concern everyone interested in democracy. Ron Paul ties to them in many ways. "The donors, like regulars Foster Friess and Rich DeVos." http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0612/77453_Page3.html#ixzz1yBT55vLs

The same Richard DeVos and his wife Betsy that funded Citizens United, which Ron Paul was a plaintiff on the side of.

The same Betsy DeVos that is involved with undermining public education. This is her group and if you click on "policy leaders" you'll see Ron Paul is there as is Howard Phillips. http://www.schoolandstate.org/proclamation.htm

And, Ron Paul's Superpac is located in Utah and was founded by Ladd Christensen, a person who gave big $$ to Romney and who is Jon Huntsman's business partner. Think they don't play together at your own risk.

The b.s. about Ron Paul being a victim of the GOP is the same b.s. they floated about Sarah Palin and Palin had a majority of Bush people on her team. It is an effort to gain sympathy.
