I like Bill Kristol's "under 25" BS.

This is a good example of why Americans do not like Republicans.

They are grunting, snorting pigs.

They are obscene.

The neocons will work hard to prevent a libertarian from becoming president.

Irving Kristol was a trotskyite. Apparently the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

True, and this is why their candidate will fail. People are tired of the neocons and the religious "right" moralizers.

I would just love to hear one of these political pundits explain exactly why Ron Paul is such a preposterous choice for a candidate. I heard one of the sound bites say something about "a more conventional candidate". That's been the problem with our political system for the last 35 years. It's all about towing the party line and not upsetting the status quo...in both parties.

Sometime I believe they don't want people to think for themselves.

My favorite in that clip was the young Republican kid who said that it would be the culture warriors--- the Glen Becks and Ann Coulters---that would lead young people back to the Republican Party. What a fricking douchebag!

Is Fox News really that tone deaf? How in love with your own talking points can one news station be... The thing about Ron Paul is that his appeal isn't neccesarily limited to traditional conservatives. I know a lot of independents who aren't neccesarily Republicans who might consider Ron Paul in our current political climate.

I loved during the Republican primaries in 2008, when Ron Paul was making legitimate, logical arguments and the rest of the candidates just chuckled at him.
And look how that election turned out for the Repubs...
