The more "RINOs" and "DINOs" we have, the closer we are to a legit 3rd party (A pipe dream I have...).

Ron Paul a RINO?? Huh? So you think he is a liberal democrat then? Or a war-mongering neo-conservative? Okay...

See that little field in the upper right corner saying "NationalJournal"? If one were to Google that and check the source, one can find out all sorts of things. For instance that CNN was citing "a survey of Republican and Democratic political operatives, campaign consultants, and party strategists".

NationalJournal.com - EXCLUSIVE: Political Insiders Give Debate Nod to Romney, Bachmann - Tuesday, June 14, 2011

"deprecated"? They reported - correctly - on the findings of a focus group.

And if it's any consolation, the same group considered Pawlenty - not Ron Paul - the loser of the debate. So there is that.

Didn't have to assume anything. You stated quite clearly that if Paul isn't a Republican that he must therefore be either a, "a liberal democrat... Or a war-mongering neo-conservative."

If that wasn't your implication, then it is you who have made an arse out of yourself by typing a poorly expressed thought....

If it was? Then you made an arse out of yourself with this most recent post. LOL!!! Doesn't look good for you either way.

Considering the amount of applause Paul got, it would take a focus group of political morons to ascertain that he somehow lost.

Meh, just a grandfather who got the most applause out of anyone on the stage.

But, when you have political morons being polled, what could go wrong?

Well, you wouldn't want to show that poll on television. People might the wrong ideas or something.
