Ron Paul Is Not a Republican
4th January 2012
John Hinderaker of Power Line issues a wake-up call.
I have already explained, here and elsewhere, why I think that Ron Paul is not just a fringe candidate, but a bad guy. I now want to add another point: he is not a Republican.
Hell, the Republican Party has been running semi-Republicans (and pseudo-Republicans) for President since Tom Dewey. (John McCain? Bob Dole? Ewwwww.) Some of them even won. (Elder Bush? Americans with Disabilities Act. Nixon? EPA, Family Assistance Plan.) Indeed, one could look back at Theodore Roosevelt and ask whether he was really Republican in the sense that Lincoln was. He certainly wasn’t in the sense that Taft (any of them) was.

Well said. Romney fits the pseudo -republican mold. Of course so does most of the field.
