Yes, another disappointing pundit letter lamenting the Republican choice probably written by a guy who laughed & referred to Ron Paul in sentences that included words like “kook, Fringe & wacko” and instead wasted their votes 4 to 1 on an unnamed Republican “poser” with a mile wide long history of non immigration enforcement and or Socialism or no position on anything over Ron Paul.

Ron Paul a guy who’s spent his life defending the Constitution was rejected & shunned by the establishment as a kook.

What’s so scary about a Constitutional government?

A party whose only recent contribution, if it can be called that, is incoherent nonsense called compassionate conservatism, does not deserve to be elected. Liberals have their own party, so they don’t need the Republican Party as it stands, and conservatives don’t need it either. Defeat is always a chance to get rid of failed policies and failed leaders and bring it new ones. Conservatives should stop wasting time, tears and misplaced hopes on leaders whose only manoeuvres are the sell-out and the retreat and rebuild their party on real convictions that appeal to ordinary voters - remember the Reagan Democrats of the 1980s? They also need to be far more articulate and competent than George W Bush at his best - remember when the Republican President was called The Great Communicator? How quickly we forget. If conservatives can start remembering the things that worked so well and forget about the things that don’t then they have a chance to win back all the Reagan Democrats they won over in the 1980s and then lost, and that is a sure path to success. br> — Christopher Holland br> Canberra, Australia /p>
