Yeah, I think you're exactly right.

I agree. After reading more and more about the SD-14 convention which I attended, I'm starting to see we need to work with the other guys that we come into contact with. They're NOT all neocons!!!

I'm SO angry at myself for not taking time off work to see the nominations committee this past week to be considered as a state delegate!! I had convinced myself there was no way I could be chosen as a delegate. I told myself my resume wouldn't have been good enough, I wouldn't be "Republican"...

Haha, the Congressman that spoke at our convention, Rep. McCaul, directly called out Ron Paul and made (positive) comparisons between himself and the doctor. McCaul was in fact appealing to Ron Paul supporters. It was great hearing neocons FINALLY acknowledge our presence!! Rick Perry also...
