Lindsey Graham Says it Again: "Ron Paul is Not the Leader of the Republican Party"

[Flirple]

he's right. Dr. Paul is not the leader of the republican party. He's the leader of a philosophical revolution that transcends both parties. Dr. Paul is on a different wavelength. These guys like graham haven't realized yet that the political grounds have shifted underneath them.

So the good CFR senator is saying Rand Paul is the party leader.

Sort of reminds me of "The lady protests to much."

No Victory in Pride

Lindsey Graham received a standing ovation for defending the party's support of the war. Wow. If that's the sentiment of most Republicans in South Carolina, then I think promoting Dr. Paul's ideals for non-intervention foreign policy in that state is going to be a tough battle, to say the least. They're more excited about "winning" than they are about principle. Where do you even begin?

By making them lose, badly, again and again and again.

Until such time as they get it pounded into their collective thick heads that they cannot "win" without us.

And to get us on board, it will require changing the tune, radically.

TARP. The Stimulus. Illegal Immigration.

Wow. RP is gaining stature. The "first they ignore you" phase appears to be drawing to a close. Nothing would make me happier than for all of the GOP hacks to keep announcing to large groups of people: "Ron Paul is not the leader of this party!" It's like telling a bunch of kids to not do something. Whaddya' think the outcome will be?

Ron Paul is becoming a force right in front of their face and now they are trying to fight it. It's the only logical reason behind Graham making it a point to say otherwise.


"First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, then you win." - Mahatma Gandhi

I'd say the above underlined words are where we stand. The last 2 years the neocons ignored and ridiculed Dr. Paul. Now they are trying to keep him from becoming a leader within the party. They will fail. Victory is near.

Fuck Linsay Graham. He is not a Republican, he is a rightwing Democrat just like John McCain.

Sorry for the double post but when Graham says he's of Reagan....

Here is an interview Reagan did with Reason Magazine in 1975 where he brings up libertarianism. After reading this, who would you group Reagan with - Paul or Graham?

http://www.reason.com/news/show/29318.html

REAGAN: If you analyze it I believe the very heart and soul of conservatism is libertarianism. I think conservatism is really a misnomer just as liberalism is a misnomer for the liberals–if we were back in the days of the Revolution, so-called conservatives today would be the Liberals and the liberals would be the Tories. The basis of conservatism is a desire for less government interference or less centralized authority or more individual freedom and this is a pretty general description also of what libertarianism is.

Now, I can’t say that I will agree with all the things that the present group who call themselves Libertarians in the sense of a party say, because I think that like in any political movement there are shades, and there are libertarians who are almost over at the point of wanting no government at all or anarchy. I believe there are legitimate government functions. There is a legitimate need in an orderly society for some government to maintain freedom or we will have tyranny by individuals. The strongest man on the block will run the neighborhood. We have government to insure that we don’t each one of us have to carry a club to defend ourselves. But again, I stand on my statement that I think that libertarianism and conservatism are travelling the same path.

Unfortunately, Lindsey Graham doesn't actually give a flying rat's ass about Reagan or what Reagan said or thought. Graham only likes the effect that the Reagan name-dropping has on the ignorant Republican populous.

Yup. That's why a quote like the Reagan one I posted needs to viral to make Graham look like a dumba$$.

Sweet. Looks to me like Sanford is making a B-line 180 degrees away from the GOP hacks like Jeb Bush, Bobby Jindal, and Mitt Romney and very much wishes to identify himself with the new emerging Revolution GOP. It's a bold step for him to invite the libertarian label. I'm impressed. Hope he's not playing us with the intent to move back to the center.

Has Sanford dropped a lot of weight in the last couple of years? He looks great, but much thinner than I remember..

if we are going to save the GOP from utter destruction. then it must be rooted in libertarian beliefs and actual republican smaller government issues.

We need Sanford and other GOP members to get on board asap, so we can distance ourselves from the burning part of the ship(aka neo-cons).

 

[purplechoe]

He must be brought down! Anyone running against him?

He just got reelected.

He beat out our liberty friendly democratic opponent Bob Conley last year.

That must have been a tough loss for Conley. He fought his butt off but in the end, fascism prevailed.

I would like to see Ron Paul on FOX, or any other network defend himself to Lindsey Graham. I would love to hear Ron talk about Reagan, and how Liberty is American, and Republican, and how this talk is shrinking the party.
