I guess some clarification may be needed
Speaking for myself, and no one else on this thread, I want to point out that I deliberately expressed my support for Paul strictly in terms of the severe limitations I see to whatever damage he might otherwise cause.
Limitations.
To.
Damage.
Again, this was a deliberate choice of rhetorical framework. I hope this calms the mouses and chum-hungry antipauliacs out there.
@RMP: Your questions are thoughtful and dead on. But just to be clear, I'm not the one to answer them specifically---I never heard of the guy before Jon Stewart noticed him. Clearly half of his supporters hover on the fringe.
But my blanket answer is simply that I doubt the Union is in much danger from Paul. Don't fear mere politics. Have faith in the Union you love. We are surviving the little chickenhawk emperor---we can survive 4 years of a president who isn't a chickenhawk. No president gets to decide the course of our country for generations to come, over just 4 years. Good medicine is rarely tasty.
