You do realize, I suppose, that the GOP braintrust (Talk Radio, Fox, Heritage) are about as hostile toward Ron Paul as they are against virtually any Democrat. Above all, the GOP stands for fealty to the Military/Industrial complex and will fight, tooth and nail, against anyone who would dare take DoD contractors off the gravy train. There's simply no place in today's GOP for someone unwilling to kowtow to Defense contractors.
