An Open Letter to Ron Paul

04-09-2012 • http://lewrockwell.com, by Justin Raimondo

A lot of my readers are big fans of yours: on those rare but pungent occasions when I have criticized you, I've gotten lots of "blowback" in the comments section and in emails sent directly to my inbox. Whenever I praised you, I've enjoyed a veritable avalanche of favorable feedback. I can't tell you how many conversations I've had with non-libertarians who praise you to the skies. Many people beyond the narrow confines of the libertarian movement are watching your campaign with great interest, and rooting for you – especially those who are concerned about our foreign policy of perpetual war. A lot of these people are not actually registered Republicans – although some have registered just to be able to vote for you – and that appears to be part of the problem.

You've captured the youth vote in practically every contest, while losing among the older set and among hardcore Republican voters. In short, the demographic you do best in winning over is the least likely to be able to vote in a closed Republican primary. I would estimate that roughly two thirds to three quarters of your constituency is outside the ranks of the GOP.

This author, Justin Raimondo, is nothing but a rat to Ron Paul. He thinks he's being subtle, but he's actually trying to promote this Americans Elect which is just a scam of stealing Ron Paul delegates. Don't tell me this author is so stupid he hasn't done the research on Americans Elect and KNOWS who's funding the scam to steal delegates away from Ron Paul. I wouldn't buy it.

Justine, you're nothing but a traitor to freedom.
