Here at NRB we’ve taken plenty of shots at crackpot congressman Ron Paul but we have not really addressed what’s ultimately one of the most obvious aspects of the perennial presidential candidate’s other failures:
Why might TX-14 Republicans want to replace Paul? They’ve gotten a little tired of the show:
“Where are you Congressman Paul?” reads the website of Tim Graney, a small business owner who is one of the Republicans running against Paul. At a debate last week, John Gay, another Paul challenger, took a shot at the congressman’s national political organization, Campaign for Liberty: “I applaud Dr. Paul for what he’s done and I want him to retire and do the things that he likes to do and run the foundations that he’s started.” …
Paul’s too busy running for President and trying to implement his 18th century utopia that he’s not actually being effective at representing his constituents. (Not that I expect this would bother Paul’s disciples in the slightest. Paul could eat a newborn baby for breakfast and they’d retort by calling us “Wilsonian imperalists” or some other such nonsense in response.)
Ed Morrissey at Hot Air also highlights Paul’s arrogance. He think’s it “his” primary — not the Republican Party’s. Read the whole thing.
