Ron Paul Vs. Hillary Clinton Theme Continues

October 4th, 2007 by Steve

Fred Soto continued with the theme about which I’ve been writing lately: Ron Paul is probably the only candidate who can beat Hillary Clinton in the general election.  It’s a great article, and I’d recommend reading it.  However, he added a new dimension to the theme, one which I hadn’t thoroughly considered:

Don’t bother spending energy on taking over Congress, it’ll go to the Democrats with a strong majority in 2008. Republicans cannot overcome the negative Bush image now associated with the party. The pundits and partisans will insist that “Americans are not dumb, they know that other Republicans aren’t Bush”, but if you follow that advice it’ll be to your detriment, trust me! There aren’t enough sound bytes and political tactics in the world that could undo the damage Bush and his fervent supporters have done to the party, though, I know Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter will do their parts to give Republican pundits something to talk about.

What the party needs to do is FOCUS, the Presidential Elections are the GOPs only hope at victory in 2008. If you choose to ignore the facts and American sentiment, you’ll be in for a world of hurt over the next 8 and maybe even 16 years! This is serious, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama won’t give up on their dream of becoming President. They will sit in the oval office and if they team up, 16 years of Democrat’s ruling the White House isn’t out of the question.

I’ll add to Soto’s message.  The Republicans are very unlikely to control both houses of Congress, but if enough Republicans get behind the one Republican against the Iraq War, they may possibly win the White House.  Then there would be a check-and-balance against the Democrats. If Hillary wins, there will be no stopping of the Democratic agenda.

The question for Republicans who don’t currently support Ron Paul is whether they’d rather have Paul in the White House and Democrats controlling Congress or if they’d rather have Clinton and Pelosi teaming up to control their lives and wallets.  At least Republicans can be assured that President Paul would be wearing out a significant number of veto pens.  And it’s better than the alternative.
