RE: A landslide for the Lizard Queen

Vox Day opines: "Last week's Republican debate demonstrated the massive problem facing Republicans in 2008, as Ron Paul was the only candidate with the constitutional fortitude to face up to the fact that the Iraq war is an electoral disaster waiting to happen. It's absolutely bizarre, as getting eviscerated in last year's congressional elections should have been more enough to convince the Republican Party that building Islamic democracies is not on the short list of the American people's most heartfelt wishes, but it's now clear that most of the Republican candidates are more committed to nation-building in Iraq than to the Constitution or preserving our own nation."

Personally, I believe the GOP losing control of Congress last year had more to do with out-of-control spending and the president's stance on immigration than it had to do with the Iraq war. Ron Paul's appeal to me has to do with his beliefs on domestic policy more so than his beliefs on foreign policy.
