Dear Patriot, begins the six-page letter from U.S. Sen. Rand Paul, as the Kentucky Republican reaches out to conservatives in New Hampshire.
"Either get behind an establishment politician who isn't always with them - or stand with Ron Paul in truly taking back Washington." The letter sent to New Hampshire mailboxes last week from Paul, on behalf of his father's presidential campaign, takes a big swipe at former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, the poll front-runner for the GOP nomination. After a shout-out to the Tea Party, Rand Paul sharpens focus:
"It also isn't time to elect people who wake up every day wondering what they believe. And it surely isn't time to elect someone who passed the blueprint for ObamaCare while Governor of Massachusetts."
It will be interesting if the Romney campaign has any response, as he and his campaign have ignored other criticis so far. They say they've a laser focus on President Obama. In other words, it's part of being a front-runner.
The campaign mailer includes a sheet on which people can pledge support for Ron Paul for President or make a generous donation ... $5,000, $2,500, $500, and so on.
What is it that's supposed to be the last refuge of the scoundrel? Oh yeah. Patriotism. These fanatics are ruining the country. To hear Ron Paul get Tea Party backing, even if it is his son, is sad. Ron Paul has some good ideas on foreign policy. In a pinch I'd vote for him. It's his son that's a disaster.
