I have already published a number of items on this blog that should tick  the whole lot of you off to no end.

Yet, other than the lone, typical, worn out  "Ron Paul is a nut" non-starter, I haven't seen a single response from anyone attacking anything I have written with substance, facts, and logic - yes the very same things conservatives pride themselves of (or used to pride themselves of, at least).

There is a saying that goes: "If by the time you are 30 you're not a liberal, you have no heart. If by th time you are 40 you're not a conservative, you have no brain."

I have generally found this to be true. People who use their brain more than their emotions tend to be conservative. So, what happened to conservatives' brains when it comes to Ron Paul?

Many who consider themselves conservative either go into a frothing-at-the mouth diatribe against him - or they simply shut up and act superior. "Bah! He can't win" is the common response. If that was true, people wouldn't attack him, Fox wouldn't exclude him from a "roundtable" debate the night before the NH primary even though he beat Thompson in a scientific pre-primary poll, and even though he out-fundraised every other Republican candidate in Q4. Also, Jim Kirchick wouldn't have written that smear piece against him. Paul keeps beating Thompson and Giuliani in early primary state polls. Giuliani was the unquestioned front runner only three months ago. Now, where is he?

I am not doing this because I think I am such a 'great debater.' I know I am not. What I am doing is to really, truly find out what exactly it is that some conservatives are hung up on when it comes to Ron Paul.

Take a look at Glenn Beck. He once detested Ron Paul. Since the interview with Ron on his show, Glenn actually brings out a lot of people who agree with Paul on ky issues, especially the economic ones (i.e., the head of the US GAO, the author of the book "Financial Armageddon" who was on Glenn's show today, and several others). Why do you think that is?

Richard Viguerie, who used to be completely mum on Ron Paul has built him an entire web site - for free. Why? Because Richard knows a thing or two about Republican sell-outs - like you-know-who!

If you know that you have no real reason to vote against Ron, why do you still want to vote against him?

What is your real concern?

How do you think a Ron Paul presidency will hurt this country?

Surely, you must have your reasons. Why don't you verbalize them and post them here?

I'm waiting....
