The Republican Party is in the middle of a battle for its soul and, thanks to the Ron Paul diversion, libertarians are not even part of the argument.

(emphasis mine)

Get off it. We weren’t going to be part of the argument anyways. Aside from Paul, there was never a single legitimate fiscal conservative in the race, let alone an honest-to-god libertarian.

You lose a lot of your credibility when you flail like this.

My predictions on the Dem side are here:

My Republican predictions?
It’s all over after tonight. McCain wins a squeaker in California, wins all of the delegate-rich winner take all primaries in the Northeast. Romney will win Utah, Colorado, and West Virginia. The Alaska caucuses go to Paul on the grounds that it’s frickin’ cold in Alaska and not very easy to get around. Huckabee wins Arkansas, Alabama and Georgia.
Mitt Romney cries over the amount of money he’s lost on his campaign.

Rush isn’t going to endorse Ron Paul.

Doesn’t anyone realize what he’s doing ? He’s an entertainer and a radio host, and he’s got everyone talking about him.

Winning may not be the only thing, but it sure helps sometime.

The Republican Party is in the middle of a battle for its soul and, thanks to the Ron Paul diversion, libertarians are not even part of the argument.

Further, when people for once shine a light on this process and the kind of thing that goes on regularly inside the parties that most people would be horrified by these same pundits will laugh at the silliness of actually trying to accomplish fair elections.

If their bleak predictions for Ron’s performance win out, they will laugh and possibly even cheer. They will then continue to complain about the government while the country circles the drain and never expend an iota of personal effort in the cause of liberty.

Many of the rest of us will invest every spare minute and penny we have in the cause of freedom, even if it is an imperfect candidate. We will do this because while it is our goal to win, winning is not all that matters. We will do this because we know the right thing isn’t always the sure thing, or the safe thing.

If that is the case, I predict a ton of “voter fraud” this year. Voter fraud will be rampant! A vote for McCain or Romney or Huckabee or even Clinton and Obama should be looked upon as a crime against America and dealt with swiftly.

A vote for anyone other than Ron Paul is a crime and should be viewed as treason.

A vote for anyone other than Ron Paul is Anti-American and those guilty of such an act should hang their heads in shame.

A vote for anyone other than Ron Paul is a vote cast by a weak, ignorant traitor that is willing to hand this fine republic over to Globalist criminals.

Take this country back you god damned fools.

VOTE FOR RON PAUL

Knee jerk reactions from anyone does make the IQ look a bit low, so I will merit the cynical outlook on some people just screaming fraud instantly without gathering the situation (on the other hand, NH is a valid case on both Democrat & Republican sides).

Ultimately, I predict things will get more interesting, for better or worse.

I would find it amusing if Limbaugh more-or-less endorsed RP since he doesn’t seem to like anyone else. Although, I’m not including a “lesser-of-3-GOP-evils” here, so who knows, he might go with Romney, despite no MSM candidates being real conservatives.
