I really didn’t mean that as a value statement, so much as something of a, I don’t know, quick conceptual understanding of meanings of words.

And Ron Paul deserves to be fringe.

Without even debating the merits of Paul’s politics, “Constitutionalist” explains why Paul is a fringe figure:

Ron Paul is “fringe” because he’s not like the status quo we’ve come to embrace.

The very definition of “fringe”.

“But for the republican party to dig itself out of the hole its dug it’s going to take more than a fringe candidate to do it. . .But you are not going to build the republican party back that way. ”

What is “fringe” about the following:
1. In agreement with the majority of Americans, Paul would pull us out of the war in the Middle East. In addition, he would pull us out of Germany, Japan, Korea, and various other places.

2. Paul would dismantle the IRS and the income tax.
3. Paul would return us to Constitutional government.

The Republican party is in a hole because of its lack of fiscal conservatism, moral corruption, dangerous foreign policy, and big government socialism.

Ron Paul is “fringe” because he’s not like the status quo we’ve come to embrace - more government, more laws, more taxation, less liberty, less money, less free markets.

Oh pluuueeeezzzee. Look, I actually like Ron Paul. But for the republican party to dig itself out of the hole its dug it’s going to take more than a fringe candidate to do it. Paul can be dead on and wildly off on so much. Pross, despite his insanity, can be dead on too. But you are not going to build the republican party back that way.

And trust me, we could use a little house cleaning in the democratic party as well. But we are not going to do it on the fringe. It just doesn’t work that way for the average voter. But we got here, in this strange place in time, by the polarization that is today’s political environment.

You tell me… how do we move forward? I can tell you… it isn’t from the fringe. It’s just too frightening for the mainstream voter.

This is nothing more than another smear tactic by “party” Republicans against Ron Paul.

One stands for “party”, and RP for principle. GAP is no Ron Paul, and is not even close.

Big-government, out of control spending has damaged the Republican party, and until it returns to PRINCIPLES, we are going to suffer losses in the upcoming elections.

[...] don’t know what Mccranium refers to here regarding media coverage. Even a fringe figure of the stature of Pross warrants a trickle of media [...]
