I can't stand Paul's position and I think he's the #1 RINO in the party not simply because he's anti-war, but because he is just like Neville Chamberlain.
Even so.
Last night, Ron Paul appeared on Jay Leno because Leno invited him after Fox News (correctly, in my opinion) excluded him from the debate Sunday night.
Leno asked Paul about a number of the candidates and when Romney came up, Paul volunteered that he felt some of the reason that Romney was beginning to do poorly was because of religious bigotry and that he hated to see that be the reason Romney gets rejected.
I agree and that is an admirable stance for Paul to take. Religious liberty does not get defended enough in this country and when it's evangelicals doing the slinging (*cough* Huckabee) that seems to be easier to excuse.
No, Romney should not be defeated because of his Mormonism. He should be defeated because he has never met an audience he didn't try to emulate. We don't need a chameleon in office.
