They Just Love Ron Paul Down There  

I do not understand why he had primary opposition. Also why did this post get tagged mature content. Sure I think we should all be mature here on MyLot but that is not the mature that tag is referring about.

I have no idea how the mature content tag got on there. I did not put it. I usually don't tag my responses.

As for why he had opposition....there are some in the republican party that don't like him and would like nothing better than to get him out of office. But it looks like a HUGE majority of his district don't agree...I am glad. We need more poeple like Ron Paul in office...not fewer.

Oh I was not saying you placed the tag, the tag got place right after I posted this discussion.
I did some studying about Ron Paul, back in 96 the National Republican party supported a former Democrat, Greg Laughlin instead of Ron Paul. This included George H.W. Bush and Newt Gingrich.

Doesn't surprise me. The "good old boys" don't like him. He is not controllable. He won't do what htey say..no matter what. What they want is someone who will support "business as usual". Which Paul won't. So they don't like him and they want to push him out.
This is what happens to honest people in politics. They get push around and the crooks try to push them out.

Oh my I did not realize that. Thank you for noticing and letting me know. I could not figure out why MyLot tagged the discussion mature.
