The Towers Still Stand: An Alternate take on early 21st Century America.

Dubya should dig for dirt on Paul, discover he's a racist asshat, and spread that info to bust his image as a libertarian.

Agreed

Maybe but Paul is no threat so it could backfire and make him look bad or alienate Paul's supporters.

 

[woweed]

If TTL turns out to secretly be a Ron Paul-Wank, I..Will be very surprised.

 

[Pericles]

Shame Gephardt lost. But Gore 04!

(Is 'Re-Elect Al Gore' a thing)

I think Bush should spread that info somewhat discreetly by word-of-mouth, on the Internet, etc.

I can assure you it's not. Don't worry.

If Paul is going into New Hampshire with only a third of support then Bush should be fine until the general.

Uniting the party is another story...

Just wait until the hit pieces on Paul's racist past come out. A rock in water comes to mind

I think a lot of people will still vote for Paul, though he will lose support.

And Paul will at least win a few delegates due to the low turnout of the primaries, judging by how LaRouche won a delegate in 1996.

I might be a little bit in the dark about this, since I've only been politically conscious for a few years. What are some examples of Paul being racist?

Seconded. I've found no sources of Wellstone being racist.

We're talking about Ron Paul.

 

[tuxer]

We're talking about Ron Paul.

Oh, that asshole.

I thought it was Paul Wellstone.

 

[The Congressman]

We're talking about Ron Paul.

He was affiliated in the so-called Paleolibertarian movement, which was an attempt by libertarian thinkers to appeal to the neo-confederate movement and racialist whites.
He wrote a few pamphlets about it in the past

Considering this a pre-Tea Party world where America was still pretending to be color blind, Ron Paul is in hot water. Not that there were many Paulbots to begin with.

There were few Paulbots in 2008, and even less in 2004.

 

[The Congressman]

Paul had a modest minority of support in 2008. He got 5.6%.
Ironically, most of the Paulbots became the Trumpkin base
