YAF kicks out Ron Paul

[oberliner]

A prominent conservative activist group has given Ron Paul the boot.

The Young Americans for Freedom has voted the Texas congressman off its national advisory board in the aftermath of his straw poll win at CPAC over his positions on national security issues.

"It's a sad day in American history when a one-time conservative/libertarian stalwart has fallen more out of touch with America's needs for national security then our current socialist presidential regime," said the group's national director Jordan Marks.

The dispute between Paul and the the group seems to stem from Paul's anti-war activities and the prominence of his supporters at conservative events like CPAC.

3. God forbid there be a difference of opinion in the republican party.

They must be hard right drones or they're "liberals." Bullshit

4. They'll still never vote for Obama.

5. Ron Paul, Richard Lugar, The Bushes, etc.

Have only one thing in common when it comes to Republican foreign policy: They fell out of the mainstream. Actually, they didn't do anything. They all stood still while the Republican Party and the conservative movement went galloping off into some never-never land.

6. "...fallen more out of touch with America's needs..."

That alone should win Irony Of The Week. :eyes:

7. I doubt Ron Paul or his supporters care....

YAF are true fascists (as they support America's corporate/military empire). None of the Ron Paul people care a whit for them anyway.
