Can Ron Paul Save The Republican Party From Defeat In Nov.By Running As The Anti-War Candidate?

We Answered:

YES.

Unless the vote is rigged, Ron Paul is the only hope the republican party has for a win in November.

If republicans continue to tolerate the hijacking of the party by neocons and globalists, the party will not survive.

Harry Said:

Why is the Republican Party referred to as the Grand Old Party or GOP?

We Answered:

In 1875 there was a citation in the Congressional Record referring to "this gallant old party." In early motorcar days, GOP took on the term "get out and push." In line with moves in the '70s to modernize the party, Republican leaders took to referring to the "grand old party." Gives the impression that the Republican Party is large and impressive and have the wisdom that goes along w/ age. Whether true or not is obviously debatable.
