This is not the first time I’ve said this. It won’t be the last, even if I disagree with him pretty frequently on social issues and often have to think to myself “Oh Grandpa, the things you say.” Here he is on Ron Paul’s straw poll victory at CPAC, and what he thinks (rightly or wrongly) it means for the purported conservatism of Romney, Palin, and Huckabee.

on The Mandate That Wasn’t
Once again, Mark Thompson is giving elitists an opportunity to exert their superiority by kicking around the most visible bimbo on the right side of Real Americana, Sarah Palin. Sorry, couldn’t resist. Did I say bimbo?
I like Mulshine as well.Report
Whoa. This dude sounds awesome.Report
Pretty clever.Report
Which Republican tradition does Ron Paul represent? Not that of Eisenhower, Nixon, Reagan, or either Bush, and if you need to go back to Goldwater or Herbert Hoover to find a real Republican, you might as well say that the real Democrats are JFK hawks and William Jennings Bryan fundamentalists.Report
Mulshine says nothing about Paul representing a “Republican tradition,” only a “conservative tradition.” The complaint of philosophical (aka, paleoconservatives) about the GOP has for years been that it is not conservative in any meaningful sense.Report
