If Dr. Paul truly wishes to reform the GOP, he has his work cut out for him. The Republicans are not tolerant of descent.

Some of us occasionally wonder if we've made any difference in the politics of this country, yert what does this kind of action show but that those in positions of control are really afraid of a vibrant democracy where more than two corporate cash-fat parties exist?
