Are Democrats Using Ron Paul To Create Primary Election Chaos?

Recent polling indicates Republican candidate Ron Paul is receiving close to a majority of his support from voters who don’t affiliate with the Republican party. Could this scenario be an intentional plan to create chaos within the Republican primary race?

While none can dispute the impact Ron Paul is having on the Iowa and New Hampshire caucus/primary polls, a bit of investigation into just those who actually make up the base of Ron Paul’s support is raising more than a few eyebrows among Republicans, with the potential of Congressman Paul being used as a political spoiler gaining traction among those troubled by both his seeming radical foreign policy positions and refusal to rule out a third party run in 2012 – something that would likely ensure Barack Obama’s re-election victory.

A recent Rasmussen poll indicated the following regarding Paul’s strong showing in Iowa:

Paul has a wide lead among non-Republicans who are likely to participate in the caucus… just 51 percent of Paul supporters consider themselves Republicans.

David Woodard, who oversees South Carolina polling data, stated the following:

Paul’s support is higher among those who usually don’t vote in GOP primary elections.

So the question that is now required is whether or not Ron Paul is a candidate who truly enjoys a bi-partisan grass roots base of support, of if there is a real possibility he is being used by Democratic Party operatives as an primary campaign spoiler to instill further chaos and dissension among Republican voters, and possibly set up a disastrous (for those who wish to see Barack Obama defeated) third party candidacy? There is also the media now attacking Ron Paul as a Republican radical – not as a fringe candidate, but rather one being used to represent the mainstream of the Republican party. Double damage inflicted via the Ron Paul campaign.

One bit of evidence may provide a possible answer – President Barack Obama has said not one word against Ron Paul since the Republican primary race began.

Not one…

………….

(ht/Ulsterman.. Ron Paul is a trip!  I can’t imagine his kick the can down the road ideology is going to get us anywhere productive if he is elected.

Unbelievable as it seems… he may be a factor if he is the nominee… Obama will paint him as a whachadoodle-CRAZY-NUT and scare the bejesus out of voters. Therefore getting himself re-elected! Now, that is a scary thought!
