Entry: The Catholic League for Neoconservative Politics Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/the_catholic_league_for_neoconservative_politics#12017 Post contents: to Scott: While I agree that Ron Paul's comments were in error and probably due to fatigue and baiting by the hosts, I think it would be counterproductive for him to apologize at this point. Huckabee has alread given a return jab at the RP campaign, with his "paul is dead" Beatles refrence, and you could argue that he has "won this round". If you go to Dridge, you see the quote has been taken off. The MSM, and most of the American public, has moved on. To bring it up now would simply be reopening a can of worms, and provide more fuel to the people working against him. Don't get me wrong: if asked about that quote, he should apologize frankly and plainly, mentioning his fatigue but taking the responsibility for his actions. However, to make an unprovoked apology would do more harm than good. Like it or not: this *is* a political race, and, no matter how hard we try not to, there are certain rules to play by. Personally, I'm willing to move beyond the quote and look to the issues. Besides, Huckabee gives ME the creeps, too. Hopefully, Ron learned a valuable lesson about playing "the game" on someone else's terms rather than your own. Ron has the message on his side. Leave the snark to the professionals.
