The GOP's "Big Tent" Will Be Filled With More Than Just Their Usual Elephant Shit Next Summer

[David Zephyr]

I have a sweet little dream about next year's Republican National Convention in Minnesota. It might turn out to be very entertaining after all.

Ron Paul has jumped from nowhere to now polling above 8 percent of likely New Hampshire voters and the momentum appears to having him inching to within double digits there.

Sweet New Hampshire!

This is the state that voted for Pat Buchanan against George H. Bush, voted for John McCain against George W. Bush and has a long history of upsetting all of the pretty apple carts. How?

Independents can vote in the Republican Primaries. And Independents in New Hampshire just love stirring up the old pot and it appears that they are warming to Congressman Ron Paul, the sole GOP candidate who opposed Bush's war in Iraq.

Paul, who is raising millions of dollars on the internet, may just make a bigger splash than anyone expects in New Hampshire in early January. And in a crowded field of candidates and in that anti-tax state, the guy who vows to abolish the IRS might just wind up with placing first or second when the votes come in. Praise the Lord!

And wouldn't that just give the power-brokers within the Republican Party indigestion and some sleepless nights? What a sweet thought! Ron Paul, the anti-war candidate walking into the GOP National Convention in 2008 with enough loud and motivated delegates to cheer and jeer and upset the cult in front of the whole world and in prime time! Hallelujah!

Maybe the so-called "big tent" of the GOP will actually be a circus tent, not just full of elephant shit, but with with some exciting sideshows, too:

The Religious Right, divided among themselves, wave their Bibles at the followers of Rudy, the New York Drag Queen for his pro-choice and pro-gay stands.

The pro-war neo-cons shouting at the Ron Paul delegates over the rationale of Bush's stupid war in Iraq.

Mormons vs Christians.

Country Club Republicans vs. Cultural Bigots.

Latino Republicans vs Immigrant Bashing Republicans.

Dear God in Heaven. Let it be. Let it be.
