The more I read Republican reactions about Ron Paul's 9/11 comments (which by the way--he stated here last year when he spoke to us in the Texas Room) the more it seems that the Iraq War has the potential of doing major damage to the Republican Party, nationally if not in Texas.
Though some are highly critical of the congressman, more than a few seem to agree with him. This will not help the Republicans maintain the unity which has been the hallmark at least since they took over Congress in 1994.
I'm beginning to think more and more that Bush may be doing to his party what Lyndon Johnson did to the Democrats in 1968 with Vietnam. Stick them with a divisive war that breaks the party in two while it unifies the opposition. A party is only as long as it stays cohesive. Dr. Paul may have highlighted a growing division within his party.
