Why Ron Paul and McCain appeals to the same base?

[quantized]

He is Ron Paul greatest threat. He's getting most of the independent votes and the young voters based on all the CNN exit polls so far for all the states which did their primaries. We need a grassroot effort to unmask McCain. First we need to answer the following question

1) What is the ugliest truth about McCain?
2) What is McCain's appeal to independents and young voters?

[Paul Revered]

McCain can not be trusted to protect your 2nd amendment rights. check his voting record. Now that Lieberman has chummied up to him; I'm even more suspicious.

Ron Paul vs. John McCain would be an easy win on an even stage. All we'd have to do is paint him as the establishment candidate among independents, and keep replaying the line "we went to Washington and Washington changed us" over and over and over again - and then tout Dr. Paul's record. 100 year was as the cherry on the cake.

Independents would leave in droves.

We are also lucking out BIGTIME with Hillary beating Obama. We need Obama to just go away. He can't take a VP spot. We need him out of the political picture.

1) He has supported many of the same policies that the status-quo have supported, that are bankrupting America (foreign military intervention, spending money in the Social Security funds, unconstitutional federal regulations and programs [e.g. the department of education and no child left behind]). McCain will not stop the financial collapse of America. He does not support the fundamental changes America needs to avert bankruptcy and prosper.
2) McCain is perceived as a Maverick that stands up to Washington special interests. He *is* a maverick relative to most politicians, but when compared to Ron Paul, he is a typical politician.

There seems to be some inexplicable confusion. We simply need to blast out the fact that McCain = pro war, and Ron Paul = pro peace.

I agree.

We just have a problem with the Media always portraying Ron Paul as a loser. Do you see the tactic guys? They prop up people Ron Paul can beat each state. While they ignore Ron Paul.

Just think if they gave him fair and balanced coverage we would have the sheep voting with us by now.
