OpEdNews.com has an article about the only real (in the historical before Reagan sense) Conservative Republican in the bunch. Of course he, Ron Paul, is the one attacked by both the media and his fellow Republicans as not being 'with it.' The fringe Republican candidate represents the Republican-party-that-was.
PAUL vs. GIULIANI: BATTLING FOR AMERICA'S SOUL by Alex Wallenwein
UPDATE: Another article about Ron Paul: Ron Paul on Blowback by Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr.The Real Political Divide:
This relatively minor spat between Ron Paul and Rudy Giuliani during the second GOP debate has laid bare for all to see the essence of the true ideological divide in American politics. It is decidedly not the phony divide between “left” and “right”, Democrat and Republican, conservative versus libertarian, patriot versus un-American miscreant, rich versus poor, black versus white, pro-abortion versus anti-abortion, or whatever other concocted issue there may be.
It is the divide between those who want to transform this nation into what it was never intended to be, into what its population would never knowingly and willingly endorse and submit to - and those who simply want to stay free and who actually know what’s at stake.
