According to a post on Slashdot about Ron Paul reporting he’s scaling back:

To the haters…

So, those of you that are too cool for school, be aware that the Alaksa GOP district caucuses were today, and Ron Paul Republicans managed major party platform changes at the district level, which will now move on to state. These included:

- removing the plank opposed to gaming/gambling
- rewriting the “war” plank from “we support the Iraq war” to “we opposed all undeclared wars”
- promoting the legalization of industrial hemp

What did you do today that compares? Anything that actually changed the world?

I’m too lazy to investigate this further at the moment but if true this is exactly what I’ve been talking about. A few activists go a long way. This is the same thing the Goldwater and Taft supporters did, the neocon and Christian right did. If the Ron Paul Revolution continues the Republican party in 2012 will be quite different looking.
