Say It Ain’t So Ron Paul!
Ron Paul has once again said he won’t mount an third-party candidacy even while acknowledging that his prospects for winning the Republican nomination are nearly non-existent. In a message to supporters on his campaign Web site today, Paul wrote, “with [Mitt] Romney gone, the chances of a brokered convention are nearly zero. But that does not affect my determination to fight on, in every caucus and primary remaining, and at the convention for our ideas, with just as many delegates as I can get."
The Texas congressman said he is cutting his national campaign staff and noted that he is also concentrating on holding onto his House seat, according to the AP. Paul faces a primary challenge. "If I were to lose the primary for my congressional seat, all our opponents would react with glee, and pretend it was a rejection of our ideas," Paul wrote. "I cannot and will not let that happen." Texas holds its primary contests for the presidential race and House races on March 4th.

I didn''t contribute to Ron Paul''s campaign so that he could send it back, I contributed to help send a message to Washington.
I appreciate the sacrifice of Ron Paul--he is a courageous lion amongst a bunch of hyenas. In order to effect change in politics it is essential that we give our support to those brave enough to stand up for our individual liberties, personal property rights, and for sound monetary and humble foreign policies.
Without such robust fundraising, Ron Paul would have been pushed aside from the onset--written off. To assume otherwise would be foolish, and to allow this, tragic.
Regardless of what remains in the coffers of Ron Paul''s campaign in November, he has earned it. Without him there would not have been any real debating at all, just sound bites and propaganda.
At the end of the day, Ron Paul has to think about his family, and his district, and we need to make sure men like him remain in the Congress--he is a truly an American patriot.
McCain 26%
Paul 21%
Romney 16%
Uncommitted 12%
Even shifting from the race, Ron Paul came within 4% of the presumptive nominee. A drop-out came within 10%, and Anybody-but-McCain got 12%.
What was it the media said after Hillary won New Hampshire against two other strong candidacies? -- A majority voted for someone else, wasn''t it? Here, the race is over, McCain is the Presidential nominee and 74% voted for someone else.
Since his fourth place in Iowa made him the real winner, I guess McCain votes are kind of like dog years, one of his equals seven for anyone else.
Is Hillary Clinton for "The Citizens" of America? That is the function of the "President", or is it for HER personal gain? Yes, she WILL garnish our paychecks with her Mandatory Healthcare plan. No Freedom of choice.
Just check the 1996 bill submitted to congress by Hillary Clinton and look who saved all America''s butts, which includes all our children. Please begin your learning experience here:
