Ron Paul Just Released a Big Statement — and Some are Saying It Means He‘s ’Out of the Race’

Ron Paul Releases New Statement Is His Campaign Over?Ron Paul just released an important campaign statement. And according to Politico and others, it’s a fancy way of saying his presidential campaign is “over.”

Here’s the statement from the Paul camp, which says he will not be campaigning in any states that have not already held their primaries:

As I reflect on our 2012 Presidential campaign, I am humbled by the supporters who have worked so hard and sacrificed so much.  And I am so proud of what we have accomplished.  We will not stop until we have restored what once made America the greatest country in human history.

This campaign fought hard and won electoral success that the talking heads and pundits never thought possible.  But, this campaign is also about more than just the 2012 election.  It has been part of a quest I began 40 years ago and that so many have joined.  It is about the campaign for Liberty, which has taken a tremendous leap forward in this election and will continue to grow stronger in the future until we finally win.

Our campaign will continue to work in the state convention process.  We will continue to take leadership positions, win delegates, and carry a strong message to the Republican National Convention that Liberty is the way of the future.

Moving forward, however, we will no longer spend resources campaigning in primaries in states that have not yet voted.  Doing so with any hope of success would take many tens of millions of dollars we simply do not have.  I encourage all supporters of Liberty to make sure you get to the polls and make your voices heard, particularly in the local, state, and Congressional elections, where so many defenders of Freedom are fighting and need your support.

I hope all supporters of Liberty will remain deeply involved – become delegates, win office, and take leadership positions.  I will be right there with you.  In the coming days, my campaign leadership will lay out to you our delegate strategy and what you can do to help, so please stay tuned.

For Liberty,

Ron Paul.”

[Emphasis added]

“It’s an original way of announcing that a presidential campaign is over, but that’s what the statement amounts to,” Politico writer Alexander Burns says.

Reacting to the news on Fox News Channel, Sheppard Smith said Ron Paul was “out of the race.”

But Business Insider isn‘t reading finality into Paul’s words, reporting “The statement makes it clear that Paul is not dropping out of the race.” It explains:

In some ways, the announcement merely formalizes the delegate strategy that the campaign has focused on for the past few months. But there is a finality in the language of today‘s statement that indicates that Paul’s longshot presidential bid may be nearing its inevitable end.

Still, the popular Drudge Report agreed with Smith, posting the headline “Paul Out:”

    Look at all the RINOS that vote with the dems,they raise the debt ceiling and continue spending us into oblivion.Paul was my first choice because I like his fiscal policy and idea of smaller government.His foreign policy which some people irrationally thought would ensure our demise if he were elected is just that,irrational.So we’ll have a choice between a progressive atheist and a progressive Mormon.

      @progressiveslayer,

      “His foreign policy which some people irrationally thought would ensure our demise if he were elected is just that,irrational.”

      Ron Paul is still in the race: “We will continue to … win delegates …”.

      As for his foreign policy, non-intervention was the foreign policy of Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, and also the Republican Party in the past. The Republican Party has been co-opted by Progressives.

      I’m surprised NO ONE here at The Blaze has caught on… fellow Paul supporters, remember how weeks ago, Paul said he had something ‘very special’ planned for the campaign? And we all wondered if it were an event, or unveiling a big-name supporter? Well, this was it. This is better than anything for Paul.

      The media is reporting “RP IS OUT”. But that’s okay, doubters and Fox Watchers, keep thinking Mitt won, tell all your friends he‘s won and Paul’s dropped out. Take the Mitt Romney blue pill and all will be well. No political false flags from Paul’s campaign here!

      Heck, to all Romney supporters, why even attend your delegate conventions anymore? Why even go to Tampa? Everything‘s under Mitt’s control. Mitt’s won, you can all go home, us Paul supporters can attend the convention in your place and “ensure Mitt really wins” :)

      I love the guy but the truth is, if there’s a Paul who is presidential material, Ron isn’t the one.

      He‘s going to make a great Treasury Secretary and I hope he gets Romney’s ear about at least investigating the Fed, if not shutting the damn thing down altogether.

      “For we have entered the age of quantum politics; and Mitt Romney is the first quantum politician. In much the same way that light is both a particle and a wave, Mitt Romney is both a moderate and a conservative, depending on the situation. It is not that he is one or the other; it is not that he is one and then the other. He is both at the same time. No human being can ever simultaneously know both what Mitt Romney’s current position is and where that position will be at some future date. According to the latest theories, the “Mitt Romney” who seems poised to be the Republican nominee is but one of countless Mitt Romneys, each occupying his own cosmos, each supporting a different platform, all of them equally valid and all of them running for president at the same time, in their own alternative Romnealities, somewhere in the vast Romniverse. …And all of them losing to Barack Obama.”

      Why Romney is better than Obama-Why it DOES make a difference 1)Romney is not a Marxist-communist.2) Romney would not promise Russia “more flexibility 3)Romney does want to “fundamentally change” America 4) Romney would not trash the constitution, 5)Romney does not have a bunch of socialists, Marxists, communists, and even two Maoists working in his administration. He wasn’t reared buy them either. He didn’t have a communist father (Barack Sr.) or a communist childhood mentor (Frank Marshall Davis). Romney did not “seek out Marxist professors” while in college, and then write a book about it telling us he did so.6) Romney did not sit in a church for 20 years where a radical, racist, Marxist, anti-American so-called Pastor presided 7)Romney doesn’t/wouldn’t try to divide people by both class warfare and racial issues. He would not do countless things to incite jealousy, envy and covetousness. 8) Romney would not run up our national debt more than the first 43 U.S. presidents COMBINED, in ONE TERM. 9)Romney would not get on national television to claim capitalism a failure,10)Romney would not bend over backwards to please and appease Muslims both at home and abroad.11) Romney is far superior at running a business, while Obama was a “community organizer” (aka street hustler). Romney would be better for the economy in many ways.12) Romney would not be anti-drilling for our own oil, so we wouldn’t have to buy from terrorists who want to kill us.13)

The New Black Panthers had endorsed Obama, and at one time their seal was on the White House site. 18) The Romney administration would not give thousands of guns to Mexico, to create the illusion that tougher gun laws are needed.

      No the choice is free market capitalism or communism. You could help by helping us get some conservative senators and congresspeople. Romney was first choice of only about 25 per cent, I cite the early primaries as evidence. However, most of us are realistic and adult enough to realize you take the best of whats left and strengthen your team with good defense and offensive line. You could help defeat a socialist/communist or you can proudly jump off the cliff, and drag the country with you, in the name of supporting Paul and “punishing” those who don’t vote to nominate “your” guy.

      Paul supporters have been deluded into actually believing that 1,044+ delegates are going to go rogue and vote for Paul on the first vote despite being bound to another candidate.

      Have you guys considered what would happen if this cunning plan were to succeed? Do you think everyone will say “wow cool, Ron Paul won exactly 0 contests and came away with the nomination. That is totally legit”?

      Better yet, what would you think if it were the other way around – if Ron Paul won the vast majority of the contests, but then Romney ended up winning at the convention? Surely, there wouldn’t be conspiracy theories… Paul supporters would just jump right on the bandwagon..

      Next time you back a candidate, be more kind. Paul guys were like crazed game players whose Mom turned off the TV. They totally lost sight of the BIG PICTURE for AMERICA and tried to ridicule everyone who did not think JUST like they did. They hurt PAUL more than Paul hurt Paul.

      I’m sure that some of his points will be gladly adopted by Mitt Romney. I would not be surprised to see PAUL put in charge of THE FED…that would be great justice, eh? So remember the GOAL is to have A COMMUNIST-FREE, MARXIST-FREE, SOCIALIST-FREE, MUSLIM TERRORISTS-FREE America. Help where you can and forget this “ states manipulation of delegates” you are spitting in the wind.

      I wasn’t for ROMNEY at first, but as I watched him, watched his debate performance and got the facts, I’m very comfortable that he will be more than able to handle that twerp in any debate. It’s now or never.

We’re expecting Romney enthusiasm to be so low that he does NOT make the 1,144 delegates needed to win on a first ballot, in which case the convention goes into a second round of voting where Romney’s delegates become unbound. All the while, Obama will have spent so much money on many trained ads against Romney, and the negative effects of being in the spotlight for 6 months will be sinking into Romney. Obama will have wasted his money, if the party decides to yank Romney and put Paul up at the last moment.

      I think the reason that BECK is so down on PAUL is several actually: Legalize Drugs…as a recovering alcoholic I am pretty sure they feel that legalization will lead to abuse. I think I agree with PAUL on this, but would have to really study other countries where this has happened. The other thing is Paul’s refusal to treat Israel like our most valued ALLY. Again, If were were moving toward energy INDEPENDENCE, those bloody SAUDI’S would be so obnoxiously controlling and would behave themselves. They wouldn’t dare be threatening Israel or let punks like that jerk in IRAN spout off about Israel either. SO Israel is very important to me for all types of reasons. Jerusalem as free city is #1. WE are under vicious attack by Muslims world wide. I don’t think PAUL gets that.
      Be sure to watch this:

      Paul‘s refusal to encourage our support of ISRAEL is unrealistic on Paul’s part. Beck is a huge Israel defender. A lot of this comes from common sense, from historical knowledge and from our Religions. (I’m Catholic) Beck is Mormon (but born Catholic) …. Finally, Paul didn‘t seem at all realistic about actions he’d take. Romney will accomplish the same things but he’ll do it without burning down the house to do it.

      @PATTY HENRY,

      “I think the reason that BECK is so down on PAUL is several actually: Legalize Drugs…as a recovering alcoholic I am pretty sure they feel that legalization will lead to abuse. I think I agree with PAUL on this, but would have to really study other countries where this has happened. The other thing is Paul’s refusal to treat Israel like our most valued ALLY.”

      I can address all of these concerns, if you’re willing to listen.

      Basically, with the drug issue, you don‘t give government the authority to tell you what you can or can’t put into your own body. You punish actual crimes instead of “might-entice-someone-to-commit-a-crime”(s).

      As for Israel, to me they are the people of God – I’m a dispensationalist. But our nation is not a theocracy – we don’t get to force everyone to be Christian so that only theocratic-like laws get passed. We are a Constitutional Republic, in which decentralized power better protects individual liberty from encroachments of the national government.

      The First Amendment was designed to allow freedom of religious belief (including no religious beliefs) and free speech, SO THAT it would be difficult for government to silence you.

      Our Founders did NOT want America to partake in entangling alliances.

      Again, I’d like to walk you through all of this, if you’ll let me.

      @PATTYHENRY As a Christian, I support Israel. I also support Paul’s presidential candidacy. After doing my own homework, I’ve realized that the MSM and radio talking heads are full of hot air.

      Here‘s what I’ve found:

      Ron Paul Tells Newsmax: I Support Israel
      http://www.newsmax.com/InsideCover/paul-israel-support-wead/2011/12/07/id/420247

      Many Zionists actually agree with Paul’s stance. In an op-ed written for Israeli National News, Shmuel Ben-Gad writes that “Dr. Paul’s position is based upon a principled, modest, non-interventionist foreign policy – not upon anti-Zionism” and the Republican candidate should be “the Zionist choice for President.”

      Quoting the Bible, Paul said Christian evangelicals who want the current status of American-Israeli relations to continue should understand that “‘the borrower is servant to the lender’ and America should never be the master of Israel and its fate.”

      Former Israeli Ambassador to the UN, Dore Gold, said, “Israel never asked the United States to risk the lives of American troops to defend it… We don’t want American troops or any other troops defending Israel. We want to fulfill the doctrine of the founder of Israel, David Ben-Gurion, of self-reliance– that Israel defends itself by itself. And what we ask for from the United States is diplomatic support so we can maintain that position.”

      Ron Paul is pro-Israel. The MSM is anti-FreeMarkets and anti-ConstituitonalGovernment, and will ma

      I will NOT apologize! Beck spent years preaching to all of us about how concerned he was about the erosion of civil liberties in our nation but now he’s just fine with Romney who endorsed the NDAA which authorizes the indefinated detention of US citizens with no trial! Are you kidding me? If the real Patrick “Give me liberty or give me death” Henry were here he slap you upside your stupid head.

      Shall I even bother to mention that the same big banks that were bailed out out by the Fed AND donate to Obama, also donated to Romney? How long did Beck piss and wail and moan about that? Its been a while since we‘ve heard a peep about any of that hasn’t it?

      Beck has betrayed us. Face it. We were both stupid, I just realized it sooner.

      Look, LEGAL OR ILLEGAL, ALCOHOLICS will abuse it; I am merely expressing the reasons (you asked for them) that Beck may not be a PAUL supporter. BECK thinks that legalizing drugs will end up harming us.
      What I just adore about the PAUL folks is that they think they have ALL the answers. This is why he never got traction. From my POV he is an egomaniac who was ineffective all these years and couldn’t he have done a greater good by picking ONE cause and made sure he got the BILLS passed that were required to accomplish ONE thing and then gone on. The only time we ever heard about him was when he was running for PRESIDENT. I think we’ve said all we need to say. I have work to do…still.

      Supports Big WARS
      Signed assault rifle ban

      So how is that different than Obama? Huh? He is a liberal with a Conservative hat..no difference..The banks are calling the shots..Obomney is their man..either will do..heck..one could be the other’s VP
      Remember TARP was given to Sharia compliant banks in which 2.5% of every envestment goes to fund terrorist organizations..and 7 % to them for breaking one Sharia Law..

      What have we gotten wrong?

      We’re right about earmarks. We’re right about non-intervention. We’re right about the Founders. We’re right about economics. We’re right about racism. We’re right about limited government. And on and on.

      I’m not saying that we know it all, but honestly we deserve far more credit than has been given.

      As for the argument that he’s “ineffective” that I hear over and over again: The role of government isn’t to “get stuff done”. The role of government is to adhere to the Constitution, which excludes MANY things that the government is involved with, today.

      And our Constitutional Republic is actually DESIGNED to go into gridlock when representatives disagree. THAT’S A VERY GOOD THING, because helps keep factions under control.

      If others are “getting along to get along”, then those are the people who are violating their oath to the Constitution. This does not bear on Ron Paul’s “effectiveness”.

      Ron Paul isn’t the one violating his oath to the Constitution. Get mad at someone else.

      Ron Paul as a Stooge for Adolph Hitler
      http://www.lewrockwell.com/block/block190.html

      “A Paul presidency in 1940 would have meant a war with Germany, but not Japan. However, a President Paul in 1917 would not have encouraged U.S. entry into that conflagration. If he was successful, there would have been no need for any declaration of war against Germany, as there would have been no Adolph Hitler and his Nazis in charge. He would have been, instead, an unknown house painter. With a President Paul at the helm, there would have been no holocaust; no 50 million people perishing during this war; no dropping of atomic bombs on innocent civilians, women and children, to our eternal shame.”

      “The guy is a nut when it comes to foreign policy. We are a global economy and have global trade and travel. During the time of our founders if a foreign nation wanted to mess with you it took weeks and a good navy and England was the only one with the power to reach us. Different world, different rules.”

Were we blessed in “standing by Israel?” Is that blessing Barrack Obama for President? Are we being blessed by importing 11 thousand muslims a month. and and importation of tens of thousands by exectutive order? Are we blessed by going into total financial collapse? Can and will Romney save us? NO!! He is a progressive liberal Patty. Ron Paul will have us out of debt with the compliance of Congress in a short time..He will bring our men home and secure our borders. He will declare war by Congressional decision only..get in win get out..He will cut 5 communist government departments..He will give Israel her independence and help her if she asks..It is our duty to get Constitutionalists in the Congress and the Senate Patty to ensure what we want..We Will help Israel..but we need the strength..Paul can do it ..Romney is a flip flopper and about money..Paul has never been.

      Ron Paul is actually right about non-intervention. The Republican Party used to be non-interventionist; Thomas Jefferson and George Washington were non-interventionists.

      And Ron Paul seems to understand the dangers of Radical Islam better than most; Though I will concede that I do not know where he stands on CAIR being a Muslim Brotherhood front group – and that does concern me, but like I said before if we got back to the constitution, our Constitutional Republic could handle CAIR.

But as you know, there is only one God, and only one way for salvation! Glad to see you still follow KijaniAmariAk’s bible study/current event videos. His work is incredibly knowledgable and moving! God bless you and the others for keeping up the tough fight upstream! I, however, am sickened by the blissful ignorance and the mindless beck-zombies who spew his radio propaganda on this blog! Its a pointless battle sometimes, when some people are more than willing to go to a Fema Camp if beck told them to. I feel its just better for me, to part ways with beck and his bullcrap website!

      Kudos and peace, friend!

      I had to get in here. I have tried a couple posts but were denied. I did get some through on the second page. QUIT LISTENING TO THE MSM, and that includes Fox and The Blaze. Paul is not out, he has been planning this change in strategy for a few weeks. It is going to work, cannot give all details now, but stay tuned, it will progress. All Paul supporters, keep doing what you have been doing, continue to do all you can to get delegate seats. Go in numbers to ensure you have the power of the masses, it is the only way we will win. Paul has promised that more information on his delegate strategy will come forth in the near future. True Paul supporters know where to go to get this information, make sure you continue to check in.

      I can tell you that this strategy came after it was apparent that Pual was in better shape than originally thought. Stop listening to the MSM.

      Ron Paul discussions always prove one fact, the Neo-Con right is just as alinsky as the Progressive left. I see no difference in tactic, or position. The revelation has become that there is only a slight difference in who actually runs the plantation, but the end goal is the same for both sides of the faux debate – control the masses for the sake of the elite. This has become a struggle for supremecy using mobs on both sides:; whether they are right, wrong, or somewhere in between.

      The revelation also shows that the mobs have devolved into a condition incapable of Liberty or the personal responsibility required by it.

      The Beck and Bartons of the world will not tell you that the Federalist writers immediately passed laws in contradiction of their elegant prose – once they came into power under the Constitution. Judge Napolitano will tell you what they did, and just how the Anti-Federalists were right. Glenn will not tell you the whole truth, because it would garner him the same as Napolitano – forced silence.

      Ron Paul has been telling the nation its failings, and the nation does not want to hear it. I have not wanted to hear it and struggled against it in ‘08; however, I now find myself incapable of disagreeing with Ron Paul when being honest with myself and the obvious facts. Facts that have existed since the success of the Revolution.

      I know it took a long time for you to post all of that but thank for reminding us. The final straw wass this weekend when the wonderful Blaze here decided to repeat the LIE (I was there) That Josh Romney was booed off the stage by Paul supporters in AZ sat. He was NOT booed off the stage. He was booed because he violated party rules in his speech against specifically asking delegates to vote for Romney loyalist.

      Further, the fraud, intimidation and corruption that went on in AZ at the convention wasn’t even reported and certainly not here at the Blaze. I also understand similar things happened in OK but I guess most of us will remain in the dark.

      You can all think I’m some rabid “Paulbot” troublemaker if you like but I have been a registered republican since I was 18 and I am watching my party getting ready to nominate a guy as liberal as Bill Clinton…….and really, I am just scared for my country, sad at the rampant corruption in the GOP, and I feel like I want to cry.

      First of all, Ron Paul did not leave the race for the Presidency.

      Second, if your goal is to stop Marxism, you need to wise up about Romney, because he’s NOT a free market guy. He believes in government intervention, similar to Obama.

    Why is there such a lack of reading comprehension? Ron Paul is NOT dropping out of the race. They are refocusing limited resources to winning delegates and positions of power in the party, which has been the stated goal since day one. Many states have already selected delegates *before* their primary, and with the lack of coverage and “inevitably” narrative that’s been built up for over a year, it does not make sense to spend money trying to win “beauty contest” straw polls. At least Paul walks the walk on fiscal conservatism, as opposed to the other candidates who claimed to be consersavtive and racked up millions in debt. There’s a bigger picture than the nomination. It’s about changing the direction of the party (also a stated goal since day one).

    Funny how the media can pick up on this “story” instantly, yet spend months ignoring delegate wins, GOP chairmanship wins, and the crowds of thousands everywhere.

    Come November, are you going to vote for the big government progressive, debt-raising, individual mandate-supporting, Patriot Act/NDAA-supporting, war-supporting, TARP-supporting, bailout-supporting guy or… wait, I forgot which guy I was referring to. Once we get Obama out of office, I hope you’ve got a plan to get rid of Romney.

Yes, Ron Paul has his faults and there is plenty of things the “average republican” can disagree with him on. However, how can people who want small government hate a guy like Ron Paul so much? You would expect that from the left and the socialists – but not republicans.

      I would have thought the people who follow Glenn Beck would want small government even more than the average republican… but it is obvious they are driven by emotion and hate rather than principles. This is why the republican party is LOST and incapable of leading us out of this mess

    Is that really what he’s saying? I’m not sure. Paul is running a very different kind of campaign. He understands fiscal responsibility, so he’s not going to go into debt for his campaign. He obviously can’t out raise or outspend Romney.

    He’s not going to be advertising and campaigning anymore in the traditional sense. But he’s asking all of his supporters in the states yet to vote to do stuff for him. I don‘t really think that’s going to work. Except…he’s cheating.

    His strategy has been to get his supporters to act like they support Romney so they can get chosen as delegates. Then at the convention, he will have a lot more delegates than is believed. We’ll see if those double agents are enough to swing the nomination his way.

      I agree. RP’s campaign is just as dishonest as his voting record. RP likes to vote last. That way, if he wants a Bill to be passed but, it’s against his supporters will, he’ll vote no AFTER the Bill has enough votes to pass.

      Just like Obama voting “present” 126 or 128 times; RP’s voting record is a sham. Or should I say “shamWOW”.

      @kryptonite Before you spout anymore BS, let me correct you on a few things:

      Ron Paul has said,

      “I do believe we are an exceptional nation. We’ve been exceptional in that we have an exceptional Constitution, we’ve enjoyed the benefits of liberty like no other nation ever did, we’ve had the largest middle class ever and the wealthiest middle class.”

      “I believe we have been an exceptional country. When the example is set, others will emulate us.”

      “Open primaries” means just that. They’re open to EVERYONE. That means Democrats, Independents, Republicans, Libertarians, ETC. can vote for whomever. That‘s not manipulation on Paul’s part. That’s campaigning. To call this some kind of “tactic” is ridiculous, especially since those are the rules. You seem dishonest in your analysis. And to think that somehow who can get lots of support from the general vote is somehow manipulative is ludicrous. No one wins in a general election by only having their party followers voting for them. You have to actually take support and votes away from your opposition. That’s Voting 101.

      I mistakenly thought Paul had visited Iran in 2006. My bad. Fair’s fair, so thanks for pointing that out. However, while searching for the website where I thought I had read that info, I found this interesting article: “Ron Paul’s Remarkable No Votes: Holocaust Memorial Funding, Ethics Offices, Civil Rights Bills.”

      Directly to my point: “On July 1, 2010, he [Paul] was one of four members who voted against a motion to suspend the rules and pass an amendment that prohibited “any person from performing lobbying activities on behalf of a client which is determined by the Secretary of State to be a State sponsor of terrorism.”
      http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/12/28/ron-paul-voting-record_n_1173255.html

      There are four countries on said list: Iran, Syria, Sudan and Cuba. Except for Cuba (which has been replaced by Venezuela), those countries are all a threat to Israel’s existence. Do you see a pattern, chump?

      The other three traitors, all Dims, were:
      -former Rep. Brian Baird, who wanted us to withdraw military aid to Israel
      - Steve Cohen, who compared Obama to Jesus, and Repubs to Nazis (for opposing Obamacare)
      - Dennis Kucinich, Paul’s buddy

      I‘ll look more into it when I’m not so tired, but my first thought is you’re mad at Ron Paul because he voted no on HILARY CLINTON (Secretary of State) having the power to decide who can and cannot establish lobbies? Seems it was more a vote to stop an executive power grab.

      As for Israel, I’m an agnostic. There’s no religious attachment for me. I’m not pro or anti-Israel. However, considering Israel teamed up with Iranian TERRORISTS to kill scientists, and you think the current adminstration is anti-Israel, they would be able to stop AIPAC from lobbying, no?

      Like, I said that’s just off the top of my head. I know there was a good reason for the Civil Rights legislation that had nothing to with racism, I’m just drawing a blank atm. Did you look into his reasoning for voting no on these things? I mean typically in instances like this, it‘s not the end result he’s opposed to, but rather how they propose to fix it. My best guess is he thought they were unconsititional for some reason. At least that’s his MO.

No, that’s what the MSM and establishment has been doing. You are so misinformed and ignorant of what is going on. You have no knowledge, nor spirit of discernment. You profess to be Christian, yet you bear false witness against your neighbors, and go around as a talebearer spouting nonsense. That’s against the Word of God.

      Sorry, Colt, but exceptionalism in GOD’s eyes is measured by what you do for others. Yes, freedom is a better word than “democracy,” but that is what we have done, spread freedom. The day we stop sacrificing and giving freely, we will stop receiving freely from God. Let me remind you that the ONLY reason we have an exceptional Constitution is because of God. He inspired men who feared and revered Him, and they knew our calling as a nation was to be the salt of the earth and a light to the nations.

      Paul’s definition — which you embrace — is as self-centered and selfish as he. We enjoy freedom because our military has always practiced sacrificial love, although Obama knows if he can destroy their vision, he can transform their mission to fit his anti-God agenda. Paul is helping Obama accomplish that, and he will be judged for it. As for wealth, it doesn’t make us exceptional, just enviable in a very wordly sense.

      You are angry because I — and many others here — continue to expose Paul’s shenanigans, so you throw dumb accusations at me. That’s all right, brother. I don’t hold it against you, but I won’t be silent, either.

      Know what, brother? You are coming dangerously close to erring like the Jews in Jesus time, who rejected the Christ because they were looking for an earthly king who would save the nation.

      So, let me get this straight, the United States is a democracy is ruled by the majority, i.e. mob rule (nevermind that the founders of the country never had that intention, nor desired it.) And yet the Ron Paul supporters who believe in individual liberty, individual rights, and individual responsibility are the ones forcing their will on the rest of the country even though you believe we should be ruled by the mob?

      Abraham Lincoln said “government for the people, by the people, and of the people”…not any of the Founders. It is not in the Constitution, the Declaration, the Bill of Rights…anything. And people know that Abraham Lincoln was not really about the people, only using any means necessary to “keep the Union”.

      The reason why the founders did not want a democracy is because it leaves individuals vulnerable against tyranny from the majority who can vote away rights (such as in the bans against same-sex marriage), or who can vote to mortgage the future generation’s livelihood (such as voting for Social Security, or Medicare, or Medicaid). Your complaint, then, is because Ron Paul supporters want to give people back their individual rights they’re “forcing” their will against you…

      Well, if you don’t support individual rights, then I‘m not quite sure why you’re in the country.

      Look; you call the websites obscure and not ABSOLUTE proof of a “Paulbot’s” side of the argument. First off, we are not in a court of law here. This is the comments sections on a news site. Second; since when have you EVER recieved ABSOLUTE proof of any story from any media outlet? They all have an agenda that fits their way a thinking.

      I listen to AM radio and up until a few months ago watched alot of news from every outlet in the beginning, finally settling on FOX. Now I watch none of the television news outlets b/c they are agenda driven propaganda machines for PROGRESSIVE Republicans and Democrats. (Establishment politicians) The people are herded by the MSM like a mindless herd of sheep driven back and forth between the two parties down the road of progressivism; CONSTITUTION BE DAMNED.

      The main streem media held all of the other candidates in a semi-fair manner, and holding Romney and Gingrich up as the save the day men. Only one source on AM Radio gave Paul a fair shake. One; on AM Radio!

      I was just a kid when Ross Perot was running for Pres., and I remember wanting him to win, that’s about it. I guess you think you wasted your vote by voting for Perot. I don’t I think the people who voted for Bush got it right. They voted for an aire to the throne; while you voted for an individual. Paul is an individual who is running on the platform of constitutional liberty. “Romneycare” cares nothing about that, and neither do any of the other progressive

Even if he were to abuse Executive Orders like Obama and GW, you cannot buck congress to the extent you would need to fix things. And Paul, being the principled, moral constitutionalist that he is, is not about to use the power of the office like he would need to.

Most people don’t have a clue about politics and just listen to Bill Maher or Jon Stewart (both Jews) and listen to what they tell them.

      You know, I’m wondering: How does Mitt Romney go from denying he’s “a partisan Republican”, instead claiming to be a “moderate”, and someone whose “views are progressive” in 2002 and then turn around and say he’s a “staunch conservative” in 2011? Could it be that Romney is a chameleon who will say whatever it takes to get elected? That sounds like the kind of break we need from the business-as-usual politics in Washington.
      It‘s too bad there’s no one running for president who doesn’t flip flop their views every time it becomes politically popular to do so. Oh well, ANYONE but Obama, right?

All of the states left are NOT caucuses and most are winner take all or “proportional” which means that with Romney taking over 50% the same as winner take all. Romney has 949 and only needs 200 he will get those in Texas and California alone. No real drama at the convention as he will be over the threshold.

Your guy’s policies are a smorgasbord of liberal bumper sticker ideology. I really like uniting the environmentalists with the unions to ship jobs overseas, nicely done. Look to Europe where the European union is about to dissolve because those countries that imposed some fiscal discipline on themselves are now unwilling to fund the entitlement states of Greece, Spain and Italy. This is really no different than asking working people to “do your fair share” and “spreading it around”. I will ask all able bodied welfare recipients to do “their fair share” and paint the graffiti on building and pick up some trash for Christ’s sake.

      Step one in not going bankrupt, has to be raising taxes on the wealthy back to what they were before George W. Bush. I know that alone is not going to eliminate the deficit, but there’s no way we’re going to talk about more drastic measures until we all at least agree to do that.

      Let me think about it. No. Not one damn penny in cuts until you give up the stupid tax cuts for people who don’t need them.

      @CHET,

      Sorry then, we‘ll have to call it a draw and let it play out to it’s natural conclusion.

      It makes no sense whatsoever to raise any taxes, by any amount, on any person or business, when it’s a sure thing that at least 70% of it will go directly to waste, fraud, abuse, and lining the pockets of union thugs.

      And I didn’t even mention the fiasco that is the UN.

      You’ll see Chet…….Oh the times…..they are a changin.

      I just noticed in your reply, it is Jealousy and Envy with you.

      “They don’t NEED it……..I WANT it”

      Chet,
      So you are absolutely unwilling to cut govt and insist that the only deficit reduction will be in tax increases. I guess that is your “bi-partisan” position. Your parties inflexibility is the reason why conservatives do not want to “work” with the potus. Your solution has failed over and over. Why do you think jobs leave America, I know you don‘t know so I’ll give you a hint, high taxation and excessive regulations. That hampers job growth which in turn means that to raise revenue fewer people must pay more. It is a losing strategy and has proven not to work. A flat or fair tax with no loopholes or exemptions is the way to fix the tax side. Your guy and his pal Buffett used every tax strategy they could to lower their rates. Nice way to take the high ground. Obama’s favorite companies GM and GE paid zero taxes and increases in their work force took place overseas. Nice way to create jobs. Buffett’s company owes a Billion in back taxes which he is avoiding paying. Your’s is a party of hypocrites, another example, Pelosi supports unions except in her own family’s businesses. Become aware.

      No, I mean what I said ending the Bush tax cuts is the first step, if you do that we will see what else needs to be done. If you won’t do that, then it is hypocritical to complain about the inflexibility of the other side. This has nothing to do with job growth. Rich people don’t create jobs out of their personal income. They haven’t for the last 11 years, and they’re not going to start now. I’m all for lowering the corporate tax rate as long a we close loopholes at the same time, but your side protects every loophole like it was the Alamo.
