As per Drudge, RP just quit the race. I was taken yet again.
Cyni, this is directed to you. You nailed it from the get go, and I got suckered.
I bow to you and accept my heaping portion of crow served anyway you care to deliver it to me.
Maybe we'll see what this revolution is really made out of. In reading some of the posts at the DAILY PAUL it appears that many of Ron's supporters are ready to go even if he quits.
The fact is Ron's an old guy and could have died during this campaign season and then what - freedom and liberty die with Ron Paul ? I hope there's some truth in the statements coming out that Ron simply hasn't got the funding to campaign in the primary states that remain and is pulling delegates together for the convention in Tampa. (It's really too bad that Texas gets screwed again).

I'll take a peek at some of the forums I got involved with recently. I can't help but think had RP just kept his yap shut this "go anyway" sentiment might have validity. With Paul making this very unnecessary statement, I can't help but think a giant wet towel has been thrown over the movement.

That is very likely the exact intent. Remember the people we are facing rely extensively on psychological/psychiatric control - "the meme is quicker than the eye". If I am correct, that he was gotten to at the time of the SC Republican Debate in the last election cycle then the entire function of this run was as a PsyOp
So, if I am right the entire point of the RP run this time was to prevent the rise of a real anti-fascist candidate. And just as everyone is beginning to develop hope that we might make a breakthrough the rug is pulled out at the psychological moment timed to prevent the rise of another candidate and to discourage the defenders of liberty.
Remember that one of the prime functions of a PsyOp is to discourage and demoralize the enemy. If you grant that the power elite regards "We The People" as the enemy it begins to make a Machiavellian sense - in a psychological way. The intent being to disrupt and demoralize the rise of a liberty movement which threatens the criminals in power.
The problem w/ this is that he's pretty much held the same positions throughout his entire career. Have they been "saving him up" for "this day?" There was never a guarantee that he would even make it this far. If not him, due to poor health, then whom?
You can file me in the camp that says that Paul wouldn't have made it thru one term anyway, the "foe" is enormous and earth encompassing and I sense a terminal case of "food poisoning" or the like anyway.
How many others would have run on real issues? I can't think of one other candidate.
But if he wanted to help son Rand, I don't think that this was the way to do it. He'll never have any credibility now.
The problem with the theory that "he did it for Rand" is that it is totally inconsistent with the record you site.
He was gotten to of that I am pretty well convinced but it is all circumstantial, but he had a real, clear to me, change in focus at the time of the SC debates last election cycle. There was a clear difference in the "before and after" and that is why I think he was threatened by what he regarded as a credible threat. If you assume that then everything else begins to make a murky sense.

Can you clarify that? (not sure what you mean exactly)
It's hard to pin down since I have no direct evidence, but it was as though before the SC debate he was making steady serious inroads, and then all of sudden his attitude changed - it was a subtle change but it was the difference between "fire in the belly" to "making a good show of it" as though he had been convinced that under no circumstances would he be allowed to win. It was at the SC debate where he repudiated all of his 911 Truth supporters in making a statement which was uncharacteristically harsh and absolutely embracing the Party Lyin on 911 - despite what had been coming out the back door that he thought a real investigation was in order.
And when I say credible threat I mean that it came from a source, regardless of the specifics of the threat, for which there was no doubt whatsoever in his mind that "they" could make good on it. In other words he was certain the threat was real and was certain that the people making the threat could and would carry it out if he did not play ball.
