Message from Ron Whoa! What a year this has been. And what achievements we have had. If I may quote Trotsky of all people, this Revolution is permanent. It will not end at the Republican convention. It will not end in November. It will not end until we have won the great battle on which we have embarked. Not because of me, but because of you. Millions of Americans -- and friends in many other countries -- have dedicated themselves to the principles of liberty: to free enterprise, limited government, sound money, no income tax, and peace. We will not falter so long as there is one restriction on our persons, our property, our civil liberties. How much I owe you. I can never possibly repay your generous donations, hard work, whole-hearted dedication and love of freedom. How blessed I am to be associated with you. Carol, of course, sends her love as well. Let me tell you my thoughts. With 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. But with so many primaries and caucuses now over, we do not now need so big a national campaign staff, and so I am making it leaner and tighter. Of course, I am committed to fighting for our ideas within the Republican party, so there will be no third party run. I do not denigrate third parties -- just the opposite, and I have long worked to remove the ballot-access restrictions on them. But I am a Republican, and I will remain a Republican. I also have another priority. I have constituents in my home district that I must serve. I cannot and will not let them down. And I have another battle I must face here as well. 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. I cannot and will not let that happen. In the presidential race and the congressional race, I need your support, as always. And I have plans to continue fighting for our ideas in politics and education that I will share with you when I can, for I will need you at my side. In the meantime, onward and upward! The neocons, the warmongers, the socialists, the advocates of inflation will be hearing much from you and me. Sincerely, Ron

good question, I imagine so, but a confirming source would be nice
Ron Paul for President - Join a Ron Paul Meetup group today! The Revolution will not be televised! It sounds like politics never was and never will be your thing, vast.

www.ronpaulwarroom.com/?p=5564 Quitting?…Who said so? By RoninMaximus | February 9, 2008 All, Once again people are not prepared to take challenges and see them for what they are: CHALLENGES. Dr. Paul has said NOTHING about quitting…why are so many so ready to just give up? You CANNOT do that. There is an awful lot of time between now and convention time. Stay with it, as none of us knows really what can or may happen. There is never any shortage of people who will tell you all of the things you can’t do even in the face of distinct possibility that is often not obvious at the time. Keep your faith in tact and go to work like this is your last day! RM
Well then I will have to vote for someone else. I kind of figured Ron was false opposition. He's certainly didn't help the 9/11 truth movement out any.
God is always good!
I do hope to see your definition of "step aside" in this context.

I guess the war is the only issue for me. If it's not Ron Paul, then the country is screwed, economically. Given we're screwed, the least we can do is let other countries be. To that end, I'll favor whatever candidate for pres is most likely to bring the troops home. I think that's our moral obligation.
Pinguinite.com EcuadorTreasures.ec
If there was someone else, the group would have found him (or her) long before Ron started his presidential run.
Pinguinite.com EcuadorTreasures.ec
That's a very safe conclusion to make.

I think that's our moral obligation. People don't seem to grasp how good it would be for us, and the world in general, to peacefully and quickly dismantle the empire.
Join the Ron Paul Revolution THANK YOU!!!!

I don't think we have to worry about Ron endorsing McCain, of course, but I guess you mean explicitly UN-endorsing him. That would be good, indeed.

The message has been much larger than the messenger. If for whatever reason Paul wants out but still maintain a grip on the apparatus, that is wrong.
I think we have to ask ourselves where we would be right now without Ron Paul's actions during the year 2007 and early 2008 of his campaign? What candidate or organization would be uniting us the way Ron Paul has? It has truly been a gift. What I read in this letter is a little different. He's telling financial supporters to be realistic. He's letting people who may wish to continue their donations not to expect a third-party run, which is a very honorable thing to say at this point. Now is not the time to give up. To give up is exactly what the media barons and the political machinery is hoping we will do. We need to deprive them of that victory by continuing to struggle for liberty. I echo others on this thread in making the point that Ron Paul isn't to be blamed for failing. He should be renowned as a hero for working within the system to change it for the better. Each debate he attended was viewed by thousands. Each interview he was given by the MSM was viewed by thousands. Each article written on his "Quixotic" campaign was read by thousands. Each Internet comment written about him or by his campaign were read by thousands. The fire is spreading, not fizzling out.
Unfortunately, there are many, many vast herds. We need to continue with this.
Ron Paul isn't one of the sick ones, though. He's just doing his best. If that isn't good enough, I don't know what is. This is ultimately up to the American people.
I've discovered over the past month or so that I hate the GOP base, stupid ass faux-conservatives they are. I suspect most votes for McCain are cast in hopes of bigger benefits or cheaper labor. At what point does wealth redistribution cease to work?

There is something honest about liberals, even though I disagree with them 80% of the time.
Ron Paul for President - Join a Ron Paul Meetup group today! The Revolution will not be televised! Liberals say government is there to help them rather than lie about it while exploiting taxpayers. Republicans are NOT conservative, for the most part, they are the idiotic greedhead counterpart to the democrats sickly control freaks.

I don't know but that point is pretty near, I think.

I agree. It is very near. The gap is a continually shifting one, but the bleating cries for a "stimulus" package is a good indication.

Given the current availability of post-teen virgins, is it really worth wasting your time re-transforming a diseased whore? Probably not. You're probably better off looking out for innocent virgins. maybe it's not only the republican party that has gone past the point of no return but america as well. as a nation, i cuss it for the evil, diseased, disrespected, whore that it is!
So Hillary ain't The Good Witch? :)

Absolutely agree with ya on this.........they were successful in eliminating that 'thorn in the flesh' called B-1 Bob Dornan. Ron Paul is another of those 'thorn in the flesh' type people, whom they abhor and would thrill to have out of the way.....then there would be NO CONSCIENCE in government representing anyone from places like here.
God wants spiritual fruits, not religious nuts!
Join the Ron Paul Revolution Such playground bull baiting is even sillier than thinking a conservative "revolution" would be a one election cakewalk.
Republicans (Democrats for that matter) ....... HAD ENOUGH?
He's not bowing out Cyni. Without further illumination it would appear he is just going to paddle out in his little Houston TX rowboat.
Republicans (Democrats for that matter) ....... HAD ENOUGH?
I abhor it. Damned good post, conspirator.
Republicans (Democrats for that matter) ....... HAD ENOUGH?
There's chaos leading up to the convention. TOS is calling for disunity. Ron Paul may be on to something.
I couldn't help liking ole rughead. ;-)
Republicans (Democrats for that matter) ....... HAD ENOUGH?
ok, Neil, for me, RP's declaration that he and his campaign concluded that vote fraud in NH didn't effect his results there did it for me. vote fraud was proven there and in the subsequent primaries. imo, that should have been his mantra--especially when he knew that he couldn't possibly secure the GOP nomination because of it. i just couldn't and can't get past that.
The only solution to this mess is to dig a hole big enough to nudge them all in and cover quickly
I learned my lesson with Pat Buchanan, which is why I never got excited by Ron Paul. Didn't Thomas Jefferson say something like "The tree of liberty must be nourished with blood ever twenty years or so?"
Life is a tragedy to those who feel, and a comedy to those who think.
you and several others..but i thought maybe circumstances were different this time...except for the VOTE FRAUD. that's what i wanted illuminated.

Dr. Paul seems to be refocusing his energies on his congressional campaign for the moment. We DO need to keep him in Congress, don't we?
I think that is going to be my focus from now on. You can fight everything else all you want but unless you have valid elections, nothing is winnable and nothing will change.
But what about the Myanmar republic? Shouldn't we be more concerned with their right to demonstrate and the denial of their right to vote in free and fair elections? I mean you know, they REALLY HATE US BECAUSE OF OUR FREEDOM.

How about some efforts from the post-Hitler Nazis or the post-Mussolini fascists of getting their party back? I believe that there are some neocommunists claiming exactly that in East Europe and Russia. It's like trying to turn some diseased, bruised whore back into her former virgin so that you can marry her.

The mass media blackout is the major reason that most Americans have never even heard of Ron Paul.
It is sad, but the radio networks, the newspapers, the television networks, and other media still control the masses.

To that end, I'll favor whatever candidate for pres is most likely to bring the troops home.

Dr. Paul is and has been doing the best he can working within the only system he has to work with. This idea that he should quit the Republican Party and become a third party or "anti-party" candidate is pie-in-the-sky dreamings. The system is stacked against people outside of the two-party fraud. If he would have done what people here want him to do, he would be nowhere right now.
If he left the Republican Party now and ran as an independent he would also get nowhere. Jesus Christ, look how the media treated him as a Republican! If he ran as an independent or third party candidate, he would not be allowed onto a single debate. Dr. Paul doesn't have the billions of dollars Ross Perot had to buy the air time needed to present his thesis to the American people. This is the ONLY way Dr. Paul would get the type of groundswell he would need for the government-media complex to allow him onto the debates.

With Paul gone, there will be no one else in Congress to propose legislation which exposes the Republicans as the liars and hypocrites they are.

So, if your aim is 'freedom', forget about Ron Paul. He has freely decided to stay a GOP, he freely entered the GOP nomination race for prez and he now freely decided to focus on his congressional race. Don't follow Ron Paul, follow his example.
As I grew up, in a communist-controlled state, ...
There is no place to run now. Please keep that in mind. The Anglo-American establishment has its tentacles into every aspect of the world's economy. This is now your country. (I presume you are a citizen.) You are now one of us, and any complacency or discouragement you might feel is reflected all across the country.
