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

Mr. Paul is a lot more anchored into reality that some of his supporters. This message shows them the difference between a fighter and a loser.

Losers blame their loss on some weird and generally imagined circumstances or they call their loses 'victories'. Mr. Paul understands that he can not win the GOP nomination. I do not apprieciate his insistence in staying in the GOP party - I guess his GOP membership makes the theory of 'the good Nazi' or 'the good Communist' more plausible, even though I don't buy it myself - but it's his choice and it's his political life.

Now, for those who, first, were advancing theories about Ron Paul winning the GOP primaries because his supporters were 'more committed' or the later discussion of he, somehow, prevailing in a 'brokered convention' with his 'couple dozen' delegates, or those who were talking about some secret master plans to hail-Mary everyone via some independent run, do face reality. Reality can be interesting too. Mr. Paul is a freedom-loving politician who seems to have a strong attachment to the GOP party and the GOP is one half of the curse that is taking this country apart, known as the '2 party system'.

As a loyal GOP member, RP is part of the problem, not part of any imaginable solution. His liberty talk, while nice to listen to, it is very much harmless to the system as it is confined inside the GOP section of the 2-party system. By staying an active member of one of the parties of mass murder, global interventions and ever more intrusive control in an individual's life, RP only, if not intentionally, legitimizes the system and enforces the illusion that the system is sound, viable, reasonable and the best vehicle for expressing 'diverse' views that are not racist, anti-semitist, anti-globalist, isolationist, anti-free trade, nationalist, pro-illegal-drugs, pro-smoking, pro-drinking, anti-seat-belt mandates, pro-slavery... well... most diverse views.

It is clear to me and it should become increasingly clear to everyone that freedom is not granted to anyone by their government or their country president. Freedom is a matter of choice. It is true that, under particular political systems, freedom is an easier choice that in others but, ultimately, it is an individual choice or, rather, a series of choices one makes every moment of their lives. One can be free or experience joy and freedom, regardless of Mao being the chairman of the country or Ron Paul presiding in the White House and one can live like a rat or like a sheep when one finds it more advantageous or more desirable to live that way. Ultimately, one freely chooses to wear chains, server a master, charge with the mob or live like an individual.

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.

Trotsky is to real revolution, what Ron Paul is to Roberts Rules of order. With his loyalty oath to the GOP, RP and his effort are hereby deposited, head first, into the ash heap of history alongside that of Perot's "United we Stand" and the "Buchanan Brigades." Freedom will come at the barrel of a gun or for the more timid, compliance to government dictate. That choice is ours to reach independently.

You trash RP's efforts because why? Because he didn't succeed?

You're not exactly kicking butt, yourself, so it seems your efforts are no better than his.

Why do people blame the freedom fighters when they don't win against the jackboots?

If you call honesty (Paul isn't a leader) trashing, you're the one who needs help. Your continued faith in a fraud explains all to well why we're in the mess we're are. So pump up the blimp and go vote for the lesser of two evil. Ron Paul, Republican, TX, surely will.

So now Ron Paul is a fraud....

I got no time to bother with that take.

American politics are a fraud, and Ron Paul is a proud member of the Republican branch of the national establishment party. His words, not mine.

He has just now proven that by his own words, failing to now run as a third party candidate with a real chance to win the general election. You are correct, sir.

"real chance?". Try "Fat Chance".

I mean if he decided to go independent/3rd party I'd support him, but how can you fault someone who won a seat in congress 10 times while talking about the Constitution?

Ron has done the 3rd party thing before. Can't we respect his experience in this decision to stay in the R party? Apparently some can't. Ron's been there. Ron's done that. The vast majority of us haven't done either.

Are you saying RPs 'experience' has led him to stay in a party which is led by a genocidal mass murdered? A party filled with wide stanced, cross dressing perverts? Who does Paul eat lunch with, the overt Barney Frank or the closet David Drier?No man worth his salt would remain in the Republican party.....

Abso-freegan-lutly.

He is, after all, immune to their cross dressing, both figurative and literal.

The titular leader of his precious GOP should be chained by the neck to a docket at the Hague and tried for war crimes. And RP is choosing to remain aligned to that? The man is a sellout and he wouldn't have collected a dime had people known in advance his proclivity to be surrounded by queers and internationalists. I want my $100 back.

He has never been so aligned and if you think otherwise then you're wearing some muddy goggles.

You act like the GOP is proud to have Ron Paul as a Republican. In case you hadn't noticed, they hate the guy.

All the more reason to put the Nation Killers in the rear view mirror.
