Ron Paul Keeps on Going, and Going and Going
Ron Paul is still in the race for the Republican Presidential nomination, technically that is. With John McCain already having more than enough delegates to get the nomination, it would take something unprecedented for Paul to be the nominee, but yet he hopes to make an impact. And he is.
At this point it is all about having his agenda on the Republican platform and since he is running unopposed for his Congressional seat, he will be around for at least another 2 years to put forth his ideas to whoever the next president is. But for now, he is still getting support in the primaries and still having a great deal of influence like in the Nevada Convention last week.
Just this past weekend he had rallies in Indiana. And the campaign is contending that Delegates representing Ron Paul are being discriminated against at various state conventions including Missouri, Oklahoma, Nevada and Texas among others. Ron Paul’s supporters claim that the dates and times of the state conventions are being changed at the last minute, leaving his supporters with no voice in the process. They also accuse what they call party insiders of sneaking in delegates, who are not really delegates because they were never elected at the party caucuses. It does not stop there. They also accuse them of taking important documents out of the convention halls, and refusing to recognize legitimate delegates that do not belong to their faction.
To top it off, some of Ron Paul’s supporters are urging him to run on the Libertarian ticket. All of this adds up to a troubling situation for the Republican party. Not only is the party not unified behind McCain, but the goings on, no matter how much truth there is to them, are being played out in a very public way. With Paul still getting a decent percentage of the votes in the primaries and today’s will be watched very carefully, he is making an impact and with a good percentage of the vote, he will be hard to ignore at the Party Convention. And there he would get his word out for sure.
What should Paul do? Should he continue running for the Republican nomination, stop and support McCain or should he run on the Libertarian line. What is your opinion?
Comment by Francis on 6 May 2008:
To be honest I think his helpers should capitalize on the stupidity of the nation, by showing up in droves at the state conventions. It’s the people who attend the state conventions that have the influence over the party.
Comment by Jason on 6 May 2008:
I think that Dr. Paul has made it quite clear many times that he will neither endorse McCain nor run as an independent. He will continue running right up to the convention, which is what I believe most of his supporters want him to do.
Comment by Gene Louis on 6 May 2008:
Ron Paul has made his decision. Supporters are donating thier time to support him…not the other way around. Congressman Paul will go into the Republican Convention as a Reublican. And he will continue to help build a delegate force as well as support candidates around the country join him in DC next year. AND he is doing a good job of it. So why should he change course?

Comment by Paul on 6 May 2008:
Face it the GOP is full of very old and hate filled people. I am a Republican too! I sat next to some real winners ,ready to follow the order of thier president and kill in the name of Safety for you and me! Great what a bunch of
They are too focused on Fear, They are run by fear. They work for the “Politics of Fear”.
Bomb, Bomb, Bomb Bomb, Bomb, Bomb Iran! McCains Theme song
They (GOP) fear to the extent that they are willing to drop their sacred Pro-Life stance the moment taking other Peoples lives are at issue.
I joined THe GOP because it was the Party of Logic and Ideas. All that is gone now it is the party of CYA. As an example, if you are in the womb the GOP will fight for your life, but if you come from a country that has the misfortune to have idiots on the loose using religion as a excuse to kill, the American People lead by a GOP President can kill you and Pro Life be damned.
I am having a logic problem with this. But now lets switch to a lighter subject the economy.
McCain will ask who for advice? If I am not mistaken all the guys on his published list of experts are the same brain trust that eliminated the Securities Act of 1933 protections in 1998 that have lead in great part to the current financial mess we find our country stuck in.
McCain is a conservative Democrat!
McCain- Kennedy, then there was The Keating Five, do you remember that. This man is the worst Republican candidate ever produced by the GOP.
I will not tow the line! Hell No I won’t Go!
They bring Rommmey to The GOP conventions to cheer for McDark Helmet. Romey (SP on purpose) talks about KEEPING ME SAFE, and defeating the mad men out there that without a Navy or Army or Air force Threaten the existence of all Free Men. That Romey is crap. What happened to Freedom and Liberty. I need a new GOP.
I need a Ron Paul GOP!
Comment by Ardie on 6 May 2008:
I supported Ron Paul because I think the Republican Party lost its vision when it began to stand for a new world order, free-trade, and high taxes on the wage earner. At one time the Republican Party, when it was in power, used a 40% tariff to pay for the expenditures of the Federal Government. There was no Income Tax until the Democrat free-traders took over. At one time Republicans were against wars–wars, they understood, tend to bankrupt nations. At one time Republicans believed in national capitalism (capitalism for all)–not corporate capitalism (for the few and the internationalists). And let Republicans never forget that it was President Teddy Roosevelt who first conceived of Social Security Insurance (an idea he probably got from the great Bismarck who, ironically, modeled the German economy on the American System created by Hamilton and Clay). In addition, Republicans were progressive and wise. I want to see both Democratic and Republican become excellent parties again so the American people can chose between the better of two angels–not the lesser of two evils. Dr. Paul I thought would have made a good angel.
Comment by Grant on 7 May 2008:
Ron Paul has energized a new generation of political activists who realize that participation is the only way the establishment’s policies can be changed. In a nation founded on the principles of indivudal freedom and responsibility, this should come as no surprise, but we have been lulled into the role of audience by those who have control and wish to keep it.
Like Dr. Paul, many of us find participation in the process unsettling, but it is the only way to achieve our goals. Nobody will do this for us.
Comment by Rosco1776 on 7 May 2008:
I voted for the good Dr. in the primaries and if I have to I will write him in in November! More and more people are finally waking up, let’s hope it’s not too late!
Ron Paul 2008!
Comment by L.Step on 7 May 2008:
I’m a Korean War Vet.(remember that bloody U.N. “Police Action”? — an early unconstitutional war) We still have troops in that rotten place (to defend Japan, Russia, and China from the North Koreans? Give me a break!). One reason I voted for Ron Paul is that he will bring our troops home. I am also a registered Republican and refuse to vote for that war-hungry McLieberman.
Comment by mike on 7 May 2008:
McCain does not have enough delegates at this time to call it a done deal. McCain is slime and the GOP knows it, if not they would not be going through all the antics that are happening at many state conventions.
Ron Paul is the only hope that we have of regaining our sovereignty & freedoms, most of which were given to us by God not government.
I will be writing Mr. Paul in on my ballot, I will never again whore myself to vote against a candidate.
Comment by Ron Paul Fan 2008 on 7 May 2008:
I will be voting for Ron Paul one way or another… even if I have to write his name on my ballot. America is finally waking up! Lets go Dr. paul! Lets go America!

Anyone notice that Bob Barr’s web site was developed by the same company that created Ron Paul’s web site? Both were developed by Terra Eclipse.
Comment by ash on 7 May 2008:
I simply ask why is it that on Yahoo’s updated Indiana and NC digital primary tote-board the Dem’s who have dropped officialy from the race have a name but are shown with ‘nil’ votes and electors; yet on the GOP side all the dead wood is still shown with last night percentages cast to the gonners-
Is this simply a distinction between DEM/REP primary rules for write ins – or is Paul still being hazed?
Comment by Greg Butko on 7 May 2008:
I would never consider voting for McCain. Aside from his performance as a POW, aside from the fact that I believe he is insane, and aside from the fact that he is a war-mongering, mouthpiece for the Council on Foreign Relations, his disrespectful attitude toward Dr. Paul demonstrates what a buffon he is.
Comment by daddysteve on 7 May 2008:
The GOP is operating in Iowa the same way it’s working in
Nevada and Missouri. At this rate McCain WILL have enough delegates at the national convention.
Comment by Cliff Treadway on 8 May 2008:
John McCain must be dummer than a post. When he’s asked a question about virtually anything, he goes right back to the topic of war. If you vote for an air-headed, war-expansion maniac like McCain on Billibama you’ll most likely be partially responsible for the slaughtering of untold millions of civilians and soldier. Not only that, but you’ll be sentencing your posterity to a *much* worse life than you had.

Ron Paul for President!
