Here is a new article from the Associated Press:
http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5iybyrJpNITSn-U8QIWUzrfBXi...

Here is an extract from the article with a quote from Ron Paul:

"Paul hasn't endorsed, but it is clear whom he is not supporting.

'I do encourage all the alternatives, obviously, because I can't support either of the two candidates from the Republican or Democratic parties," Paul said this month in an interview on Revolution Radio, an Internet-based station run by his supporters. "I think that might send a message.'"

on WHAT planet would that be? I have always been an Independant, but changed to Republican to vote in the closed Primary in FL this year, It was hard enough to register as a Repuke, given the current administration, but to vote for Ron Paul, it was an Honor!
They think RP Republicans will "come home" and vote for McInsane? IN A PIG'S EYE! Why doesn't McIdiot come home and start acting like a conservative Republican instead? The man is a CRIMINAL for crying out loud! Keating 5 member, but few seem to remember that. Sorry, we already have enough criminals in the WH already. Maybe he could rent a room in Paraguay with Bushie instead.

Yes, I was happy to sign and let the GOP know what I think since they spurned Ron Paul and have treated his supporters so shabbily. I was also happy to let them know that I will not be voting for the Republican candidate, unless it will be Ron Paul. Even though I don't live in the West, I will be giving them trouble elsewhere.

Two Alternatives to McCain Reported in Article

Submitted by WhitfieldGeorge on Thu, 07/31/2008 - 15:43.

This second paragraph from the article is a good summary:
"In the libertarian-leaning West, where Paul's message of distrust of the federal government and ardent individualism played particularly well, there is talk of Republicans straying from McCain. Libertarian candidate Bob Barr has emerged as a favorite alternative for Paul activists, followed by Constitutional Party candidate Chuck Baldwin."

Don't blame us.

We didn't do this to the party, the party did it to themselves. The neocons have got to go down. Then maybe we can save the party and the country. It wouldn't do the world any harm either.

Keep the faith.

This article

Submitted by victory on Thu, 07/31/2008 - 11:36.

is basically saying people will be swayed to vote Libertarian. Remember Chuck Muth the guy that bad mouthed Ron Paul supporters and the delegate situation in Nevada. Not really sure who he is, but pull up the articles that were posted here and they are full of insults. "Wackos, "Paultards", blah, blah. I am assuming this would be the same guy. It says nothing about supporting Ron Paul. I have no interest in McCain or the Libertarian candidates.

Chuck Muth...

You might want to check out this thread at ronpaulforums

http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?t=148029

for a long discussion about the NV delegation...and some very interesting posts from a guy called "Mike Davis." This Davis begins posting at the bottom of page 1... He also has written blogs using the term "Paultards," writing in a very condescending manner which sounds so very, very like Chuck Muth. This article says Muth is a "a leading conservative activist," but I find him little more than an annoying and inconsistent/illogical blogger.

So this whole article does nothing for me. Basically, it is just another spin on how unhappy McCain supporters and Ron Paul supporters will be flocking to the Libertarian party. I don't know exactly who Muth is or what his agenda is but it is clear he is not fond of us. I think there were 2 or 3 insulting articles posted here from him.

None that I know...

"Ron Paul supporters will be flocking to the Libertarian party"

None of the R[EVOL]utionary Patriots that I know are flocking to the Libertarian Party. They, like myself, are displeased with the Libertarian Party's candidate for President and, like myself, they are inclined to write-in Ron Paul in the general election if necessary.

Myself included. But I'm always happy to find freedom fighters everywhere.

Remember, we Libertarians and Ron Paul supporters actually nominated Dr. Paul for president in 1988. Many of us have been supporters since then, and many of us have been the backbone of this movement to support Ron Paul and his ideals.

In fact, did you know that the R[EVOL]ution logo was used in a Libertarian candidate's campaign prior to Ron Paul's run? He said he decided it was a good logo for Ron Paul's campaign, and re-used it.

I agree with you. There is no way I am voting for the Libertarian candidate. Even if it is a throw-away...I'm voting for Ron Paul. The only other possibility is if Dr. Paul comes out and strongly urges us to vote for someone else, then I might consider it. Otherwise...it is Ron Paul write-in. After what has happened here, I seriously doubt our votes really count anyway and the most important thing we need to do is re-educate Republicans to Liberty.

"The McCain campaign says they expect many Paul voters to come home to the GOP before Nov. 4."

Ain't gonna happen for this Arizonan. At one time I was an ardent McCain supporter, previous to hearing about the good doctor. His efforts to lead the push for amnesty was a cold hard wake-up call to the real world of the one party system. Now, I see McCain as just a poser, still milking his "I'm a Maverick..." line. If the GOP thinks many Paul supporters are going to fall back in line, they must be high on elephant dung.

I'd like to stay in the GOP and work within, but the itch to change party affiliation to the Libertarian party is pretty strong.

Politically, I'm finally home.
