Now What?????

From Ron..
February 8, 2008
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

There is no now what.
From day 1 this was a long shot proposition. Either you support or you don't. There is no room for people who want to go along when everything looks as if it is going well. He's doing what he NEEDS to do to show the Republican Party that he is WITH them. It is THEIR nomination we're seeking, REMEMBER?
Quit 2nd guessing the Dr.
All of us on here have a desperate case of DNS (don't kNOw shit) especially in the realm of politics vs Dr. Paul. If he says the right thing to do is stay Republican, then it is.

Great read!
God, I love that man, and will fight with him until the end.
The day the music almost died
It appears that Ron Paul has shut the door on a third party run -- 100%.
The question has been asked "Now What???" Now, we look for another horse to run a third party effort to save the Constitution.
Many of us held out hope that he would run 3rd party. It appears that he will not. I am grateful that he has said one way or the other.
The problem is -- he has left the door open so many times -- while saying "no" that people are not really sure.
His conference call on the 7th to key supporters did not rule out a 3rd party run.
So, I donot know -- I think we need to start an online petition toask him to run -- but if he does not want to run -- why bother -- God Bless him for inspiring so many.
We need to find another horse it appears.
