ABC News LIED. Dr Paul did NOT drop out. McCain does NOT have nomination locked.

"We are beginning a new era in our Government. The national debt, which has so long been a burden on the Treasury, will be finally discharged in the course of the ensuing year. No more money will afterwards be needed than what may be necessary to meet the ordinary expenses of the Government. Now, then, is the proper moment to fix our system of expenditure on firm and durable principles, and I can not too strongly urge the necessity of a rigid economy and an inflexible determination not to enlarge the income beyond the real necessities of the Government and not to increase the wants of the Government by unnecessary and profuse expenditures."

~ President Andrew Jackson

Founding father of the present Democratic Party, from whose surname inspire the political party mascot donkey after being called by detractors "Jackass".

Jackson administration is the only era that has balanced federal budget and eliminated national debt by paying it off in full.

ABC News' Z. Bryan Wolf wrote the blog article that spouts ignorance in hope of derailing Ron Paul campaign, claiming Dr Paul has dropped out after McCain gains enough delegates to lock the nomination for Republican president.

The ABC News report is a flat-out LIE. Mainstream media is trying to close the curtain on Dr Paul's campaign. It's far from over. It's not the media's job to present fair and balanced journalism, it's the gatekeeper protecting the Establishment candidates that favor the oligarchic dictatorship of Washington and New York politics -- by the wealthy for the elite few, which is plutocracy. America is a corpocracy.

However, Ron Paul's bid for president should not falter until he arrives at Republican National Convention in St Paul. There are a significant number of delegates for Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee who despise McCain so much they would not vote for John McCain, leaving to McCain's delegates to pick up the slack to give McCain the nomination in the ballot cast at the convention.

Here is the assuring commentary from Jeremy Blosser, Meetup grassroots coordinator in Ft Worth area in Texas (Johnson County for Ron Paul):

McCain does NOT have the nomination.

I hear some of you are discouraged even now. Turn off your televisions. The media lies, people die. How many of you knew the convention process existed 3 months ago? Why do you think the media is going to tell you all the truth about it now?

John McCain does not have the nomination locked up, and in fact the way things have played out is possibly in the worst shape he's ever been on the delegate front. Many of the Huckabee people are not going to vote for him. In our conventions last night, the no-confidence-in-McCain resolution passed unanimously in many rooms where we were not the majority. Those people are with us now, as long as we get them there. You have their names and noticed how they voted on core issues -- that is your new canvass list! Go win them as supporters, and keep them in the fight with us!

We don't need a bunch of candidates at St. Paul to keep going. We
need a bunch of delegates there to keep going. Many of them were
never bound in the first place, and many of the rest are now released and mad. The floor is going to be McCain-vs-everybody, and his support is just not there in even the people on the ground that are saying they'll vote for him. Remember what we told you about Reagan's Raiders, and get used to the phrase Paul's Patriots. (I'm tired of them having that word, I want it back.) If you think that's a fairy tale then WAKE UP and look at what we did in Texas last night!

HERE is how we could have lost it all last night, and ended the race
in favor of McCain -- if you guys had not gone out, across the state,
and done the work. That's it. If we got killed in the delegate
process, it would send the message that we can't do it even in Texas, and other states that still need to vote would have a very hard time keeping their people going. Other states gave us a fair amount of momentum, but to me it really came down to us, here. Operation Come and Take It. Would Texas keep it going and make it even stronger, or would it fizzle here?

I need not have worried. Phase 2 of Operation Come and Take It was a resounding success. You guys responded, and I think last night may go down as the shot heard round the world of this Revolution. We still won't have final numbers for a while but there's no question we did something the rest of the country has got to hear about. The media isn't going to tell them any more than they told you, and we need those people out repeating our successes and expanding on them. We need them to be delegates in their own areas. Now. Point them to the resolutions we passed, and the strength with which we passed them -- to me, these resolutions serve as a great metric on how well we are doing in delegate strength. If we keep passing our resolutions, we are staying the majority. It's like the final numbers on the primary vote. Show others the resolutions if you want to encourage them; you can find them here:

Keep your eyes on the prize. We are after the national delegation and the party platform, nothing less. We had major success on that front last night, but it only continues if we keep going. We have 7 months until the national convention. We don't need all your time until then, and we probably need less than we've needed so far, but when we call we need you to be there. All the way to the end.

PS -- If you have signs out in your neighborhood please collect them
ASAP, they won't likely last today. We want them so we can use them
later.

Ron Paul Revolution will not be extinguished. It will keep marching for America's welfare. The recession is around the corner, with possible future attack on Iran or Syria, so when it happen, more people should take notice of Dr Paul's platform and realize that Paul is right all along on economy, monetary policy and foreign policy, and give Paul the benefit of the doubt by casting vote for him in the first and possible further balloting rounds at RNC.
