    Ron Paul - This Candidate DOESN'T QUIT

    There were many rumors being spread yesterday and I just wanted to help set the record straight:


    February 9th, 2008 by Dan McCarthy

    A few news sources are misreporting Ron Paul’s e-mail from last night. The presidential campaign is not ending, not being suspended, and not even drawing down. It’s slimming down and ramping up — with over twenty states having already voted, we’ve shed staff, and we’re concentrating financial and organization resources on the remaining states. We’re going to the convention, and we’re fighting for every vote and every National Delegate along the way.

    Republicans do not want John McCain to be their nominee. He has only been able to become the front-runner because the field was so divided and because he’s a media darling. We can see just how unpopular McCain is in the heartland by his performance in the Kansas caucuses today. Kansans resoundingly rejected the Arizona senator, and McCain’s big wins so far have mostly been in blue states — states he won’t win in November if, heaven forbid, he’s the Republican nominee.

    Republicans want and need an alternative. Some people think Mike Huckabee provides an alternative to McCain. But Huckabee, who now tries to sound like Ron Paul when he talks about abolishing the IRS, raised taxes in Arkansas and vastly expanded spending in that state when he was its governor. Huckabee is no alternative at all. Ron Paul, on the other hand, has never voted for a tax increase, never voted for an unbalanced budget or for an unconstitutional war or government program.

    At stake here is not just the Republican nomination — which McCain still has not locked up — but the future of the Republican Party and, much more importantly, the future of our liberties. We have to organize in every single state, including the ones that have already voted in the primaries and caucuses, to continue the fight to take back the Republican Party and to ensure that Ron Paul’s principles, the principles of Washington and Jefferson, prevail. For the sake of that cause, Ron Paul’s campaign continues, all the way to the convention.

    That's a good question.

    In my opinion yes, it does matter, he can still bring forward issues, we can still educate the people. We can still pull votes away from McCain. Even if he can't win many many people have woken up to the tragedy that has been going on with the NAU, IRS federal reserve, so many issues.
    Keep the issues at the forefront.

    How is he going to do this ?

    I havn't heard him mentioned on msm for weeks now , where
    will he have a voice in anything coming up?

    Chances are there might be one more repub debate , maybe

    At this point I only question his morals to keep taking
    money from supporters when all the odds say he
    doesn't have a small chance

    Plus, he is in REAL danger of losing his congressional seat right now!!! There is a very strong candidate challenging him for his congressional seat!! He should be focusing on keeping his seat in congress, or he is going to lose it!!

    OK, you win, it is bad for him to stay in, lets let sleepng dogs lie, and when the carpet is pulled out from under them when the economy falls and the NAU is final, we can rest well because we gave it a half hearted shot. Every republican meeting I go to, I talk about these issues and when people get it they wake up. The campaign is not so much about the messenger but the message.
    So even though I don't have a shot in h**l running for local office, I should quit my campaign? I am bringing forth issues to the constituents of my county that have otherwise been ignored and hidden.

    Let it not be said that we did nothing!

    Ron Paul is the only candidate that makes sense, that supports ending illegal immigration and birthright citizenship. Why NOT support him? Okay, so he's a long shot, yes. But anything can happen between now and November.
