Ron Paul: In or Out?

Depends on who you ask.

A lying, misinforming, distorting MSM...

"Paul pulls out of GOP race, urges support for message"

John McCain, who numerically clinched the Republican nomination this week, now appears to have the field entirely to himself.

Mike Huckabee withdrew Tuesday night, and now Ron Paul, the last remaining competitor, is telling supporters that he can't win "in the conventional political sense."

Still, he urged supporters to help him rack up as many delegates as possible in the remaining primaries and caucuses to help further his message of liberty. "We must remember elections are short-term efforts, revolutions are long-term projects," he said in a lengthy video posted late Thursday on his website.

Paul, who held on to his Texas congressional seat Tuesday, became an Internet money machine, with his supporters raising far more money for him than several better-known candidates. Through January, he had brought in nearly $33 million, nearly three times more than Huckabee. Paul also won quite a bit of attention during debates as the only GOP candidate opposed to the Iraq war.

When?

You guys did everything you could to IGNORE and DENIGRATE HIM!!

But Paul's campaign failed to translate that success and notoriety into votes (Boston Globe March 8, 2008)."

Yeah, he was a "notorious" candidate.

That means he was "UNFAVORABLY known!"

FUCK YOU, Boston Globe! Oh, and the votes part.

Pretty tough to do when you are working uphill against RIGGED ELECTIONS!!!!

... or the candidates own mouth:

"Reports that Ron Paul has quit the Presidential Race remind me of Mark Twain's famous quote, "Reports of my death are greatly exaggerated." The Ron Paul Presidential campaign continues, albeit at a different pace.

What does that mean?

Ron Paul will continue to contest the remaining primaries. Ron Paul's name will be on all the remaining state ballots. Ron Paul volunteers are encouraged to become precinct captains, delegates to state and national conventions, and to try pass Constitutional proposals to each state's Republican platform.

For example, volunteers in each state should try to attach amendments such as the following: Republicans believe that war should only be fought after a proper Declaration of War by Congress. Another possible platform idea is that: Republican Congressmen are expected to vote against any federal budget, Republican or Democrat, that is not balanced.

Want to have some fun? Just imagine the fun when the debate begins on these ideas.

Is Ron Paul still campaigning for president? Yes. Ron Paul has tentative plans to campaign in Pennsylvania and Kentucky. Ron Paul will also likely appear in other states that have remaining primaries.

The press is reporting that Ron Paul has quit the race. This is not true. Ron Paul's video simply acknowledges that the campaign will continue but will also transform into additional activities such as education and supporting other candidates. In Kentucky we just held precinct conventions and Ron Paul Republicans won hundreds of precinct captains. In Kyle Texas, Craig Young upset the establishment choice for Republican County Chairman.

The Ron Paul Revolution lives on! Victory comes in many forms. Help shape what the Ron Paul revolution becomes."

It doesn't surprise that the only time the deign to mention Ron Paul, they would lie about him.

And so it goes, readers, so it goes...
