This Candidate Doesn’t Quit

[qwerty]

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.

This candidate knows that he is not going anywhere in the presidential campaign and he sees a challenger at home that could take over his House seat. Thus he is going to continue to give lip service to the national campaign while he shores up his primary for his house seat.

But you keep on sending him money, he apparently needs it.

Do you honestly believe that a ten term Congressman/Presidential candidate is going to lose to a city councilman?

Sure, why not? His district is sick and tired of him making them look foolish. Paul made an idiot out of himself in the presidential race and people are tired of his inactivity as a congressman.

I don't know why he's hanging in there. Surely he knows he doesn't have much of a chance of getting the Republican nomination.
Unless he's going to pull an end run at the last minute and go third-party. I expect him to do that.

Republicans do not want John McCain, or Ron Paul, 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, and Ron Paul, is in the heartland by his performance in the Kansas caucuses today. Kansans resoundingly rejected the Arizona senator and the Texas Congressman, 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.

Fixed.

This one needed fixing too:

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 or to improve the general welfare of the American population.[hr]

I think Ron will be going 3rd party. His base is not with Republicans, but with independents and swing voters. Could be interesting if he does.

Quite a straw man you've got going there. What exactly are you basing this on?
