Shame again on the Boston Globe....
Mike Huckabee withdrew on Tuesday night, after McCain
swept the four primaries to reach the 1,191 delegates
needed.
Now, Ron Paul, the last remaining candidate, is telling
supporters that he can achieve victory....
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 on
Tuesday, became an Internet money machine, with his
supporters raising far more money for him than several
better-known candidates.
He also won quite a bit of attention during debates as
the only Republican candidate opposed to the Iraq war.
But Paul's campaign failed to translate that success
and notoriety into votes, only reaching double digits
in a couple of contests.
Still, Paul said in the video, his success "surpassed all
my expectations."
"Much good has been accomplished this year," he said.
43 comments so far...

Uhm....watch the video. The MSM has misinterpreted it.
That is good news.
It ain't over until WE say it is over.
Ron Paul has not quit.
He is still spreading the message. We will do the rest.
He has not asked for his name to be removed from any
ballot.
Lightning may strike between now and the convention.
Goodness knows that McCain is NOT well liked among
Republicans.
He is just the best that Americans can vote for with
MSM like your self slanting the results.
Please quit spreading falsehoods.
Admit the ambiguity of what he said in the video and
URGE people to listen to the video themselves.
There is a strategy afoot that needs McCain to shoot
himself in the foot.
You are hurting this by saying he is out when he is
only talking about realities and odds.
We know the odds. Do you? And the outcome if we fail?
Get real and start helping
We ain't giving up!

The American fascist would prefer not to use violence.
His method is to poison the channels of public
information.
With a fascist the problem is never how best to present
the truth to the public but how best to use the news
to deceive the public into giving the fascist and
his group more money or more power.

We need to POUND the upcoming states so that fellow
PAUL supporters know to go to their precincts.
We need to have another MONEY BOMB.
We have to stay committed to this short term project
for our long term r3VOlution to succeed.
Please join with me in writing to officials, press,
and leaving comments in the upcoming states.
Now with Huckabee gone PAUL numbers should spike in
the remaining states. My precinct went to HUCKABEE
and all our delegates will SCREAM,
"We did not elect McCain" and guess what?
The McPeople, like McCain were so arrogant many of
them did not caucus.
They underestimated us and thought we would not go
either but we did and now we are delegates and we
will have started talking to all the other delegates
to reveal the truth about McCain and to remind them
of the similarities between those they supported
and PAUL.
Especially HUCKABEE people. PAUL though different
than Huckabee shares many views.

Ron Paul is not "dropping out" -- despite media hopes
that their anti-Paul campaign has worked.
McCain (and his fellow bomber Lieberman) will
eventually drop out, once they are more carefully
examined. The "comeback kid", who miraculously
"came back" after saying nice-nice to Lieberman
last December, will find himself weighed in the scales
of the Republicans and found wanting.
I'm not the only Republican who doesn't want my
nation drawn into more wars and a deeper recession
for the sake of satisfying neocon interests.

Geez....same message, same media. I wonder how many
times this is that Paul has reportedly 'quit the race.'
The press keeps making the same mistakes over and
over again...why not actually watch the video?
Get the words from the 'horse's mouth' instead of
some other media outlet.
We Paul supporters have A LOT of the GOP
delegates....it will be interesting to see what
happens at the National convention.
If we see the GOP platform change their stance on
things such as the gold standard, policing the world,
and overspending, then we have done a great job.
Hopefully, and only then, will more people begin
to realize what a great policy he has.

Not at all what he said, but what the heck.

"The reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated."
Mark Twain
As much as the media pundits might like it, Ron Paul
did NOT announce the end to his political campaign.
He is calling for an expansion of the movement into
the "next phase" which involves political action
extending well beyond November.
We need a MAJOR course correction in our country,
and this presidential race was going to be part of
an ongoing struggle even if he had won in a landslide.
Listen to the video. It IS worth the time.

Even though there are a great many people who believe
Ron Paul is far too conservative (Libertarian) he is,
of all the nominees to date, the candidate who confronts
the true issues facing this nation with no flip flopping.
He has also been deterred by the all media for not
getting his positions out to the nation.
The media, as is their want, had decided prior to
this whole process that Hillary was their "annointed"
choice and Obama tossed a monkey wrench into that
little plot.
They truly didn't care who the Republican nominee
would be since they were Hillary/Billary from the
start but McCain was their least likely bet and that
has them back on their heels.
When this entire charade is finally brought to a
close you can rest assured that Ron Paul and his
views will re-surface in Congress and a great deal
of what he has presented to this nation will
ultimately come to fruition.
For a nation who alledgedly has professed they wanted
a "drastic change" in the manner that their government
has been functioning we have been forced to accept
some of the "same old same o" with Beltway insiders
still running the show.
WE SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF OURSELVES.

This is typical MSM crap... it's nice to know that

foreclosures up 71% over last month, worst job losses
in 5 years, gold and oil both up to record highs,
the USD in freefall.
I want to extend my humblest thanks to the MSM which
has gone out of its way to screw the only man with
an economic plan that ever worked in the history

Well its funny, the MSM never mentioned Ron Paul
during all the primaries.
They always left him out of the voting reports
and surveys, etc etc and now all of a sudden,
he is getting headlines when they think he is quitting.
Isn't that ironic???
The only reason they are mentioning him now is because
the MSM thinks if he is quitting, they won't be scared
of him anymore.

We have to let these folks that still have their
primaries coming up that PAUL is still there and
that they must vote for him.
I am amazed at the number of Huckabee supporters
that have come and told me that they will support
PAUL now.
I urged them to at least go give a buck to help us
let these upcoming states know.

Once again, the media ignores Paul until they
find something that they can distort and use
against him.
If you watch the video, he has stated that he isn't
quitting, and that his presidential race is not over.
Seven months until the convention, just about anything
could happen, especially since it is about time
for Democrats to start taking McCain down since he is
the presumed nominee and Bush endorsing him is probably
a kiss of death.
In addition he is already in trouble with FEC rules,
and the same war vets who spearheaded the attack on
John Kerry are now putting McCain in the crosshairs.
This isn't over by far. In addition, his numbers
were very impressive when you consider the way the
MSM ignored/misrepresented him and the proven vote
fraud that has occured.
When the revolution is in full swing, the scum in
the MSM will pay just as much as war criminals
like Bush and Cheney.

Stick a fork in him he's done.Ron Paul couldn't win a game of checkers, let alone an election in anywhere other than his congressional district.The public has spoken and they didn't choose Ron Paul. Which is probably a good thing since Ron Paul says he won't fight those that wish to destroy us. Making nice with the Islamo-Fascists will get us killed. Good thing that he will remain a congressman and do harm only to those morons that voted him in.John McCain has secured the number of delegates needed to win the GOP nomination. While he's not my first choice (I'm a Huckabee voter) I will close ranks around the nominee, support and vote for him. To do so other wise will ensure Hillary/Obama ruling this nation and imposing limitations on my freedom which would then be unthinkable.

I am not surprised by your propaganda.
Dr. Paul is not dropping out.
He merely states that he is unlikely to win in
the conventional way.
He may still win in an unconventional way.
Keating Five Songbird Mc Shame is not eligible to
be president under the Constitution, not being a
natural born citizen.
The Framers of the Constitution would not have
contemplated U.S. solders living abroad because
it went against their political philosophy.
If you think that their may be an uproar about
the candidate with the least votes becoming the
nominee, think again.
I have never seen any support for McCain and I was
at three televised debates.
He has always had the least amount of visible support.
In the recent Texas election Dr. Paul won his district
by 70% of the vote.
In the presidential election only one out of five
of these supposedly voted for Dr. Paul for president.
A person would have to suspend logic to believe this.
A voter that believes in liberty and small government,
ending the war, and a sound economy at the local
level will not believe the opposite at
the national level.
Vote fraud has occurred all over the country and it
is plainly obvious here.
I call on all Ron Paul district voters to sign
affidavits if you voted for Dr. Paul in both
elections and let us see what really happened in Texas.
Do not count this movement out prematurely, this is
not an election it is a Revolution!

It is interesting how the MSM spins Paul's message
as resignation.
I didn't get that from his message at all.
It is this kind of bias that caused me to become
an ex-Hannity and an ex-Rush fan.
I see things more clearly now than I have in over
30 years of following issues and voting for the lesser
of two evils.
I have Ron Paul to thank for opening my eyes
and encouraging me to seek truth about issues facing
this nation.
I am angry at myself that I slept so long.
Those days are over.
Now I'm angry at my reprentatives who have performed
poorly and misrepresented me as an American to the world.
I want the world to know that I do not agree with
my current president's course of action in matters
of foreign and domestic policy.
I also want the world to know that I am sorry
and apologize for my government who has chosen to
put profits before the safety of Americans and
many others on the planet.

At great personal cost I have worked for the past year
to put Ron Paul into the White House and to spread
the understanding of liberty in that.
Though there are scenarios in which Paul is nominated,
nomination is very unlikely.
As we recognize that, we can still voice what we want
with votes for Paul and by sending Paul delegates
to the Republican national convention.
But, that is not quite the same as a
Presidential campaign.
We have national emergencies approaching.
It is important for Ron Paul to be a national name
and to be in a position of leadership in the House
when these come.
Others are running for Congress.
In our political efforts for liberty, let's support
these.
Let's work for a strength of freedom in Washington.
If liberty falls now, it might be long until
she recovers.
Encourage those who still go door to door, but if that
is not your thing, then do the freedom thing that
is right for you.

Paul was the last chance of this Country, and I

Unfortunately, the 90% of the Americans, more
preferred to spend time to shop in the malls on

than go save whatever left from they own Country,
and they freedom.
He did call for revolution, and what happened, nothing.
I feel, the people in this country need to suffer a

Umm...will the nice folks at MSMBC please explain how
"urging supporters to help him rack up as many
delegates as possible in the remaining primaries
and caucuses" equals a CONCESSION?
What Paul is advocating sounds suspiciously like
the campaign of someone who is still trying to win
the race!
In WA state, we haven't even had the county caucuses
yet:
Ours was a very close spread, less than 9% of the
vote separated McCain, Huckabee, Paul, and even
Romney (who had already suspended his campaign).
It's entirely possible that delegates whose
candidates have officially dropped out may abandon
their candidate and go to PAUL rather than McCain:
McCain, whose pockets are lined with Airbus
campaign dollars, after Boeing suspiciously lost
a $44 BILLION MILITARY aircraft bid to them.
Considering McCain is all about a pro-war,
pro-security platform,
how can our nation POSSIBLY be safer when our
military machines are being made by a FOREIGN COUNTRY?

If this 'reporter' had actually watched the video

No wonder Ron Paul has not been given the media
attention he so deserves because of douchebags

saudi Arabia is one of the most extreme countries

Us Ron Paul supporters are not only up against the media ,
our current government ,
and huge corporations looking to basically make the

we are also up against many of our own people that
are just to lazy to get the real facts or stupid
enough to believe whatever they are told by those
who do not have the peoples interests in mind.
It's kind of like taking security advise from a burglar.
