Yes, it is sad. Ron Paul sealed his fate by not denouncing his party and running as an independent. I think he is a man of integrity, but quite frankly, I would rather have a sister working in a whorehouse than be a registered Republican. Democrats certainly won't save this nation, but they will win, get used to it.

You haven't done enough research on Ron Paul. He has consistently voted his conscience not the party line! As for Paul being on the Libertarian ticket, he ran as the presidential hopeful for the Libertarian party in '88. By running on the Repub ticket he is getting more coverage than if he were to be on the libertarian ticket, think televised debates. And you might find this of interest from the Libertarian website.
