Ron Paul to end active campaigning

[maddezmom]

(CNN) - An announcement from Rep. Ron Paul indicates that the Republican presidential candidate will no longer actively campaign for the GOP nomination, but will continue to work to secure delegates at upcoming Republican state conventions.

"Moving forward, however, we will no longer spend resources campaigning in primaries in states that have not yet voted," said Paul, in a statement released Monday afternoon. "Doing so with any hope of success would take many tens of millions of dollars we simply do not have."

Good riddance.

1. He's just done pandering to the public.

Now he can retire to his Star Chamber, and plot in earnest.

3. Good riddance?

We need that fly in the ointment. More votes for Paul mean less for Rmoney. I hope Paul follows all the way to the debates with Obama. LOL! Just like crazy ass Perot. I hear that sucking sound again.

7. I agree

I was hoping for a fractious convention, but now it will just be a coronation.

4. Ron who?

5. BREAKING: Ron Paul campaign to stop supplying comics with free humor ...

... several comedy writers anticipate being called back to work.

[cstanleytech]

6. Well atleast Ron will be a real job creator then lol

[marble falls]

8. ABFT. When did he figure it out that the state GOP committees were one thing .....

but federal GOP committee are something else? There's very little ad-lib going on, even Palin was thought out (not well) before she saw the light of day on the platform st the convention. Paul's followers remind me of LaRouchies or maybe the laRouchies' voting age kids, with a Robert's "Book of Rules" clutched in their freerepublic clasping paws.

9. NooOOoOOOoo!!!!!

I wanted the Paulbots to keep disrupting and tearing apart the GOP!

This is not fair!

10. This ain't gonna stop a DAMNED one of the "ITZNOTOVERRONPALL2012!!" bots on FB or anywhere else.

Fucking dopes supporting an economic Darwinist, racist, misogynist and social safety net destroyer.

Here's yer bingo cards. B . . . 7!

12. No, it's all part of a brilliant plan

RP knows the system is rigged and is using his campaign dollars more effectively by, um, whatever it is he's doing (something to do with delegate counts, but I understand it about as much as I understand all the droning on about fiat currency and ending the Fed).

[freshstart]

16. Sorry, I don't buy that.

See my post below. I think it a plan...but what I believe he's trying to do is send people further right to the Constitution Party. I've done a ton of research on Ron Paul and he's been tied to the moral majority types and conservative caucus for many years.

19. Very nice!

[Blue_Tires]

26. perfect...

[onehandle]

11. Back to his career of being a fake Libertarian, eh?

Paul cultists are total suckers.

[zappaman]

13. I almost missed a chance to say....

Fuck Ron Paul!

[maddezmom]

17. and fuck his fans, too!

[freshwest]

20. Are you Paulites registered here reading this, huh? Fuck alla yall's!

[smug_alert]

27. Right on!

I don't know about you guys, but my loyalty is with the guy that renewed the Patriot act and made it legally permissible for American Citizens to be detained without due process!

[freshwest]

28. Yay, we found a Paulie! Outted on his first post! Thanks MIRT, I didn't even alert it.

[Paulie]

29. Hey!! Paulie is ok, Paulite is the mark of shame

Signed, Paulie

[freshwest]

30. Okay, I'll be put in that 'T' just for you. But I've got my evil eye on you, just in case, LOL! BTW:

Fuck Ron Paul and the Paulites!

It's in the DU TOS, although it's nicer than I am.

[Mkap]

14. Good

I won't have to ever have to see their racist- 9/11 truther- anti-veteran-V for Vendetta watching asses no more

Seriously, Paulites scare me more then Larouches

[nxylas]

25. A little optimistic there, I feel

If my Facebook news feed is any indication, they are now posting three times as much as they did before, tying themselves in knots explaining how RP CAN STILL WIN!!!11eleven

[freshstart]

15. Hmmm,

considering Ron Paul has been tied to Howard Phillips since at least the 70s, see shadow cabinet here:
http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=u4ksAAAAIBAJ&sjid=AM0EAAAAIBAJ&pg=6887,3659648&dq=shadow+cabinet+ron+paul&hl=en

And Howard Phillips admits that he wants to blow up the GOP and send those voters further right to the Constitution Party, here:
"But Phillips has his sights set on more than defeating Obama; he'd like to blow up the Republican Party as well. For more than a decade, Phillips has been hard at work building the infrastructure of the Constitution Party, which he believes could pick up the most socially right-leaning fragments of the GOP in the event of an intraparty split. If Barack Obama wins the presidency, Phillips believes, this could be that moment." http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2008/11/howard-phillips-world?page=1

I don't think we should take our eyes off Ron Paul. I think he is probably one of the more evil players.

[maddezmom]

18. you're probably right but most of the youth that make up his fan base have no idea. imo.

[freshwest]

21. Or will be seduced by the dark side soon. Just planting the Koch seeds now.

22. now that is a frightening thought

[freshwest]

23. Sorry for having such an evil imagination. I've seen too much stuff...

[freshstart]

24. I don't think they

do either. And, you can show them all the evidence under the sun and they still won't get it. I've tried, it doesn't work. Most of them despise Bush, but Ron Paul's got plenty of ties to Bush and his people, even that doesn't get them thinking.
