When asked about an Independent/3rd party run, he sidestepped the question, did not confirm or deny he would...or wouldnt...went on about McCain being a liberal, that doesnt have the support of the GOP, and that he couldnt vote for or support him...and that many of the American people couldnt either, or the Democrats for that matter....
Say what you will, I think a Indy run is upcoming...

When asked if he would support McCain, Dr. Paul replied “he would find it difficult.” He went to add that he was at odds with McCain’s interventionist policies.
Then, Dr. Paul was asked if he would then support Obama b/c of his stance on the war. Dr. Paul said that BHO is as much an interventionist as...[insinuating McCain but was cut off.]
He went to say that Obama voted to support and finance the war and his rhetoric is a fraud.
If your rhetoric is fraudulent, aren't you a fraud? Fine line I suppose.

So do I!
At 2:09 he is asked about a potential third party run. He smirks a bit and says:
"Well, I don't think it's very practical, and I think Republicans deserve to have at least a conservative to vote for right now, because the conservative base does not support John McCain, because he is identified more with the liberal democrats, so therefore why should they be disenfranchised, although you know the odds are slim they still have a right to vote for somebody that stands for traditional republican conservative principles, limited government, personal liberties, I mean this is something the republicans used to brag about and preach, so they deserve a chance to vote for that."
From the context he appears to be referring to the Republican primaries... but how many primaries are there left?

I believe he's talking about the convention. Please don't forget that any number of things can happen before September, including but not limited to a public loss of temper, indictment, the public taking an interest in the eligibility question, a diagnosis of PTSD and/or a blood pressure-related medical problem. I believe the eligibility problem is a good out for bound delegates.
Nonetheless, I would like to see ballot access petitions in hand when the convention starts. Why wouldn't we threaten the neocons with a split conservative vote in November? They might be just as happy with Clinton or Obama, but calling their bluff will expose them to the real conservatives. That's what scares them, right there.
They really, really want to maintain the illusion that there's a difference between the parties

Yeah, something is definitely coming. He's been meeting with Bob Barr the past week, presumably about an independent run of some sort. I think it's almost clear he is either going to be running independent himself, will be supporting Bob Barr, or may even run with Bob Barr as a VP on an independent/third party ticket.
Comments like this just back up Ron Paul's general feeling too. After justly attacking McCain and Obama yet again, he's not going to leave us high and dry with no Presidential candidate. Ron Paul will either run independent, or back someone else who will like Barr.

Yes, I totally agree. Have the HQ come up with a backup plan all ready to go so Paul can threaten the neo-cons at the Convention if they don't nominate him. Just imagine entering the Convention with the endorsements of third parties (which qualifies for automatic ballot access), money (a series of moneybombs would be OK) and ads (about Paul's record). :eek:

He's definitely remaining as a burr under the McCain saddle.
I love the line about Republicans deserving a conservative to have as a choice.
He's in through the primaries for sure. I also think he's waiting to see just how many Ron Paul supporters make the cut as delegates to the national convention in September. Those final tallies won't be available until all the state delegate selection is over with - June at least. That gives him more time to hang around and see what happens to McCain. Getting the endorsement over Obama from Hillary is just the kind of thing to tick off repub.'s and push them closer to Paul.
Remember he also just won his Congressional primary as a Republican, so being part of a third party ticket for president just seems weird, if not dis-allowed.

I'm so happy he called Obama's war plan a fraud.

Yes, but we don't want HQ's blessing for getting those petitions done. We want Dr. Paul to have deniability.
"I didn't ask them to get me on the ballots of forty-six states. They did it without my permission. It isn't my fault the young conservatives want nothing whatsoever to do with your policies. It's yours. So don't blame me."

Why does RP beat around the bush when asked "Are you still in the race" ?
Why can't he just come out and say ( I am in the race to become president till the end!)

Because it isn't up to him. It's up to us.
CurtisLow, while that would appease a lot of RP supporters, it wouldn't play well with the Republican base. It's not good politics to continue a campaign with the goal of winning when you have already been mathematically eliminated by committed delegates.
Most people won't listen to a man who they think is unreasonable. That is why so many have tried to marginalize Ron Paul with the extremist label (whether racism with the letters, or "kookyness" with the civil war/slavery/Abe Lincoln silliness).
I think Ron Paul took a very prudent tack in the interview. My 2 cents.

Wake up people. He is staying in because because people have sent him money and he wants them to be able to vote for him in their primary. He doesn't want to disenfranchise his supporters by dropping out and he wants to travel around and meet with the people he hasn't gotten a chance to. Also, if McCain should die of melanoma (http://archives.cnn.com/2000/ALLPOLITICS/stories/08/16/mccain.skin.cancer/index.html) in a month, we'd still be in there.

God, I hope we do have an indie run. But I don't think he is hinting at it in this video.
At about 2:20 in the video.....
Ron Paul stated that Republicans deserve a conservative to vote for. He does not say..."in November. " I think he is stating that he will continue in the primaries to give Repubs a conservative choice...in the primaries.
I think he is commited to changing this govt from within the Republican Party. I resist this thinking ( as I am an independent and have long loathed the Republican Party) but....I give credit to Ron Paul for being smarter than me.
This may be the only viable way to really get this country back.
I doubt, however, that the Republican Party is as split or weak as some people think. I do think there is enough "Democrat hate" within the majority of the party to get behind McCain...if even to just not put a democrat in the WH.
I'm not putting it past this country to actually elect John McCain anymore. Especially if our good friend GW Bush starts up another war front....Iran, etc....and scares this country into thinking what we really need is a military leader. If this scenario happens....I think McCain will get the scared sheeple vote.

With an indie run, we demolish the power we gave Ron in congress. We take away all the pull he will have in policy making, if for no other reason than his fundraising. They took notice with what we have done. If he runs, he will get blamed when McCain loses. He will be a scapegoat and lose what we have worked for because it will discredit his ideas and place within the party.

Disagree.
How can the GOP discredit RP any more than they already do? He is already considered a loner, a Libertarian, some republicans even say he should be in the Democratic party ?!?!?
Yes, they took notice with what we have done. Now, they are breathing a sigh of relief thinking, "finally, he is gone . . . "
They will also take notice of what we are yet to do. Dozens of RP pauliticians elected to Congress! These pauliticians will give RP more support and power in Congress than he has EVER had before.
I hope and pray every day for a RP third party/independent run. The people do deserve the opportunity to vote for a conservative!

I understand and respect that argument, but if you look at it on balance, it's arguable Paul has actually gained virtually nothing by staying loyal to the Republican party. It certainly did not gain him the votes to win primaries, or maintain media coverage, fair treatment by GOP bosses in the caucuses, etc. Walking power is truly powerful if it's actually exercised, for after you've done it and it's cost the party something, you have more power afterwards, because you can threaten to walk again. The power Paul is supposed to have picked up by staying in the GOP so far is by contrast only potential power---until I see a POLICY change coming from it, it's a nothing burger.

If we had the delegates there to make an unconstitutional war plank in the platform, that alone would be worth the work. I'd like to see an "End the IRS" and a "legalize Gold" plank too. Imagine McCain trying to explain how those got on there... lol.

If McCain withdraws from the presidential race, Romney will reopen his campaign. Remember now, Romney hasn't ended his presidential bid, merely suspended it.
