No more benefit than there already is.

Don't expect it, just show your wasted vote while it's still possible.

After the treatment of the Paul supporters at the conventions, I'm not sure if I can stomach it.

It's hard to change the Republican Party when they ban you.

If you can't expect to change a single party, how do you expect to change the government?

This time around it's too late to get on the ballots. Next time around he'll be 76 yrs old. I think any hope of RP being president are over.

Well...Ron Paul's "big announcement" today was to give more attention to THIRD PARTIES. Yet he won't join one? Seems a little off to me...

Look, the GOP is solidly in place and has OFFICIALLY banned our participation in committees unless we support THEIR nominees. It is impossible to change a party when they BAN you. It isn't like they play by a fair set of rules, they simply change the rules when they can't win using them.
