He also sat with Ralph Nader to denounce the GOP in the general election.
Ralph Nader.
You think a Republican is bad? You all should have called him a traitor then.

As an elected Republican, he can't endorse someone over an elected Republican incumbent, what is sad is THE SYSTEM, not Ron Paul being forced to conform.

Man what a load of crap is circling in this thread...
An endorsement only is an endorsement if you do it out of free will. Did not seem like he had much say in it to me. When he gets elected president, then I don't think that he would let himself influence in who to get as VP or something. So indeed get a breath of fresh air. If you can't support someone because of something like that, you will never be able to support anyone so go ahead and try to do it yourself if you are so much better.

I'm sorry, but, what?
Congressman Ron Paul
Dear Fellow Texan,
As you know, America faces tremendous problems. I have dedicated my career to fight for solutions, but I need friends in Congress who will help and work with me in these critical times.
That is why I am grateful for the friendship of Congressman Lamar Smith. Lamar Smith is a thoughtful, intelligent leader who keeps his door open to me and is always willing to listen. As the ranking member of the Judiciary Committee, Rep. Smith's word carries a lot of weight on Capitol Hill and I am glad to see he fights to take principled stands on important issues like Healthcare and Cap and Trade.
Congressman Smith made a point of reading both of my recent books, The Revolution: A Manifesto and End the Fed and I enjoyed our discussion. True intellectual exchange has become all too rare in Washington and I appreciated his effort.
Lamar is also one of the true gentlemen in Congress. I value Congressman Smith's thoughtful approach and consider him a true friend. If more leaders in Washington adopted his style of governing, I know we could break down a lot of barriers.
I am proud of my friendship with Lamar Smith. I hope you will consider supporting him in his bid for re-election.
In Liberty,
Ron Paul
RP did send this mass email out a couple weeks back. I'm concerned about this blanket statement as there's plenty of bad GOP Reps in TX.
Don't taze me bro. Don't touch my junk. Don't tread on me.
Maybe you need a friend not into politics... http://saveadogrescue.com/ http://www.petfinder.com/pet-search?shelter_id=TX1472

Dear Alaskan Supporter:
Please let me begin by once again giving you my heartfelt thanks for all you have done to support me. The reason our campaign was so successful in your state owes entirely to the fact that activists such as you worked so hard. For that I am truly grateful.
Alaska faces a primary election for federal offices on August 26.
As you go about deciding how you will vote, I wanted to write to you regarding Congressman Don Young. Don and I have served together in Congress for many years, and I consider him a friend. Don has been an outspoken voice against environmental extremists over the years, and has strongly opposed the types of federal regulatory overreach advocated in the name of environmentalism.
I am also glad to have Don as a cosponsor of one of the most significant pieces of legislation I have introduced, the Liberty Amendment. Few members of Congress have shown the insight to understand the importance of this sweeping legislation to restrain the federal government, and even fewer have shown the courage to cosponsor this bill. Don is one of those.
I support Don's campaign for re-election, and I felt it was important for you to know these things as you consider your vote in the upcoming primary.
Once again, I appreciate all you have done for me, and for our country. Your efforts on behalf of our cause are truly remarkable.
Sincerely,
Ron Paul

Hi guys, My name is Catherine Bleish and I am a member of Ron Paul forums and I appreciate the shit talking
Ron Paul stabbed me in the back as a national ROn Paul supporting delegate to the RNC. I remained silent so as to not cause dissension in the movement. Then I watched him raise money for c4l, claiming c4l had defeated the MIAC report and money being raised would help them continue such actions - yet here in Atlanta, I can't even find hard core activist who know what a fusion centers is and I am slaving away trying to raise money for gas and food to continue www.operationdefuse.com - THEN I watch him stab the TX citizens in the back by sending out a letter asking for money for a 2 time bail out incumbent - exactly EVERYTHING CONTRARY to liberty.
Yes, I think he is a traitor to the liberty movement at this time, and I am entitled to that opinion. I worked my butt off for him, sacrificed a LOT, and while I learned a lot about humanity and life and love, he is not the man I thought he was when I was knocking on doors in the fall of 2007.
I'm not wasting further time on this conversation - it is my opinion, that I posted on my personal facebook, you have seen the video decide for yourself.
If you want to get involved in something that is truly shaking up the system - www.operationdefuse.com and support some real grassroots activities.
