Too bad we're losing our champion. Some will inevitably return to the duopoly with no standard-bearer.

Ron Paul has said himself this isn't about him, it's about the message and movement of liberty and following the Constitution. Even if the MSM and establishment do their best to marginalize the man Ron Paul, these growth numbers over the past few years show that they cannot so easily subdue the message & it's getting out there despite their best efforts. That's what we have to keep in mind, the bigger picture and a longer look into the future that while we may not win this race, there are many who are supporters of the message who will win so the voice of the movement gets louder in all levels of government. They already can't ignore us, give us another few years and continued steady growth and perhaps we will see the changes so many of us want to see.
If you like small government you need to work hard at having a strong national defense that is not so militant. Personal liberty is the purpose of government, to protect liberty - not to run your personal life, not to run the economy, and not to pretend that we can tell the world how they ought to live.

Which relates to the question I posed earlier. If we do not win the nomination, where are the newcomers going to go? We have been able to grow the libertarian wing of the GOP, but my guess is that we are going to lose a lot of the grassroots activists who will get pissed off and go to the LP or CP.Originally Posted by PaulConventionWV
People have probably left the state. The gambling industry is in the toilet and Clark county has one of the highest mortgage default rates in the country.
If we lose our champion, there will be nothing to return to. The duopoly will destroy this country before the next election.
If something bad happens, we will be blamed. If something good happens, we will get no credit. If nothing happens, we will be forgotten.
Lol.
What is the plan if he wins? Have him put all those saved $$'s from ending the wars into life extension research?
The President is worthless.
Elect good local Sheriff's and Judges and nothing else matters. And guess what, it only takes a few thousand votes.
Exactly, and that is exactly what those of us in the libertarian wing of the GOP have been doing for years. PA is a good example. In 2009 we had Specter and Casey as our Senators. Now we have Toomey in there. Granted Toomey is not a Ron Paul conservative (and many of us supported Peg Luksik in the GOP primary) but Toomey is a lot better than Specter was, and a far cry better than Sestak would have been. Sometimes it takes baby steps to get to where we want to be, and working at the local and state level is a great way to do so.
