The Guardian: 'Ron Paul Suspends Presidential Campaign – But Supporters Stay Loyal'

Source:The Guardian- U.S. Representative Ron Paul (Libertarian, Texas) and 2012 presidential candidate.

"After building a political campaign that was long on passion and grassroots support, if ultimately short of votes, Texas congressman Paul announced today that he is suspending his hunt for the presidency.

The candidate urged supporters to continue their efforts to amass delegates at state conventions, however, as part of a strategy to gain a voice at the Republican National Convention – and influence over the direction of the party.

"We will no longer spend resources campaigning in primaries in states that have not yet voted," the Paul campaign said in a statement sent to reporters. "Doing so with any hope of success would take many tens of millions of dollars we simply do not have."

Whether Representative Ron Paul suspends his presidential campaign or not, the facts are clear: a Libertarian will not win the presidential nomination in a right-wing, fascist, fundamentalist, religious, populist party, that calls itself the Republican Party. I know that sounds like I'm stating the obvious here, but even Representative Paul knows this. 

Ron Paul's presidential campaigns was about spreading his Libertarian message, not winning a presidential nomination in a party that sees Libertarians as Liberals/Satan worshippers. He only ran for President a a Republican technically, because he's more inline with the modern Republican Party on economic and foreign policy, then he's with the Democratic Party. Not because he has some marijuana high fantasy about ever winning the Republican nomination for President, let alone actually ever becoming President of the United States.
