Did I miss something or whatever? Did he drop out and missed the memo? It's always about Romney and Obama, and both are TERRIBLE choices, in my opinion.

Ron Paul could still take the nomination right out from under Romney's and the RNC's noses, and I so hope he does exactly that.

Without Ron Paul the election is of no interest to me, the outcome (regardless of who wins in Nov) will not alter anything that is already happening, or in the works. If Ron Paul loses the nomination and doesn't register as a write-in in my State, I will vote for Johnson just to help boost the LP's percentage in the hopes they can garner enough to be automatically on the ballot next election without having to jump through a bunch of ridiculous hoops the Ds and Rs put in place to protect themselves from competiton (I have no illusions that Johnson could win the presidency).

But if Ron Paul takes the nomination, there will be a REAL (and very exciting) race for president with REAL debates on policies, and Obama won't stand a chance at a second term.

Corporate media doesn´t like him that much. When Romney frauded the primaries, they cheered Romney as the front runner and as soon as they could they continued to ignore or ridicule the liberty movement.

He was silenced by the NWO thug mafia GOP! The dumbed down programmed neocons have bought into the thuggery and false war on terror.

The only thing that is going to wake the neocons out of their stupors will be the fema camps.

He is still a candidate but is probably preparing his speech for the convention. It's not like you have heard much about him on mainstream media anyway. Even when he was winning states he got hardly a mention and it was planned that way. The GOP and media pretend like Romney has already won and he himself is so arrogant he already picked his VP. This should concern every citizen in this country, but the dumbed down fall for it hook, line and sinker. Ron Paul for President

He's waiting on the RNC.... there is no reason to spend money right now unless you are Obama or Romney and need to drown out all other candidates. Ron Paul doesn't take big bank money and his millions in grassroots donations are spent/budgeted. Ron Pauls campaign is the only one not in massive debt, for example Gingrich ended his bid months ago, his campaign was already 5 MILLION dollars in debt. It is estimated that between Romney and Obama themselves over 6 billion dollars will be spent this year on campaigning to beat Ron Paul, and keep control of the money presses and military. Even with the blackout in the media and the onslaught of Obamney material, Ron Paul remains a force to be reckoned with and will continue to be long after the election o matter how it ends. President Paul...!

Republican Ron Paul has been snubbed by his own party by not given a slot to speak at the upcoming Republican National Convention in Tampa, Florida later this month. Paul is often on opposing sides of the Republican Party, however has garnered a large, committed following of supporters across the nation. The convention will determine who is the Republican Party’s nominee for President of the United States, and that person will be running against Barack Obama and Gary Johnson in the November 6, 2012 general election. Ron Paul is currently a member of Congress and is not running for his Texas district and has plans to retire should he not receive the party’s nomination.

There are a few events planned during the convention in which Paul is the focus. The main event is the Paul Festival which is being held August 24 through 26, 2012 at the 1-800-Ask-Gary Amphitheater (formerly the Ford Amphitheater) in Tampa, Florida at I-4 and US 301. The festival is going to include several high profile speakers popular in the libertarian movement including Libertarian Party Presidential nominee Gary Johnson and his vice presidential pick Judge Jim Gray.

The festival is going to include several high profile speakers popular in the libertarian movement including Libertarian Party Presidential nominee Gary Johnson and his vice presidential pick Judge Jim Gray. No doubt they will be making a case that should Ron Paul not win the Republican Party nomination, Paul supporters should support and vote for Johnson on their ballot this coming November 6, 2012 general election to continue the Ron Paul message. Other notable speakers are Peter Schiff, Lew Rockwell, Chuck Baldwin, Thomas Woods, Walter Block, Larry Pratt and several more.

The festival will also include several bands including LA Pussycat, Split Image, Tami Gosnell, Revolution and many more. There is even a national convoy, or Ronvoy as they call it, to get to the festival from all parts of the country.

The two main sponsors of the festival are One vs Many and the Libertarian Party. The Libertarian Party of Florida is currently seeking volunteers to help out with the event and those interested can sign up here. Strangely absent is the Republican Liberty Caucus which is noted as 'the conscience of the Republican Party' and to which they have officially endorsed Ron Paul as their choice for president over Mitt Romney. No doubt many members of the RLC will be attending.

On August 26, 2012 at 12:00 p.m. there will be a Ron Paul Save American Pre-RNC Rally at the USF Sun Dome Arena where Ron Paul is expected to speak and make his pitch to supporters and delegates to make him the Republican Party’s nominee.

Ron Paul could theoretically be the Republican Party’s nominee in place of the widely expected nominee Mitt Romney. If enough Paul delegates vote for him during the convention, then it would be the upset of the century and could put the election in hyper drive with the media.

We will know by the close of the convention on August 30, 2012 whether it is Mitt Romney or Ron Paul who will face Gary Johnson and Barack Obama on the November 6, 2012 general election ballot. http://www.examiner.com/artic... (Links provided in article)

I guess the same way they have been getting away with rigged elections, Physical violence toward delegates, disregarding their own rules during the delegation selection process and illegal campaign contributions.

Ron Paul is a candidate, they cannot just disregard him at the convention that is supposed to be electing the nominee. I'm beginning to see why the government is stocking up on all the ammo. They don't really expect to get away with this.

I remember him releasing a statement saying he would no longer be campaigning which seemed like he dropped out of the race but it didn't mean he was dropping out. Romney's going to be the one running against Obama so the attention will be all on them. Third party candidates (Ron Paul isn't a third party candidate) won't be getting any media attention either.

You mean accept the iron fist of placebo bipartisan government...again...? If it were up to you, would you just call off the RNC..? I mean, this IS all just a HUGE waste of time and effort if there is no chance for government proceedings to elect the nominee, right..? The news and the straw vote are all we need. There was no fraud or unequal treatment during the straw vote and ALL of Romneys delegates are just giddy to vote for him. It won't make a difference that the delegates are unbound and will vote for whom ever they desire instead of who the Integral straw vote suggested they would vote for. The people won't have a voice louder than bank money and T.V. news propaganda. Surly people won't act on the fear that voting for the candidate they actually want will ensure the election of the candidate they don't want, right..?

Nothing huh...? I could post links for days straight, no sleep, up hill, both ways, in 3ft of snow and still wouldn't be close to covering all that has happened during those bids for President. Scandals, fraud, intimidation, hardcore crimes, Phenomenal fund raising, Paradigm shifting speeches, Sub-cultures that led to organizations of educated and dedicated Liberty-Minded persons who are making quite an impressive and positive impact on the way our government conducts itself. To say nothing happened is the over-simplification of the century. Did he win..? Depends on what the game is, he wins at life and he wins the true admiration of his supporters. Obama and Romney have never had the TRUE ADMIRATION of their followers. How can one admire that mess of greed and corruption. There is no way the leaders of this country are the best leaders this country has to offer. I refuse to believe that, rather I stick to the idea that the money culture, at the top of the financial food-chain, are responsible for our leadership and not the democratic process much at all. The fate of the nation rests in the efforts of The Liberty Movement inspired largely in part by the professings and integrity of Congressman Chairman Dr.Ron Paul. Ron Paul awoke a generation, the others struggled to put it to sleep.
