I already told you what I am doing: going to the BPOU as a Ron Paul delegate. 10 years ago I ran for Congress for the Libertarian Party, running on the same ideology as Ron Paul. Have you done that yet?
I've already spent alot of effort on this whole revolution deal, starting 12 or more years ago. It's getting to the point where I'm just going to look out for myself from now on. Let the socialists and fascists have their way with the country. I can take care of myself. Most people are too fricking ignorant to understand how they are getting screwed by the Establishment. Then when we tell them about freedom, people act like WE are the ones trying to screw them.
I'm going as far as I can as a Ron Paul delegate. But I truly think Ron will make a big mistake by not running as a Libertarian. That would be a revolution. Going through the process of trying to reform the Republican Party will be a big waste of time, in my opinion. If it works out, good. If it doesn't, well, I told you so.

I was for the independent run.....
But if Ron Paul is in this for long haul, as in willing to run in 2012........
He should make that clear.....Nader is running at 76 though no one takes him seriously.
If Ron Paul is looking to go the Reagan route......He should announce his intentions to his supporters.....
Reagan was shunned by the republican establishment in 1976......but used the time from then until 1980 to build a strong organization to compete the next time around which the establishment could not use the same tactics to marginilze him like 1976....
The Ron Paul revolution is splintering.....if he announced to everyone that he is every intention of running again in 2012, this would revive the effort, imagine fundraising from the day after the election to 2012 and the base that has already been built having 4 years to spread the message....if Ron Paul promised a 2012 presidential run.....the Ron Paul revolution could set its site on a realistic goal.....4 years to get name recognition....4 years to spread the message....and 4 years to fundraise.....4 years to win the presidency....look how much money we raised.....look how much we accomplished....imagine if we had 4 years to work with.......we could if he would run in 2012.
That is our most realistic chance of a Ron Paul presidency......76 would be old to run, but as long as he sounds intelligent as he does today in 4 years, I don't see the age factor a problem. I really hope Ron chooses this route....in 4 years the economy should be in shambles based on the data i've been seeing.....RP could have an organization many times stronger than he does now....this is probably the only chance for an RP presidency at this point....building for 2012 and the sooner he expressed his willingness to run in 2012.....the quicker we could get to work into making it a reality.

LOL
I've said from the beginning that Ron Paul would not run third party. Also, this campaign (both official and grassroots), is pretty much dead. All hope is lost...
Ron Paul won't run in 2012. I don't understand why you guys would want him to run anyway. He'd be much too old by then, and he'd fail miserably again. As long as he gets invited to talk about politics and economics on shows for the rest of his career, I think that would be better and more effective for the cause of liberty.
