Leaving the Republican Party is just what they want you to do; don't let them win!
Remember, Ron Paul stayed with the GOP after they kept shafting him, and he has become one of the most influential Republicans in history. Don't give in or wimp out, otherwise the establishment wins!
DEFEATISM
We will recover, formulate a plan, build our numbers, wait patiently, and then come back and beat them next time
I absolutely agree with you Matt. We would be playing right into their hands. It may not seem like it, but we really have them running scared:

The people you all saw chanting USA yesterday have a false sense of security believeing that they got away with all this crap. They are clueless.
Right now we are all pissed off and reacting emotionally. I know that the thought of even participating in this party pretty much makes you want to shower immediately after dealing with these people. However, if you really step back and have some persepctive, these guys are shaking in their shorts.
THINK ABOUT IT: For them to do what they did yesterday, and all during the campaign, shows complete desperation, don't you think??? And people who are desperate are generally scared and feel threatened.
I remember reading some thing in a motivational book that always stuck with me. It had to do with people working toward a personal goal. The author wrote that the majority of people who gave up were right at the point where they were going to have their breakthrough. They were sooo close but they gave up much too early.
We live in a society where people want instant gratification. We must not fall prey to this. You have to look at the bigger picture. Could you even imagine in your wildest dreams that after calling Dr. Paul a crackpot, the Republican Party would adopt into their platform to audit the Fed and a return to the Gold standard???
We must ask ourselves "what would Dr. Paul do??" I think he made it pretty clear in his recent speech that WE BECOME THE TENT. These people cannot take on a legitimate challenge without resorting to dirty tricks. Dudes, if that's not desperation I don't know what is. Besides - we've got AGE on our side. Paul supporters are the FUTURE! These people will all be slowing down and getting older. They can't do anything about that!
Everything that Dr. Paul spoke about is coming true today so I have no doubt many more Americans are going to realize this and our numbers will continue to grow.
Think of ourselves as infiltrators for the cause of Liberty. You step outside of that role, I fear we won't have a chance. Dr. Paul has the experience. He tried 3rd party and he couldn't even make a dent. We need to follow his example. He's been right about everything all along. Why question his experience now?
