I agree, he should run third party, especially since his son sold out to Romney. But he won't.

Rand paul is just trying to show Ron Paul supporters could be beneficial to the republican party.If they continue to sit on the sidelines it makes there whole movement useless and there message dies.Because republicans will see no need to cater to Ron Paul supporters if there is no benefit.Rand Paul knows he can change policy if he can show he has support but all that republicans are thinking right now is his dad attracted alot of right wing nuts.

Ron Paul and the supporters have a strategy. Just keep watching the GOP. Also, everyone seems to forget Independent voters, which outnumber both combined parties 4 to 1, haven't had a voice at all in the primaries.

Maybe review the voting procedures for independents, before making a senseless comment next time?

I think you'll be surprised at how stupid your comment was!!

Mr. Confusion checking in.

Four to one? That would mean that independents make up 80% of the American voters. I've never seen any statistics like that, could you share your source?

www.americanselect.org...

You Ron Paul fans should have been showing support for him at americanselect. I have been trying to send Paul fans there for months. Seems you fantasists had your heart set on the GOP even though it was painfully obvious that Romney was the Republicans choice. If Paul had gotten enough support through americanselect all you Paul fans would still have hope.

Pushing for the GOP nomination was braindead. How obvious does something have to be? Wasted months.

Many swing voters that would consider voting for Paul would not register as Republicans is all he is saying.

too late. they'd kill him in attack ads as a flip flopper and the "typical politician pretending to be different"

he's better for the country as an agitator in congress anyway. the potus is an executive, and ron can't even control the fringe kooks in his own campaign, he's a pack member, not a pack leader. he's the Mu male

What happens if Mitt makes Rand VP. Will Ron go up against his son, or was this the plan all along, to feather the nest for Rand and handing Romney the ticket.

Ron Paul will not run third party. He has explained his reason before, I will try to find the video, but the long and short of it is that it is a 2 party system. When he tried to run 3rd party early in his career he found himself spending all his money trying to get on ballots and trying to get involved in the debates, then he had no money to actually campaign. So without being in one of the two major parties, you are automatically set up to fail.
