I'm in the UK so i'm not really sure if i count but i have really fallen out of favor with Ron Paul, something tells me that he has his own agenda when it comes to becoming President, i tend to think that maybe he knew he wouldn't get to the white house and so made a deal
When Ron Paul brandished a Silver Circle “Rebel Round” in Ben Bernanke’s face during a House Financial Services Committee hearing it was an unprecedented marketing win for us.

Being a Brit i've always enjoyed the American Presidential race than i do the British race for 10 Downing street (see that doesn't even sound as cool). I've always enjoyed it and even write down who i would have voted for to become President and see if the outcome happens (And yes sadly i was an Obama Voter) but i hope that this next election will be better and for those who care my Brit vote would have gone to Paul but again something is telling me not to trust him, just thinking but maybe he has been set up to be the fall guy to get everybody building up to this freedom in the white house thing and then drop out or becoming a part of Mitt's administration.
anyway, just thought i'd mention it here.
Did Like Ron Paul but with all the claims he is making...
Really not sure now.

Not only did Rand support Romney, he also said that he would be honored if Romney picked him as VP.

Alright, I'm game.I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Ron Paul was never going to get the nomination. Period...End of story. The game is rigged folks, has been for a while now. I will always maintain that I really like his ideals, and what he is striving for politically. I feel he conveyed the message fairly well considering the political restraints within the two party system. This is where Americans are going to have to face the facts with what we currently have. As a politician you either play the game, or get virtually shut out completely.This brings us to the Rand Paul endorsement of Mitt Romney. I just don't get what people are so upset over. This is how the game is played. I think there are really two birds the Paul camp is trying to kill with the endorsement. First, this will Allow Paul Sr. the get his floor time at the RNC, something he missed out on last cycle. I think it is very important to him to continue to relay his message on a big stage. Second, they may want to attempt a Rand presidential run in 2016 when Obamas' 2nd term is up. The endorsement will gain favor with the conservative party in general. As with the Paul supporters, anyone who thinks Romney will be elected POTUS this cycle is delusional.If Romney just so happens to win everyone can revert back to this post, and I'll happily eat my serving of crow. Now as for Ron Paul the candidate. He just doesn't have that "it" factor. For as great as his ideals are he tried to play the game on a corrupt playing field. You could see with the debates how much he was holding his tongue to remain politically correct. So many time I was hoping he would find that killer instinct and light some @$$e$ on fire on a national stage. That was the only reason I watched the debates. We all know to one extent or another these politicians talk out of both sides of their mouth, therefore everything they say has to be taken with a grain of salt. So here I am still waiting for that leader who is willing to bang heads with the establishment. We as a nation need a person like that, or we'll just continue to spin our wheels, never gaining any traction. We need someone who is willing to light some @$$e$ on fire in front of everyone. We need someone who won't hold back, and call these criminals out. Because a the end of the day that's what they are. When the person with that ability steps forward, I think they'll have much more support than anticipated. This may be why all this legislation is being passed (NDAA, Patriot Act, HR347, ect). They may feel sooner or later this type of person is going to surface, and it's going to create a snowball effect. The citizens are just waiting for that one person to really get it started. It may be my Bull$@#$ opinion, but here's to hoping for real change.

And now I understand why the country is going to hell in a handbasket.

I'm not sure what is going on, but if I were a part of a group trying to obtain political control, I would fabricate a person like Ron Paul who stands for everything which opposes that group. That way, it would disarm the opposing group from forming any genuine opposition. They would already see a group like Ron Paul forming and stand behind it, and so lose any power to form their own.
Also who knows.. maybe he was threatened in a major way and just had enough.

I'm a Ron Paul supporter and I don't give a fig for what his son says or does. I care what Ron Paul says and does and what he's saying, if you read between the lines, is very interesting. With some of the primaries still left to take place and most of the delegates not yet chosen, Ron Paul says that he has 200 committed delegates and several hundred delegates that support him but are nominally committed to other candidates. So if most of the 2100+ delegates haven't been chosen yet, then out of roughly 1000(?) (sorry I don't know the exact number), Ron Paul has half or over half of the delegates that support him. If he can keep up that pace in delegate selection, then he might just be able to pull the nomination out of the hat.
He's said that his campaign will no longer waste money on media advertising to get votes in the primaries, that apparently aren't being counted properly anyway. That's a good strategic decision. Now he's saying for public consumption, that he can't win the nomination but wants to play a constructive role at the convention. Is he saying that because he believes he can't win or is he saying it because he hopes Romney and his backers will believe him and perhaps ease off on the dirty tricks for the remaining state conventions. The legal actions being taken now to bring the dirty tricks into the open plus the perception that Ron Paul has unofficially conceded defeat, might all be a carefully orchestrated strategy to convince Romney that what happens at the remaining conventions in terms of delegate selection doesn't matter now and that further dirty tricks might actually be counter-productive.
To all people out there who supported Ron Paul and now wonder if they've been had, I say this.Ron Paul's Revolution was never just about him and even if he doesn't get the nomination, that doesn't mean that his cause isn't worth supporting. The PTBs behind Romney want you all to give up. Don't let them push your buttons and don't play their game.

As much as I believe this is the case, I don't think he sold us out by choice. I think something is up within the campaign, and maybe he is threatened. I don't see how he could just up, and sell us out. Who waits 30 years to do this, maybe something got to him. I have been wanting to hear directly from Ron, not Jesse Benton, Jack Hunter and Doug Wead.
