About time.
-
He should have quit a long time ago, but having only $1.8 million had to play a major role. He probably also didn't want to get embarrassed in his home state, similar to Santorum quitting shortly before the PA primary.
He should just go head and leave the Republican party since he isn't going to support the nominee, again.
Ron Paul to end active campaigning
Posted by
CNN Political Editor Paul Steinhauser
(CNN) - An announcement from Rep. Ron Paul indicates that the Republican presidential candidate will no longer actively campaign for the GOP nomination, but will continue to work to secure delegates at upcoming Republican state conventions.
"Moving forward, however, we will no longer spend resources campaigning in primaries in states that have not yet voted," said Paul, in a statement released Monday afternoon. "Doing so with any hope of success would take many tens of millions of dollars we simply do not have."
As of April 1, Paul's campaign had $1.8 million cash on hand.
But the longtime congressman from Texas, who's making his third bid for the White House, says he'll continue to try and secure delegates to the Republican convention in Tampa, Florida in late August.
"Our campaign will continue to work in the state convention process. We will continue to take leadership positions, win delegates, and carry a strong message to the Republican National Convention that Liberty is the way of the future," adds Paul, in his statement.
As of April 1, Paul's campaign had $1.8 million cash on hand.
With former Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich having suspended their campaigns, Paul is the last remaining major candidate still standing against former Massachusetts Mitt Romney, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee.
According to the most recent CNN estimate, Romney has secured 945 delegates, compared 286 for Santorum, 145 for Gingrich and 99 for Paul. One-thousand, one-hundred and forty-four delegates are needed to clinch the nomination.
Last Wednesday Paul told CNN that he doesn't foresee lending his support to Romney any time soon, and that he's staying in the race to impact the party's agenda. He added that to reconcile his differences with Romney would, at this point, be "pretty hard."
"It certainly isn't for the reason of disrupting the convention," said Paul, of his push for delegates at state party conventions. "I'm in it for very precise reasons: to maximize our efforts to get as many delegates as we can. I'm still a candidate, and to promote something that is very, very important, that is a change in the direction for the Republican Party."

So now that RP has dropped out and is also no longer running for re-election to Congress I wonder what he is going to do with all that money he has raised
-
This thread is mistitled, ...and very misleading.
Ron Paul is NOT dropping out, he is simply no longer actively campaigning for new undecided voters in upcoming primaries.
He is still urging his supporters to attend and vote.
He is going to teach America a HUGE lesson in the wisdom & prudence of sound fiscal management.
Let's hope it's a humiliating defeat for Romney, when he loses to a guy who is not spending any money.
If the GOP chooses Romney, ...you will have an Obama election victory in 2012.

Coulter said those things back when she thought Romney was still the 2008 Romney. Since then he has proven that he is far better than he was in 2008, and Obama has been even more of a disaster than she thought he would be.

Agree.
Stop campaigning but still somehow win? Impossible odds.

Funny. :) That's exactly what they are. I think his supporters are going to try and create a circus atmosphere at the convention. Going to need a lot of security.

Old "news." Your statement is false. She supports Romney and believes he will win.
-
He didnt drop put. He is focusing his campaign on the tactic thats proven successful thus far for winning delegates.
-
Old "news." Your statement is false. She supports Romney and believes he will win.
she changed her position. That doesn't mean she didn't believe what she said - she obviously believed it.
She took incredible heat and backed down from that statement. But you know she believes it.
It's kinda silly that the new way to "debunk" a statement on video is simply to play a video where the person is saying something opposite at a later date. It's stupid on a 4th grade level, to be honest. Of course politicians will revert to the official party line when they take heat.

It's stupid on a 4th grade level to constantly pull crap out of your rear end, and lie so much that you can't keep them all straight.
If anyone has listened to Coulter, it's pretty clear she supports Romney and believes he will beat Obama.
-
Shes doing the Romney Flip Flop.

Again, she said those things when Mitt Romney had not yet proven that he is a far better candidate than he was in 2008. And Obama was not yet the disaster that he has become.

Or, is that the Obama Flip Flop.

::) arguing about Ann Coulter covering her ass? Can we get any more fucking lame here? Who's the dumbshit who brought up Ann Coulter? The only thing Ann cares about is Ann. She isn't serious about anything she does. She comes up with what will shock for the day and sell a few more books. Don't bring Ann Coulter to the board and expect to be taken serious. Now fuck off.

oh yea, the title to this thread is a clear lie. Ron Paul isn't going to actively campaign in the remaining states and some dumbshit turns it into dropping out of the race? Actually he said exactly the opposite. Nice spin job.

Dirty Tricks in Nevada and Maine GOP Conventions
Romney Camp circulates Fake List of Paul Delegate nominees at Maine GOP
Mitt Romney operatives try to divide the votes that Ron Paul supporters were to cast for delegates to the RNC in Tampa, during the Maine GOP Convention. They did so by circulating not one, but two different slates, to make Paul voters think there had been a change in the official list of delegate nominees that were being endorsed by the Ron Paul campaign. And they got caught.

She didn't change or flip flop. Like the President, she EVOLVED. ;D

Or, is that the Obama Flip Flop.
When a Democrat flip flops they call it evolving. When a Republican does the same thing it's a flip flop.
Aren't double standards great?

There is no difference between Obama and Romeny. Some of their speeches are word for word the same. I posted a video of it not lng ago, the similarities were creepy.

Aoulter said Romney will lose to Obama. Period.
She said something different later, sure. MM2k can say "but what she MEANT was..." But neither holds water. She believed Romney woudl lose to Obama. Now, maybe she's had a change of heart - in that case it's okay to say "She felt that way, but has changed for some reason".
But to deny she felt that way, when she said it on video? Or to assume "she changed because she saw how good he campaigned"? SHE didn't say that- you did. And he campaigned pretty shitty - barely winning over a splintered field by outspending everyone 5 to 1.
So yeah, she felt that way, and she took heat, and then she fell back into line once mitt got the nod, so that she woudlnt be ostracized should he actually win the election. Making up your own reason why she changed, without letting her explain it for herself?

So did she say it or didnt she?

Republicans don't have the "evolve" option available because they oftentimes don't believe in evolution.
Obama is a "christian". He believes in a "man" up in heaven that tells him by written word to distribute wealth and love homos.
-
Ron Paul is NOT dropping out.
-
So did she say it or didnt she?
yes, she said it.
Then she changed her story and revised her position.
Her lemmings believe that completely elimintates her old position.

Her supporters here have established her old position, as well as her new position.
Clearly, she "evolved". Or flip-flopped, of course.

Now, now. Dems claim to treat everyone the same. So we must all use the same terminology. No more flip flop. She evolved. It took her less time than Obama, but she EVOLVED.

Yes she said it. It's in the two-year old clip. That's not the issue.

Really? Obamacare had passed and we had over 2 years of obama... and all coulter still wasn't convinced, huh?
LOL.... she'd still feel that way today if mitt hadn't won. He's a RINO, plain and simple, and she knows it. He only won because he had unlimited $. People aren't excited about it.

agreed - but what do you really know today that you didn't know in Feb of 2011?
obama sucks. you knew that in spring 2008. To believe coulter 'changed her mind because of obama's actions from march 2011 to today', and not because romney won the nomination, is quite a stretch lol.

of course she was, like many repubs. But she didn't say this about any of the other candidates back then (this was a year ago) - she said it about Romney.
She singled him out as to perform very poorly against Obama. Now of course she's gonna reverse course - and you had to laugh hearing her talk 100 mph as she was backpedalling on Hannity in order to still be allowed on the air on FOX.

she embarassed romney pretty badly there. She didn't go at any other canddiate. She went out of her way to call him out as a loser.
Now we have to determine why she 'evolved'. When hilary endorsed obama, it's not because she thought he was any less of a piece of shite - it was just about party unity. People always fall in line when the nominee is decided. Santorum endorsing romney - he hates him and said horrible things too. Its always like this.

So we go from Ron Paul dropping out >>> Ann Coulter?
What a way to deflect after being caught in a lie, ...either that or someone's ADD is kicking in. :D
