As the Democratic presidential candidates held pre-primary rallies yesterday in Indiana and North Carolina, and presumptive Republican nominee John McCain spoke to the Charlotte Chamber of Commerce, another major-party presidential candidate continued his own quest for nomination, headlining a "Freedom Rally" on a Fort Wayne, Ind., university campus.
Rep. Ron Paul (R-Tex.) told supporters in early March, through a Web video, that he knew he was no longer in the running for the presidency, and aides said his campaign would be "winding down." But it turns out Paul never stopped running for president.

Like a bad penny.
Right. It can’t end if it never got started.
FYI, the spokesman ‘Jesse Benton’ is the one most folks blame for how poorly the campaign was run and the so called misstatement earlier that he had dropped out. The funny thing is he is about to become Paul’s son in law.
John McCain will not win without the support of Ron Paul. Go ahead, flame on.
“John McCain will not win without the support of Ron Paul. Go ahead, flame on.”
No flame suit necessary. If 10% or more republicans won’t line up behind McCain and vote for him, he will not win the election. And then the republican party will whine and cry that we didn’t vote for their RINO.
Who?
Paul won’t endorse McCain. Paul is for smaller, less intrusive government like Republicans used to be.
Why flame, you are right. Paul has already hinted he likes Obama.
That's not an endorsement, that's an acknowledgement.
When you see Paul standing next to Obama crafting foreign policy like McCain did to Kennedy on amnesty, get back to me.
He's saying he favors Obama's foreign policy over McCain's, ergo, he's more in line with Obama's foreign policy than McCain. But he never said he endorses Obama. It's just his opinion. I don't know why, because Paul just contradicts his own foreign policy, since he wouldn't give billions to Africa and commit to globalist organizations like Obama would.
Anyway, Paul's virtually out of the race now. Why the continued piling-on?
I see you didn’t listen to the video. When asked, if he had to support someone right now, who would you support, after so hos and hums, Paul said ‘that is probably Obama’ (starting at 3 minute mark).
Compare him to McCain and he starts looking like a Silver Dollar.
Why not? It gives them something to do and keeps them from actually having to debate things.
Some people can’t give over themselves, but look what happened to one such individual with post #15:

I guess RP thinks he can keep on bilking the Paulbots for more donations and selling their contact info. to spammers by making them think his campaign is still ongoing.
I guess he really is the cynical politician that we always knew he was. ;)
That is the reality, I am just talking about who the supporters seem to blame (after they blame conspiracies of course).
John McCain nor any other real Republican would want the support of Baghdad Paul or his American-hating cultist followers.
LOL Then from my perspective McCain would be a thousand dollar bill. I don't like McCain much, but I really dislike Ronnie.
Paul is for surrender while John McCain is for the annihilation of our enemies.
Libertarian ping! To be added or removed freepmail me or post a message here.
John McCain is for big government at home and abroad ( policing the world), Ron Paul is not.
I can't wait to see people like you miserable in November.
If you like Pro-La Raza, more taxes, anti-Bill of Rights, wishy-washy on RKBA issues, type RINO's... then McCain is definitely your boy.
Unfortunately, he'll also help keep the Dems in power by driving off the GOP base in droves.
Nice one Ace. How about just switching Teams and get it over with?
Just two reasons I prefer McCain (or almost anyone) over nut-boy Ronnie.
Neither of which McInsane is keen on doing.
Also, Paul is on record as thinking the idea that the US FedGov was directly involved in the plot is idiotic. He was correct in saying that Government policies allowed such a plot to succeed.
If you have problems with that, tough.
Sure. . . that's why all the truthers thought he was the cat's meow.
You can have him. He'll never be President.
Let freedom ping!
McCain apologized for someone else using Obamas middle name and you expect him to get at the root of evil? ROFLMAO.
I freaking LOVE the new Paul ping graphic. Well done!
That graphic is perfect. LOL
Strange that you know these details, considering that you’re not a supporter. Why do you devote so much attention to someone who will not be the R nominee and who is averaging less than 10% in the primaries etc.?
RSS feeds are an amazing thing. You can get a weeks worth of information in a few minutes. One could easily turn the question around to all the people who bash McAmnesty, Osama or Hilldog, strange people know so much if they aren’t a supporter.
“Sure. . . that’s why all the truthers thought he was the cat’s meow.”
I’ve wondered about that. I can only hypothesize that the “9-11 was an inside job” crowd are attracted to any political leader who is seen as being open and honest.
I was a truther during the Clinton administration (ie. Waco etc), so I can sympathize with a genuine desire for accountability in gov’t, even if misguided. Can’t you?
Subject: Muslim Takeovers: How They Happen
The Muslim Takeover of the West; How it Works:
(Adapted from Dr. Peter Hammond’s book: Slavery, Terrorism and Islam: The Historical Roots and Contemporary Threat.)
For anyone who may still have lingering doubts about the real danger of the Muslim onslaught of the West, this may be the most revealing analysis of the threat of the Islamic Jihad that you will ever read. The reasoning is impeccable and the conclusions reached are both obvious and startling.
Islam is not a religion nor is it a cult. It is a complete system. Islam has religious, legal, political, economic and military components. The religious component is a beard for all the other components. Islamization occurs when there are sufficient Muslims in a country to agitate for their so-called ‘religious rights.’
When politically correct and culturally diverse societies agree to ‘the reasonable’ Muslim demands for their ‘religious rights,’ they also get the other components under the table. Here’s how it works — percentages source CIA: The World Fact Book (2007).
As long as the Muslim population remains around 1% of any given country they will be regarded as a peace-loving minority and not as a threat to anyone. In fact, they may be featured in articles and films, stereotyped for their colorful uniqueness:
United States — Muslim 1.0%
Australia — Muslim 1.5%
Canada — Muslim 1.9%
China — Muslim 1%-2%
Italy — Muslim 1.5%
Norway — Muslim 1.8%
At 2% and 3% they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs:
Denmark — Muslim 2%
Germany — Muslim 3.7%
United Kingdom — Muslim 2.7%
Spain — Muslim 4%
Thailand — Muslim 4.6%
From 5% on they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population. They will push for the introduction of halal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims. They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature it on their shelves — along wi th threats for failure to comply. (United States).
France — Muslim 8%
Philippines — Muslim 5%
Sweden — Muslim 5% Switzerland — Muslim 4.3%
The Netherlands — Muslim 5.5%
Trinidad & Tobago — Muslim 5.8%
At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves under Sharia, the Islamic Law. The ultimate goal of Islam is not to convert the world but to establish Sharia law over the entire world.
When Muslims reach 10% of the population, they will increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions (Paris — car-burnings). Any non-Muslim action that offends Islam will result in uprisings and threats (Amsterdam — Mohammed cartoons).
Guyana — Muslim 10%
India — Muslim 13.4%
Israel — Muslim 16%
Kenya — Muslim 10%
Russia — Muslim 10-15%
After reaching 20% expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings and church and synagogue burning:
Ethiopia — Muslim 32.8%
At 40% you will find widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks and ongoing militia warfare:
Bosnia — Muslim 40%
Chad — Muslim 53.1%
Lebanon — Muslim 59.7%
From 60% you may expect unfettered persecution of non-believers and other religions, sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia Law as a weapon and Jizya, the tax placed on infidels:
Albania — Muslim 70%
Malaysia — Muslim 60.4%
Qatar — Muslim 77.5%
Sudan — Muslim 70%
Bangladesh — Muslim 83%
Egypt — Muslim 90%
Gaza — Muslim 98.7%
Indonesia — Muslim 86.1%
Iran — Muslim 98%
Iraq — Muslim 97%
Jordan — Muslim 92%
Morocco — Muslim 98.7%
Pakistan — Muslim 97%
Palestine — Muslim 99%
Syria — Muslim 90%
Tajikistan — Muslim 90%
Turkey — Muslim 99.8%
United Arab Emirates — Muslim 96%
100% will usher in the peace of ‘Dar-es-Salaam’ — the Islamic House of Peace — there’s supposed to be peace because everybody is a Muslim:
Did you notice this? Let me repeat it so it becomes more obvious.
Iraq is Muslim 97%!
Iraq is Muslim 97%!
Iraq is Muslim 97%!
WHY ARE WE IN IRAQ? WHY ARE WE HELPING THE ONE RELIGION THAT HAS SWORN TO OVERTAKE CHRISTIAN AMERICA?
Do you really think that this religion is going to start editing their Koran because we fought for democracy in Iraq?
THINK AGAIN! On a similar subject where too many Americans are lost. Bush wants to turn Israel into a Palestinian state and FReepers continually deny it. What ever makes you keep your faith in Bush will lead to the destruction of Israel.
Yup. They still react the same way.

LOL!
LOL Well, you're free to believe whatever you like.
I can sympathize with a genuine desire for accountability in gov’t
And that's what you think the truthers are? Um, okay.
He's sure going to do a better job of it than Ronnie 'hide your head in the sand and pretend the world isn't there' Paul.
sure, I can see you’ve drank the the koolaid.
McCain for more of the same.
Who is blaming Jesse Benton? I’d like to know how you came up with that. You’re about the last person I’d look to for inside info on the Ron Paul campaign!
