I was hoping Dr. Ron Paul would go Independent, but he wouldn't.
He thinks if he went Independent, nobody would have noticed him.
But his strategy has worked. Many of us got to know him in this election.
Dr. Paul: Can you now go Independent, please?

From : Wheres the March

[ June 12th, 2008 5:38 pm ET

What happened to the Revolution March on Washington…..was it not suppose to be today?? ]

Well, if you are looking for the March today, you will be waiting a whole month. The date for the march is July 12th, not June 12th.

And to the person who said that they do not like Ron Paul's facial expression. Stating that he looks "not wholesome" You my friend are ignorant. Ron Paul is the most wholesome, well informed, patriotic, upstanding presidential candidate there has been in some time. He speaks what he believes, he votes how he believes and he does not waffle on what he says or does. I don't think you have a very good sense of perception on people's personality if you think he is unwholesome and yet believe that Obama or McCain are more wholesome.

So finally the mainstream media actually pays some attention to the best candidate of the primaries.

Too bad they wait until after everything is all but over, but I am sure that was the point

I've been a Republican my whole life as well as being a 31-year veteran defending this country. As closely as I have followed the candidates I cant find a good reason to support McCain. I despised Hillary and her efforts to turn this into a Socialist nation. After reading his book, I have even fewer reasons to support Obama. Now I'm hoping for a ringer independent because neither of the candidates have what it takes to lead this country where it needs to go.

No Hillary.
No Obama.
No McCain.

Ron Paul would have my support if he had stayed.

Now it looks like I will be voting "NONE OF THE ABOVE".

I am so sad to see the various CNN lookers' wrong perceptions. Remember, the ONLY candidate for president over the past year who voted against the war on PRINCIPLE was Paul. Maybe you anti-war guys should realized Obama is no different than Clinton or Bush.

Kudos to Ron Paul for being so energetic and determined. I think he's nuts, yeah, but he's got the kind of spunk that the process needs more of.

Now back to our regularly scheduled program-Obama '08.

Its amazing some of the ignorant statements that get spouted in these forums.

Ron Paul knows the Constitution and abides by it better than any other Republican out there. You don't have to agree with all his platform (I didn't) but the man had some very wise things to say – and regardless of your affiliation, we should all take heed at the directions our government is taking us.

Or is it [Constitution] just a "piece of paper" to some of you?

I am very disappointed to see him dropping out. I will still write him in on election day, however. I joined his Campaign for Liberty. It HAS to work. HAS to. Or we will be in a socialist dictatorship like in Orwell's 1984 by 2030.

No more NeoCons – more constitutionalists.

All you posters that throw your one liners in there regarding Ron Paul are completely ignorant. Apparently you are young and new to the politic's game. I'm betting most of you are Obama supporters. You can tell the differences in the posts. The one's that have respect and would support Ron Paul speak with intelligence and the one's that throw there one liners in about him are rude, unintelligent and know nothing about the policies that Ron Paul supports. He is highly respected memeber of Congress. He works every single day for the good fo this country and the peoople of this country. I guess our constitution means absolutely nothing to this young generation. it's all about having a large goverment so they can get free hand outs and accept no personal responsibliity. If half the people in this country actually read our constitution they would realize that Ron Paul is right. He is not a loon or nor is crazy. He is more in-line with our founding fathers then anyone I have seen in Washington for years. It's to bad he dropped his bid, because I would of voted for him, because I care about our constitution and what it stands for. I care that there is someone in Washington that stands for what is right and will not back down and flip flop on the issue's just to get elected. Which , by the way is what the glorious Obama is doing and McCain. These are the two worst presidential canidates ever. One has absolutely no experience to speak of. Talks pretty but has no real plan for anything. But, hey he's the captain of the football team, so since I wasn't popular in school I'll get with the popular crowd now. McCain is old school politic's and everyone knows it. Look into his background and you will find this is not who you want to be president of the USA. We had some really good canidates and now there gone, because of people with narrow minds that made this election a farse. That also includes you CNN. God help us when one of these two incompetant candidates becomes the President.

That guy is something ! I am supporting Obama but I have respect for Ron Paul and his views. Although he would not be the 'right' president, an influence of his views would be healthy. He is honest and genuine like Obama, that counts for a lot ! Obama, in my opinion, stands on the right side of the issues though most of the time.

By: Matt

Matt — Fri, 13 Jun 2008 00:16:13 +0000

It is about time he did that. But why did he wait so long. I do not think he should endorse McCain as well, they probably have different views in too many ways. I only liked Paul cause he was against the war.

I'm a democrat who is Obama all the way but....

IF i had to choose a Republican candidate, it would easily be Ron Paul.
-Firstly, he's against the war.
-And then there's his sense of fiscal responsibility.

His economic policies, whilst different to Obama's, would still balance the budget, much unlike John McCain. McCain=increased debt.

So, Ron Paul finally figured out he didn't have a chance of winning in November, did he? I could have told him that long ago. It's a pity that so many disillusioned fans sent him so much money. I guess he gets to keep all those millions, people sent him? I wonder if all the suckers who sent Ron Paul money, heard a flushing sound as their money went down the toilet.

The one candidate who had the full backing of 9/11 Truthers, and other Conspiracy Theory wackos. The attraction of that crowd was a death sentence for Ron's campaign.

I actually wanted Ron Paul as theGOP nominee because he, like Hillary Clinton are both pretty moderate.

Anyone forgetting Ron Paul running as a LIBERTARIAN in 1988... I can't really forget it seeing as how I was only 3 months old during the election of 1988

Bitter sweet. I have never been interested in politics until I heard about Ron Paul and his message. He's taught me more than anyone else about our Constitution and the ideals of our Founding Fathers. I feel grateful to have been around to see a man like him run for president. I hope it's not too long before someone else like him runs again. But men like him don't come along very often. That being said, I look forward to the future and to seeing what can be done with the Campaign for Liberty. Best of Luck Ron and good luck America.

Unlike the Democratic Party, GOP and McCain honored Ron Paul by not forcing him to quit from the race and continue on what he is fighting for.

DNC and Obama Campaign shamelessly forced a woman, Hillary Clinton to get out of their way just for the sake of winning, indicating how HUNGRY the Democrats are for power.

In that sense, GOP got a another MAJOR BLOW to the Democrats.
