Unlike Huckabee and Romney, Ron Paul, a Libertarian running on the GOP ticket, has not officially pulled out of the race. While Paul has not been active on the campaign trail for quite a while, Paul spokesman, Jesse Benton, says that Ron Paul "remains a candidate". The L.A. Times reported that Ron Paul is seeking a speaking opportunity at the GOP Convention “to stage an embarrassing public revolt” against McCain. Benton says that report is just "speculation". However, Benton did not flat out deny it either.
Benton said the Paul campaign is only seeking a “positive” effort to bring about reform to the Republican Party.
Ron Paul, in my humble opinion is a little wacky. Now, I am not a registered Republican nor am I a Democrat. I am a conservative independent. However, I normally lean GOP. To be honest, most Libertarians I meet are just left wing loons that have some conservative tendencies. Ron Paul wants to pull our troops out of the Iraq "immediately". I personally think that is dangerous. I have watched Paul during debates and he just seems disconnected from reality. I know that by saying these things it exposes me to Paulist flames... I don't care!
Why doesn't Paul just run on a Libertarian ticket. He says he wants to fix the Republican party. I don't get it. Does he have some kind of identity crisis going on? If he is a Libertarian, then he should run as a Libertarian. At least, Sen. Bob Barr has the nuggets to run as a Libertarian.
Paul... give it up and get a life!
