    When is this political dimwit going to concede that he has absolutely no chance of winning the Republican nomination let alone the White House. Paul is a political joke.

    The USVI isn't a state. It's a territory. And the inhabitants relate more towards W. Africa then they do towards the US. It's called "The American Paradise" but unless you're a tourist it's anyhting but a paradise. Just another Carribean sh*thole.

    Why do you want him to withdraw so badly?

    I don't know what this is supposed to mean.

    As far as I can tell, Ron Paul is just doing what dozens of politicians have done before, which is spreading a message and representing his constituency in a manner to their liking. I don't see the anti-Paul contingent placing nearly as much emphasis on Newt's having remained in the race, despite his zero percent chance of obtaining the nomination.

    So too bad if you don't like it. Ron Paul is going to continue spreading his message and use his delegates for political leverage at the convention if at all possible.

    I don't think he'll win, and have argued that point numerous times on this forum, but I like that he's spreading his message. It needs to be heard.

    all extremists are dangerous...even Libertarian extremists. trading ideology for practicality never works.

    Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice, and moderation in pursuit of justice is no virtue.

    And what's impractical about free market capitalism and Constitutionally limited government? I thought you Republicans liked that stuff.

    Paul has never been a factor in the race.

    Just because he lost doesn't make it not true.

    It's roughly 10% of Republican primary voters in every state. He's just getting the ideological ball rolling. The younger generations are embracing his message.

    I see. Losing is winning. Charlie Sheen would be so proud of Paul.

    He's just spreading his message. People can make their own decisions. There's really nothing more to it than that.

    Maybe Ron Paul should sell his soul out to corporate interests. Like Obama and Romney have with Goldman Sachs.

    Well, he better sell something. He's running out of cash. No more "money bombs" like 2008.

    People just aren't going to waste their money on a "never was" like Paul.
