Is Ron Paul committed to the GOP?

Question

Do you think it's possible he could run next year (assuming he doesn't actually win the GOP nomination) as an independant or as the Libertarian party candidate again? Or has he decided the best way to promote his agenda is from within a big-tent GOP?

Answer 1

Ron Paul is committed to the USA. The GOP should get on the ball, too!

Answer 2

I don't think he is running as an independent and if he doesn't win the primary, I'd prefer that he not run. The Libertarian Party will provide a decent outlet.

I don't want the libertarian movement to get blamed for having cost the Republicans the election. That's a sure-fire way to turn them into long-term enemies instead of allies.

However, I hope the Republicans have enough sense to nominate Ron Paul, as he has been drawing in alot of members and he represents what the party supposedly stands for (Bush doubled the size of the Department of Education and instittued the biggest new welfare program in 40 years; Ron Paul is against those types of unconstitutional power grabs, as the Republicans are supposed to be).

Answer 3

Ron Paul is commited to the United States and he is commited to the Constitution. Unfortunately the GOP is not.
This is his best chance to get elected. To run for president as something outside the two main parties is just too expensive and the effort just to get on each state's ballot and to get into all of the debates takes so much out of the actual campaign.

Answer 4

Ron Paul is committed to Ron Paul. The GOP is the winning ticket that keeps him in power and his House campaign in the money.

He can run as an Independent or Libertarian. I am not going to stop him. . .

Answer 5

I just heard "conservative" Mark Levin rant and rave about how Libertarians are stupid and the Ron Paul supporters are a bunch of stupid geeks.
I hope Ron does run as a Libertarian, and he takes enough votes so Guliani the liberal loses to Hillary the liberal.
Let Ron seperate the patriots from the socialist/fascist conservatives who TALK about constitutionalism, but sell out to the liberals every time.

Answer 6

Certainly, it is possible he could run as an independent or Libertarian or Unity08. And if he does, I think he has a better chance than John Anderson or Ross Perot had.

Answer 7

Ron Paul is committed to the USA

Answer 8

To answer your question; Before the "Neo-Con" Republicans took over control of the Republican party, about 20 to 30 years ago,,,,,"Conservative Republican",Ron Paul would have easily received the Republican Presidential Nomination!

Since the Neo-Cons are not satisfied with simply gaining control of the Republican party, apparently they are determined to control each & every aspect of every Americans life.

This is VERY dangerous, in a FREE society, as it undermines personal FREEDOM!!!

Ron has stated many times he will not switch parties,,,,,He wants to WIN back the real conservative Republican party, and put America back on a Constitutional path!
Thank you.

Answer 9

He is old school conservative....he has said he wouldn't run an an independent but with all the cash he has he should.

I doubt he will have to though because he will win the GOP nomination.

Answer 10

Who cares? The point is he is committed to saving this country from the suicide it is committing. I don't give a damn what party he is, we need him in now. It might be too late by January 2009, when he will take office.
