What Does Ron Paul Want?

• http://original.antiwar.com, by Justin Raimondo
 This is the question puzzling Paul’s friends, as well as his enemies. A recent announcement by the campaign that the anti-interventionist Congressman and presidential candidate is not spending money in the remaining primary states provoked a Drudge headline: "Paul Out." That is the GOP Establishment’s fondest wish, but the reality is that Paul is far from "out": his campaign is merely recalibrating its tactics, concentrating on getting delegates through the complicated and often arcane process of party caucuses and state conventions. In short, Paul is pursuing the very same strategy he’s been talking about since Day One of his remarkably successful campaign: harnessing the enthusiasm and discipline of his supporters to enter a basically hostile entity – the pro-war, pro-Big Government Republican party – and challenging the Powers That Be.

 Those "supporters" from the "lunatic fringe" and investors that make a profit out of Ron Paul's no-win-win candidacy, are ruthless.  Using Ron Paul to generate a campaign fund either through ads or donations that reportedly go to their pockets is un-Christian, to say the least.  They just don't want him to quit while the money is still coming in. They just whip their old tired mule to move on and on before the TV camera even though this heartless imposition could no longer be physically and spiritually endured.  When you look at Ron Paul's face, you can see how tired he is, and ready to quit anytime, but he is still there. This exploitation can only be seen in the movies, but not in our real world in Texas, and yet I can't believe it is happening right before my eyes!

That senseless fight to abolish the Federal Reserves and income tax among others during all his wasted life in Congress [those delusional dreams that will never come true even if the crow turns white, and those foolish camera-posturing that raked the nerves when one lies in public] had taken their tolls so badly that he now looks so old, very tired and worn out. Time to quit for good! Live what is left of life, and for once view the cascading mountain side, the green valley, the blue sky, the blooming flowers by the roadsides when you just drive to relax, watch what the birds and the bees are doing in springtime, etc. -- these are REAL, not political fantasies anymore poor Ron Paul had terribly missed in a lifetime.

Ok, everybody - IF you did NOTHING to support Ron Paul, in his Campaign for President, in 2012 - YOU MAY EFFECTIVELY THANK YOURSELVES FOR ANOTHER 4 YEARS!, OF THE INCREASINGLY CORRUPT STATUS QUO, AND ATTENDANT LOSS OF LIBERTY - NOT TO MENTION - FOUR MORE YEARS OF OBAMNEY! I've already donated $200.00 - $100.00 on President's Day - Feb. 20th, and $100.00, on Tax Day - April 15th - so, if you've done more than that, by volunteering, or donating FIAT CURRENCY - congratulations! IF you haven't - RE-READ THE ABOVE. I will be making another donation on May 17th - May20th, an early donation, that otherwise would have been made on JULY 4th, 2012.  I will likely make another donation on JULY 4th, 2012, anyway).

Ron Paul May 17th - May 20th MONEY BOMB! (Click below to contribute)

 It is not a guessing game as to what Ron Paul wants. A gynecologist and a veterinarian are the same when comes to delivering babies. In his retirement, Ron Paul may help deliver piglets as a hobby, not human babies anymore because he is no longer that young to do that ... his voice and his hands are no longer steady due to old age. Piggery is a lucrative business in the State of Texas!  I know because I am from that State.

To quit and retire for good. He is too old now for divisive and derisive politics he loves to play for money. He just wants his peace and quiet for a change while he sits on his rocking chair in the porch waching the sunset.
