Ron Paul runs for President for one single purpose... fundraising. His anti-government rhetoric appeals to a lot of people. Every time he runs, the party fucks him over... but he will never run as an independent and he has been clear on hundreds of occasions that he is a Republican. He is not a Libertarian and never has been... he is a John Birch Society/Ayn Rand variety Republican pure and simple. He just isn't the typical Corporate Republican (Romney) or Evangelical Fundamentalist (Perry, Santorum and Bachmann) or a Paranoid Delusional Republican like Gingrich. He also isn't a pandering bitch like Herman Cain who takes every side of every issue.
Ron Paul couldn't win the Presidency... his positions on the Voting Rights Act of 1964 and 'states rights' is a giant red flashing light for anyone who knows anything about desegregation... and the majority of Americans are not neo-liberals.
