Why did Ron Paul quit?
Hi all. I apologize in advance if this topic has been done before/been answered before however I haven't frequented the politics forum in quite a while.
Can someone tell me why Ron Paul pulled out of the race?

Re: Why did Ron Paul quit?
Although he has dropped out of the race, he hasn't really quit. He just held a counter convention to the GOP convention. I have watch the GOP convention so far. Comparing it to the Democratic convention makes it look pretty depressing. During the primaries, one of the main things the GOP candidates said they wanted to run on was optimism. I didn't see a lot of that at the GOP convention. But from what I've seen in pictures, it seems like Paul's counter convention was much like the Democratic convention. Just not as many people.

Re: Why did Ron Paul quit?
Ron Paul didn't quit. I'm sure he considered his campaign quite the success. He got more recognition than a true right-wing libertarian has gotten in quite some time just because he threw his hat into the ring in one of the major parties. I'm sure he plans to come away from this election with a new base that, he probably believes, will allow him to begin building a true coalition for that part of the political spectrum that doesn't get a lot of play in this country.

Re: Why did Ron Paul quit?
Kinda like Obi-Wan.
His campaign dies.
But his voice and beliefs come back stronger then anyone imagined.

Why do you put Israel words in your siggy, in other words, why do you identify with a foreign culture/country, when you are an American?

He is Jewish...
This does suggest an unwillingness to intergrate into a culture fully, which has been brought up every since Jews lived amongst other cultures.
This phenomenon was coined "the Jewish question" and one very demented person had a "final solution" to this question.
If you study Judaism for a length of time, you find out exactly what kind of racism and elitism that religion fosters.
Before anyone accuses me of being an anti-semite, nazi sympathizer or anything else, I am not. Just pointing out the facts of yet another bullshit religion.

geee you're smart
Where'd you study this at because if I remember right the holocaust was meant to take out the Jewish race(and many others) because the Germans were scared there culture would be taken over.
