Ron Paul May Be Partisan, but He's not THAT Partisan! Other dearly-departed candidates have been quick to fall into lock-step and toe the Republican Party Line, but Ron Paul will never endorse John McCain. What, then, will happen when we finally get down to the endgame of this strangest-ever "election season?"by creator

Ron Paul is a principled man with strong and unswerving ideas based on years of study and observation. This is one of the reasons why so many of us have rallied to his call for Liberty, and we would wish him to be no other way. But, my, hasn't this been the strangest race ever for the Republican Presidential nomination? Pat Robertson endorsed Giuliani. Chuck Norris endorsed Huck. Daddy Bush endorsed McCain.
Sadly, through the combined effects of snide marginalizing by famous pundits, a mass media blackout, the cumulative effects of generations of brainwashing of the American public, and the entrenched political and economic "powers that be," the prospects of a Ron Paul Republican presidential nomination seem rather distant if not completely doomed.
Now, don't get me wrong: I'm still praying for a miracle! But what's a sincere patriot to do? This circumstance inevitably poses a real dilemma for both Dr. Paul and for his supporters. Stated quite simply, it is this: If Ron Paul himself is not the nominee, whom in the world might he even remotely possibly endorse?
What happens when an irresistible force meets an immovable object?
Can you imagine Dr. Paul endorsing John McCain? If McCain, the presumptive nominee, ultimately gets enough delegates to "hold their nose" and he actually receives the party nod at the convention, there is no way on God's green earth that I can picture Dr. No saying to his followers: "Vote for John McCain." No, there's just No Way!
This of course raises the question: As the figurehead and "spiritual founding father" of the newest American Revolution, what will Dr. Paul recommend his followers do, come such a dismal day?
Never having been one inclined to consciously and intentionally limit or overlook possibilities, options of various kinds come to mind. (Hey, while some are intended just to make you smile, I'm really serious about some of these! Can you figure out which ones?) Possibilities including (but are certainly not limited to) the following:
I don't know what Dr. Paul might actually finally suggest in this regard, but when it ultimately comes down to it, you can be sure of one thing: he'll have my full attention.

Add to that list: move to the Free State Project and/or start to make a difference locally instead of being too fixated on the top office where Ron Paul wasn't going anyways.
Vote LP, if he is not on the ticket anywhere. But he has to tell us! Can you imagine the $ and votes we can bring to the LP in the fall if we have that as a goal? The useful idiots in the press and both evil political parties will know that it is the Dr. Ron Paul vote and we are not to be ignored.
