Well said. Paul is a narcissist who would put his own interests above the good of the nation. His followers (as they are often called) are just that- lemmings that will follow him over a cliff.

The dirty little secret down here in Texas is that Ron Paul keeps running for President because it's now a quadrennial family business. He collects campaign contributions from his Paulbot minions, and the rest of his family works at salaried positions on his campaigns, which are generally designed to go nowhere except to the bank with his supporters' money.
If he endorses the candidate who defeated him in the primaries, it undermines any potential claim he may have as a viable alternative in the next election cycle. And in four years, if his health is still good, Big Ron Paul will be back, fleecing his earnest yet gullible supporters for yet more campaign cash. And once again, his family members who aren't otherwise employed will have salaried positions once again.
Pretty shrewd racket, I'd say.
