Anybody who believes that is simply fooling themselves.
Ron Paul was in this for Ron Paul. He enjoys the attention and loves spending other peoples money to get the attention.
What's sad is, he will always have a cadre of sycophants who will fund his ego trips.
Yeah, cause he loves the slander and lies directed not only at him but his family as well.
Ron Paul was "in this" because he fears for a dying America. Doesn't matter whether one personally likes him or not, he has a message that all Americans need to hear. Guess what? The slander and lying originated from the right, not the left. The Guiliani wing of the party dares not attack the message, so they attack the messenger. The messenger is Ron Paul.
This is the Republican party, and it needs shoveling. You don't need my vote? You won't get it. Enjoy your next POTUS.
