In short, because it's a "no lose" position for him.

I don’t care why he’s running. I just wish his supporters would stop spamming my Freepmail with his garbage!

Your entire post was just silly. Is Paul wrong on some things, yes, he is. Does that make a vote for him a vote for Al Qauda, uh...no. Paul is no racist, he isn’t against our troops, etc. etc.

It’s fine if you don’t approve of Paul, but it would be nice if you would keep your gripes about him within the realm of reality.

Maybe Paul wants to campaign against foreign aid because no one else will.

A vote for Ron Paul is a vote against our troops.

Really, you might want to tell that to his top contributors in his last campaign:

The top three contributors to Paul's (2008) presidential run were individuals employed by the U.S. Army, U.S. Navy and U.S. Air Force.

If he doesn’t run, he has a n=0% chance at the nomination. If he runs, he has a n>0% chance. That simple.

Your post is garbage, Ron Paul is my Congressman and he is none of those things. I know you support Sara and I like her too, but lying about Ron Paul only makes you look stupid.

LOL.

If there is a parallel, it's not Ross.

More like Ralph Nader.........cept ole RP won't even crack 1% if he runs in a third party.

Civility and actually thinking seem to be in short supply these days on FR, thank you for both.

If you hate this conservative site so much, why don’t you go stay at DU. You would be more at home there anyway.
