“I know not everybody here voted for my dad, but what I will say from a personal perspective is, don’t look at the Ron Paul people or the Rand Paul people as your enemy,” the Kentucky senator said at a small reception before a conservative Republican fundraiser in Waukee.
...
“They’re not people with two heads,” he said. “Some of them are new to the party, some of them have been in the party a long time. Some of them may have beaten some of your friends for a party position. You don’t like it. But we’re all in this together.”
He said his father has stayed in the race out of respect to his supporters, who are working their way into convention delegate and party leadership positions in Iowa and other states.
“They want to become influential in the Republican Party, and he didn’t want to discourage them by telling them otherwise,” he said.

Meaning Ron doesn't even want to be running now and is doing it not to win, or even to accomplish anything, but simply as a sign of respect for his fans...
He is defeated and he knows it...its like William Shatner at a convention looking sadly at these fanatics not able to move on, but respecting them enough not to tell them to get a life.
just what I picked up from that.
I would think he would have said "He is staying in the race because he feels the delegates will get this to convention where he will take it all" or something...not...well, if he dropped out, hundreds would kill themselves or whatever.

Ron Paul supporters...you are being played and the Paul's are selling you out.
You talk so much about politics but you don't seem to understand it, of course Ron's plan is too far out from what "they" want. In politics and business, you always start high so you have some room to give way, that is compensation.

It's not compensation, it's compromise...but yes...I seem to be the one to not understand it

I see you dodged the question...I'll ask it again.
If this is truly the path Ron and Rand are walking down...then it isn't far off for Ron Paul to ask his supporters to support Romney because he has agreed to work with Ron Paul to "advance liberty".
If and when he does that...do you fall into line and support Romney???

Because Rand seems to be suggesting that Ron Paul supporters just want to be part of the Republican party and other Republicans shouldn't be afraid of them...meaning he wants them to fall into line with the Party platform.
I know you guys think you are taking over...but it really sounds like the Paul's are moving towards supporting Romney. I saw a interview last week with Ron Paul on Fox News...they asked him if he will endorse Romney...Paul didn't say no.

They are slowly leaking this message...I'm just wondering how many Ron Paul supporters are going to continue to follow Ron Paul if he does in fact endorse Romney.
A lot of people are viewing the Ron Paul campaign and the liberty movement with such discontent and polarized perception with the apparent inability to determine where that is coming from. It should be self evident that a lot of the MSM opposition to Ron Paul is no more than propaganda
Why not work with Ron Paul instead of against him? This is how business gets done in America

Many Paul supporters believe there is this propaganda campaign going against Paul in the media over his policies but frankly I have not seen any misinformation in the mainstream media regarding Paul's policies. It comes down as to whether you are a Paul supporter or not, this is where you'll see things differently.
