Just when you thought you were all done pointing out to the rabid Ron Paul supporters that Ron Paul really doesn't possess any magic powers and that in fact, he never authored or co-authored a single piece of legislation that ever passed in his ENTIRE political career...voila..like a bad dream....he's baaaaack!


SOURCE: PAUL 'REPUBLICAN NO MORE,' NOT RULING OUT THIRD-PARTY RUN

Upset by how the Republican Party establishment “disrespected” them during the Republican National Convention, over 300 Ron Paul supporters joined a conference call on Sunday night to discuss plans to urge Paul to run as a third-party candidate on the Libertarian Party ticket.
Speculation about Paul’s intentions will intensify even more because Paul will appear on NBC’s “The Tonight Show” with Jay Leno on Tuesday night to make an announcement, presumably about whether he will make a third-party run or support Libertarian Party candidate Gary Johnson.
Evan Cutler of Alaskans for Ron Paul told those on the conference call that he spoke at length with Paul and his wife last Friday. Cutler said Paul told him he has not completely ruled out a third-party run. Cutler said Paul did express concerns about ballot access and the money that would be required for such a run.
According to Cutler, Paul was “no longer a Republican as of Friday,” and for Paul to get his name on the ballot in all 50 states, Paul would have to be on the Libertarian Party ticket.
For that to happen, the Libertarian vice presidential candidate Jim Gray would have to drop out, and the Libertarian Party would have to put Paul on the ticket with Johnson, either as the presidential or vice presidential candidate.
Cutler urged those on the call to write, call, and e-mail Paul’s offices urging him to run.
“Nothing will happen if we don’t try,” Cutler said.
If Paul decides to run as a third-party candidate or throw his support behind Johnson, he could siphon enough support from Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney to threaten the former governor's chances in the fall.

Ron Paul on Jay Leno, Rules Out Third Party Run as Liberty Movement Hits The Tonight Show

Thank you, Ron Paul for FINALLY offering some closure to this issue. Long overdue... but thank you nonetheless.

On Tuesday, Ron Paul appeared on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno and ruled out an independent run for the presidency, squashing internet rumors that he was gearing up to make waves in November. It was his third appearance on the Tonight Show dating back to last December, when then-candidate Paul spoke with Leno about his presidential campaign at a time when the Republican race was very much up for grabs. Paul's appearance came on the heels of the revelation that he will not endorse Libertarian Party nominee Gary Johnson for president. Johnson, the former two-term governor of New Mexico who originally ran for the Republican nomination this year, is ideologically the most compatible candidate with Paul in this year's presidential field.

Paul has also said that he does not "fully endorse" Mitt Romney for president, a candidate with whom he often vehemently disagreed during the GOP debates, particularly on the issue of foreign policy. Paul, however, did not endorse any candidate during his interview with Leno, and it is unlikely that he will do so at all.
