Liberty is not being forced by your government to pay taxes that go to cover someone else's medical expense. Maybe you should familiarize yourself with the term again mr hater.

Ron Paul invited himself to the party. Now he is not going to be the Republican nominee,,, though some supporters still believe he will be,,,,, he now abandons the party and refuses to stay on-board. Benedict Arnold would be proud.
actually respect him and agree with quite a bit of what he says , but he is narrowing the gap and increasing the possibility Obama may be able to pull off a second term.
he has not been invited to speak because he would not stay on point, speak to a united front with the sole purpose of replacing Barak Obama. Like it or not the platform has been established and in order to win it must be adhered to and supported by all. The time to debate the finer points will come after victory in Nov.
Like a child who did not get picked by the team he wanted to play on,,, he refuses to play at all. His position is juvenile at best. It is a disappointment he will not look to the greater good and support the candidate with the greatest chance of defeating the current President,, and will sulk on the sidelines refusing to give the aid he could provide to insure Barak Obama will not win a second term.
Mr.Paul you are 77 years old ,,, time to be an adult and man up. Do your part to help insure the continued survival of the country. Mitt Romney is the Man chosen to replace Obama and the only choice we have . It will be Obama or Romney there is no other outcome possible.
