    Google "Ron Paul civil liberties.". He talks about them and responsibilities.

    For one, he delivered thousands of babies and never took a dime of compensation from the govt. That is, he did it for free instead of taking Medicaid.

    That's SMART! Seriously, the sooner the damn party thing is abolished the better. It's nice knowing that a player like Ron Paul is not afraid to do what he thinks is best for his country. I wish more leaders were like that!

    Not at the moment, but what makes you think he won't do so after Romney gets the GOP nod?

    As definitively against it as he may have been a couple weeks ago, he's by no means consistent on that.

    He's looking for a seat at the table. To be able to influence the party platform.

    If he ran 3rd party, he'd assure Obama wins, and I seriously doubt he wants that. To boot, it'd really hurt his son's standing in the party, and Rand is the likely guy to pass the torch to.
