Gary Johnson: ‘I Will Continue The Ron Paul Revolution’
Gary Johnson: ‘I Will Continue The Ron Paul Revolution’
Now that Ron Paul has effectively suspended his campaign, libertarian third party candidate Gary Johnson is making a play for his suporters.
“You can’t suspend liberty,” Johnson said in a statement. “The Ron Paul revolution must continue, whether he is actively campaigning or not. His message must be a part of the conversation leading to November. Millions of Americans, particularly young Americans, are energized by Congressman Paul’s challenge to the status quo, and I am confident that energy will only build in the weeks and months ahead. And as much as the business-as-usual political elite would like to do so, you can’t put a lid on the enthusiasm and commitment Ron Paul and his supporters bring to the process. Whether it is at the Republican Convention or at the polls in November, the revolution Ron Paul has ignited will be seen and heard in the months ahead. I will continue the Ron Paul Revolution.”

Now back to my regularly scheduled programming. 
Proof is in the pudding, and Paul has proven to be long on words and short on action...
And even if he were still around, the drug war wouldn't get any media play; just the kookier, more extreme planks in his platform (i.e., 98% of everything else he believes)
