I Hate Sore Losers

From Fox News: Rep. Ron Paul, with his trademark fervor, used a counter-convention rally in Tampa Sunday to take shots at a Republican establishment he claimed was "failing" the country. As the 77-year-old congressman prepares to retire after three presidential bids and decades in Congress, Paul told a rowdy crowd that the party would eventually drift into his "tent."
"We'll get into the tent, believe me, because we'll become the tent eventually," Paul said. "Once they know we are the future they will know about us." 
Paul, whose most recent presidential bid ended earlier this year, drew about 8,000 to a rally in Sun Dome stadium at the University of South Florida, separate from a weekend rally by Paul supporters at the Florida State Fairgrounds. Paul reportedly declined an invitation to attend that event.
The final stop on the Texas Republican's presidential tour was several miles away from the official Republican convention in Tampa, Fla. With the start of that convention effectively delayed by Tropical Storm Isaac, Paul's rally was just about the most lively political event in town Sunday -- as Paul and his supporters heaped scorn on the convention that was about to get underway.  
If Ron Paul doesn't like the Republican Party, why doesn't leave and start a third party.  If there is a person out there who can do it, Paul would be the one.  It may be a few years, but the party may end up being pretty big.
But Paul likes the GOP because he gets power and money from the GOP and that's it.  He gets campaign cash and gets to be on powerful congressional committees and that is really what Paul really wants..
