Washington A defiant Paul faces a winless day of primaries
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul remained defiant Tuesday night in the face of no primary wins, rallying his fervent supporters to his signature causes of civil liberties and an overhaul of the country's monetary system.
Paul gave no definitive statement of how long he'd continue his campaign. But he told supporters in Fargo, N.D., that his campaign has sent a clear message to voters that government grows endlessly, ignores personal privacy and spends too much money.
"If we set a standard of individual liberty, the rest of the world will notice," Paul said as he competed aggressively for caucus wins in three states. "It's much easier to promote our cause through peaceful deeds than through war."
The Texas congressman hoped for victory in at least one of the Super Tuesday caucus states: Idaho, Alaska and North Dakota.
"The difficulty and the real challenge is people don't want to cut any type of funding. This idea of the entitlement system -- anybody who wants something or needs something or demands something has a right to it -- that's not true," he said. "You don't have a right to other people's income. You have a right to keep your own."
