RON PAUL.

NAMPA, Idaho (AP) — Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul remained defiant Tuesday evening in the face of no primary wins, rallying his fervent supporters to his pet causes of civil liberties and an overhaul of the country’s monetary system.

He gave no definitive statement of how long he’d continue his struggling campaign. But he told supporters here that his campaign has sent a clear warning 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 told supporters amid loud cheers. “It’s much easier to promote our cause through peaceful deeds than through war.”

Earlier Tuesday, Paul urged voters in Idaho to caucus for him on the promise of a smaller federal government, $1 trillion in federal spending cuts and an administration dedicated to liberty.

Paul said he chose to spend Super Tuesday in Idaho because it’s one of the states where poll numbers show his campaign is strongest.
