apparently thats NOT the case:

Ron Paul calls Secret Service protection a ‘form of welfare’
Republican presidential candidate and staunch libertarian Ron Paul says he has rejected protection from the Secret Service because he believes charging taxpayers for his personal security is a “form of welfare.â€
“You know, you’re having the taxpayers pay to take care of somebody,†Paul told late night talk show host Jay Leno on Tuesday. “And I’m an ordinary citizen and I would think I should pay for my own protection, and it costs, I think, more than $50,000 a day to protect those individuals.â€
“It’s a lot of money,†he added.
The twelve-term congressman, who has decided to not seek re-election, did appear to put some thought into what his codename would have been had he accepted federal protection.
“Bulldog,†he told Leno. “I’d go after the Fed, and all that big spending.â€
Paul also weighed in on rumors of an alliance between himself and GOP frontrunner Mitt Romney, saying their agreement “is very secret, because he and I don’t know a whole lot about it.â€

tough words from someone who is being paid by the taxpayers to campaign.
i wonder how many elected officials use vacation time to campaign while they are NOT performing their job.
hell i have to use vacation time for Union business when i go and talk to them.

I agree that expending resources protecting Ron Paul as a potential president would be wasteful.

No clue, not all the candidates have been decided yet. Only know who I am not voting for at this point.

I never understood why the majority of people do not care to be involved in primaries. I would think you would want more say in your votes. Instead of just waiting until the end.
