'I'm trying to save the Republican party': Ron Paul vows to stay in the race as Romney gets two more endorsements

Presidential candidate Ron Paul says he's not only still in the race to clinch the Republican nomination but is fighting 'to save the Republican party.'

Appearing on CBS's Face the Nation Sunday, the lagging contender was critical of his party's beliefs after saying he's 'trying to save the Republican Party from themselves.'

'The truth is, I'm trying to save the Republican Party from themselves because they want perpetual wars, they don't care about presidents who assassinate American citizens, they don't care about searching our houses without search warrants, and these are the kind of things people care about,' Mr Paul told CBS' Bob Schieffer.

'It seems clear to me that there's no way that you're going to get the nomination now,' Mr Schieffer responded. 'Do you intend to continue hanging around?'

'Obviously yes,' Mr Paul responded adding 'the votes haven't been counted.'
