I do not understand how people who supported a Libertarian Repbulican, that believes in small government, would support HUGH government candidates. I have read one too many discussion on this matter. Ron Paul supporter saying that they will vote for Obama or Clinton. How can people say that they will vote for someone that supports tax cuts, and then turn around and vote for someone that will raise taxes. Will anyone answer my question.

What on earth are you talking about?
Tell people to turn off their TVs. Ron Paul did NOT announce a pull-out. I won't believe that crap until he does. What he oughtta do is slap 'em with the RICO Act for trying to rig another election via the media.
If this is not their reason for flip-flopping, please elaborate, for I am confused.
...besides, I'm interested in hearing their answers for that big of a flip flop anyway. Don't they know Nader is also running? Even IF Dr. Paul bails, I don't think he will, Ralph Nader is way better than the likes of the so-called "front runners."

I don't think any true Ron Paul supporter would support Obama or Clinton. Although, voting for any of the 3 candidates would be voting for a liberal, a true Ron Paul supporter would know Paul can still run as an independent or be a write-in candidate.

Ron Paul turned in signatures to be on the Montana Primary Ballot. He is still in the race, so his supporters should vote for him. I can't speak on what others not posting on this topic are thinking, since I'm not sure why they made this statement.

I haven't seen anything backing up what you said, but I would assume that such people are part of the anti-Bush crowd. Some people act as though Bush is running for president again so they feel the need to vote democrat. They subscribe to the belief that all republicans are the same even though many republicans don't even consider John McCain to be a "real" republican.
I would guess that most Ron Paul supporters are a bit more educated than the average voter and would probably study the issues of the candidates if he dropped out and choose the one that worked best for them. The less educated supporters are likely to be the ones that just hate the two-party system and refuse to buy into it. Those people would just go to the next most popular third party candidate.

I'm guessing that for these people foreign policy, and the Iraq war in particular, is the main issue. And the Dems are more in line with Ron Paul. McCain seems to be the complete opposite of Ron Paul with regards foreign policy.
