Ron Paul not planning to campaign for McCain
April 28, 2008 Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul has not received much attention from the media since Senator John McCain became the presumptive nominee.
However, Paul is far from giving up on his campaign. He recently received 16% of the vote in the Pennsylvania GOP primary, and his followers brought a Nevada state convention to a standstill over the weekend. Paul appeared on CNN's American Morning on Monday to talk about the campaign and his new
book, "The Revolution: A Manifesto." He also suggested he "probably" won't be campaigning for John McCain. "We need to change," Paul told CNN's John Roberts. "The big question is, which way are we going? ... There's not much difference between the three [candidates]." "Do you have any interest in
campaigning for John McCain?" Roberts asked "Probably not," replied Paul. "Not unless he changes his tune — like bring the troops home." "How can you be a good Republican if you don't campaign for the Republican candidate?" Roberts wondered. "Maybe you're a good Republican if you stand up for
Republican principles," Paul asserted. Paul then outlined his radical free market solutions for the economy, saying "We need to immediately balance the budget, pay down some of the debt, let people go back to work." He told Roberts that he would rely solely on the market to control the prices of fo
od and fuel. "If you turn it over to the market, wouldn't they just drill every untapped resource for more oil?" Roberts asked. "Where would the incentive be for alternative fuels?" Paul insisted that "price" alone would be a sufficient mechanism. "The market is much smarter than anything the poli
ticians can do," he asserted. "The market'll sort it out and decide which is the most efficient energy source." ROBERTS: Any time you are ever asked whether or not you would launch an independent candidacy for the president, you said, without fail, I'm a Republican, I'm a member of the Republican p
arty. As a member of the Republican party, do you have any interest in campaigning for John McCain?PAUL: Probably not. Not unless he changes his tune. Like bring the troops home. He's the greatest proponent of the war. ROBERTS: How can you be a Republican if you don't campaign for the Republican ca
ndidate? Particularly when you have an amazing well of support out there? PAUL: Maybe you are a good Republican if you stand up for Republican principles. I would argue that leadership in the last few years has drifted from the Republican principles. More bureaucracy, more regulations, more entitle
ments, policing the world, but that is not what we stand for. I would say that our position is very much in tune with being a good Republican.

| Lmao. Let me be clear, I am not gay. I have never been gay. All kidding aside, Ron Paul is the best choice for president that this country has had in decades. One can only hope that all the GOP delegates lied when they said they would vote for George W. McCain. I heard somewhere that Minasota delagates are really for Ron but if even if that's true it's only one state (that I know of). He's got my vote even if I have to write his name on the ballot. |
