Ron Paul scales back hopeless effort, refuses to back McCain


latimesblogs.latimes.com
He's not really quitting. He's not really suspending his campaign for the Republican presidential nomination. He's not promising victory, just to keep on keeping on. But, in effect, Rep. Ron Paul, at 72 the oldest candidate for president and the only GOP candidate to oppose the Iraq war, is facing reality.

This story is for those of you who think he dropped out.

He has another race to focus on. Simple as that. He needs to win his Texas bid before he can continue with his Presidential race.

Despite ridicule by other GOP candidates, despite getting significantly less time to speak during debates and, in one instance, even being barred from a GOP debate by Fox News although....

he'd collected more votes than those included, Paul repeated his vow not to attempt a third-party bid, which would drain priceless conservative votes from the party's nominee. "I am a Republican," he said, "and I remain a Republican." He did say he'd be reducing staff and offices.


America is looking for a change. McCain has proven that he is a huge douche and will continue the legacy of the Bush Empire.

The Clintons are Bush Ice and Obama is Bush Lite.

Who do you chose between?

Evil, really evil, really really freaking evil? Or a man who uses common sense and has voted repeatedly against war?

If you really care about this country and the world, make an intelligent decision in November.

Here is Paul's comments about McCain:

This morning Paul told one of our sister newspapers, "I cannot support anybody with the foreign policy he advocates, you know, perpetual war," said Paul. "That is just so disturbing to me."


Yeah no kidding. Its interesting how supposed CHRISTIANS who follow Christ's way of peace and love can support war at all.

Hypochristians more like it. I can't believe this country.

A "Christian" nation who goes to war. That makes a lot of sense.

How do you think I was warned in the first place, good behavior ?

This is my second attempt at having ATS Republican/Conservative people wake up to McCain's insistence on warfare and violence.

The Democrats are no better and as you can imagine I am not a fan of either party.

I'm a Libertarian at heart, and above that, I am a citizen of the Earth.

We all want freedom.

Let's actually do something about it now.
