Ron Paul Says He Won’t Back McCain

(March 10, 2008)—Texas Congressman Ron Paul isn’t quite ready to drop out of the GOP White House sweepstakes, but he told CNN that when he does pull out, he won’t support the presumed nominee, Arizona Sen. John McCain.

"I'm not likely to support John McCain unless he changes his views,” Paul said.

“I mean he doesn't represent anything I've talked about for 30 years; nonintervention, foreign policy, personal liberties, civil liberties, free markets. No McCain Feingold. No child left behind. I mean, he doesn't stand for any of those things.”

A spokesman has said that Paul’s campaign can still influence debate and build an organization that brings the GOP "back to its roots."

First off Ron Paul is still in the race and after more of McCains flaws come to light people will not be able to back him because he is unelectable.Secondly; How could a true conservative like Ron Paul back insane McCain? He's proven time & time again that this man cannot stand office because he will represent his own intentions (look back at when he said in regards to the war 'I don't agree with 70% of the American people') Ron Paul will represent Americans and will not put his needs before the needs of the country. He is the only candidate that has firmly stood for what America has been screaming for the past 8 years, CHANGE. Yet now, when it comes time to actually change the GOP wants to but Bush incarnate (McCain) in position to lead the country?! Those that support Ron Paul need to sand together, and continue to get as many people as possible to vote for the Senator so that this country will survive.

I don't see how any true conservative could ever back that clown McCain. Ron Paul is the ONLY choice.

Ron Paul is the only one left with any sense. If everyone will read his stance on the issues, I think all will agree. He is our last hope. Four years from now may be too late for America.
