Ron Paul refuses to back McCain

[Light]

In a CNN interview Ron Paul said he would not back McCain. He was on with Ralph Nader. He said he would back a third party candidate.

Ron Paul backing Ralf Nader is odd dont you think?

Ron Paul is a true Liberatarian and Ralf Nader wants a 100% tax on every one for all $$ above something like $75K


seems RP and Bob Barr ought to gang up.

I'm sorry I didn't make it clear. Ron Paul isn't backing Ralph Nader. They were on at the same time is all.

My bet is Ron Paul and his group join up with Bob Barr. That would make a lot more sense than a Nader partnership.

ahh....

i think the third party representation is slim pickings.


if some group really were to be about real conservitive values and were to start at the local level, I would support them.


but instead of acutally building a real viable party, they just find someone to run for president and undo any real value they might have.

It's got to be from the bottom up.

LOL! I guess if you live long enough you will see everything!


I have been saying it for years. used to give old Chancellor fits about it on FCF.

But the bottom line is, for a third party to work, it will have to start in some cities, then some state houses then win some congressional distericts then some senate seats and a few Gov. offices...


THEN and only then should that party field a Presidential candidate. IF a group ever does this, and they have real conservitive views, I will be on board BIG TIME.

I don't have time to read all the comments, but Ron Paul is always for a third party. What is the big deal? Everyone knows that.
