Ron Paul on Romney: ‘I don’t fully endorse him for president’

Guess who won't be speaking at the Republican Convention. That's right, Ron Paul. He is persona non grata because of his refusal to "fully endorse" Mitt Romney.

Proud of you, Dr. Paul!

He's the smart one. Romney is a sellout. Paul may be a loony but he's always stood for his beliefs.

The last couple of years I actually started to see what a chef I was working for in SoCal five years ago was so gung-ho about. This year he has definitely looked a lot more attractive as a candidate than the two mainstream idiots. I was also a little surprised when I scored 73% to Paul and Johnson on the who do you side with poll.

. . . Well, maybe a half-assed endorsement counts better than nothing!

Ron Paul may be a looney to some, but he did bring a lot of ideas and issues to the table.

That makes a lot of sense, but the extreme right of the party wrote the GOP platform and are pushing downballot candidates nationwide.

If Romney quits pandering to them (which has hasn't yet done), then he'll be buried alive.
The worst they'd do is stay at home, and I seriously doubt that as much as they hate Obama. He needs to play to the Independents, women and Hispanics. He can't win without at least two of those three demographics.

Sour grapes..............Ron Paul needs to check his ego at the door if he wants to be a Republican......I would have more respect (pride) for him if he just left the party...but Paul is about Paul and maintaining his seat.......he knows if he left, he would be out of a very cushy job.

When was the last time Paul actually worked in the private sector ?

1968 ? Hasn't he been sucking off the public teet long enough ?
