Texas Rep. Ron Paul slammed Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney on Sunday, saying they were inconsistent politicians who represent the status quo. They come from the same mold, he said on Meet the Press. Theyre about the same. Theyre both on the defensive, theyre both explaining themselves
Why should we have a nominee that is going to spend most of the their time explaining themselves and deciding what position they were on and when? (Watch video below.)
I think if you are consistent it speaks for itself, Paul said. You know nobody ever challenges me and I dont have to brag about it either because everybody knows exactly what Im going to do and exactly what Ive done for 30 years.
Paul called Gingrich working for Freddie Mac and being paid more than $1 million immoral, and he said Romney had a more diplomatic style than Gingrich.
Pressed by David Gregory on whether Paul would consider a third-party run if his bid to win the GOP nomination is unsuccessful, Paul declined to definitively say he would not pursue such a course.
I have no plans to do that, he said. Im not going to rule anything out or anything in.
