First, he told Blitz that he can't endorse McCain.
Then, Blitz asked him which one he prefers, of the 2 Demos. RP said that he picks Obama because he's slightly better which is EXACTLY what I've been saying for quite a while.

www.connietalk.com/ron_paul_wolf_blitzer_050208.html Ron Paul On CNN's Situation Room With Wolf Blitzer CNN's Wolf Blitzer had Ron Paul in the Situation Room today via satellite to talk to him about Paul's new book, the Republican and Democratic Parties, why Paul is hasn't dropped out of the presidential race, and more. Blitzer said that Paul's Revolution: A Manifesto is already a huge best-seller. Paul mentioned the voting records of John McCain, Hillary Clinton, and Barack Obama; but when Wolf asked if Ron Paul had to pick one of those three candidates for President, he said "I would think the one who would most likely keep us from expanding the war is probably Obama." "A lot of your main ideas are certainly very popular with your base, and you've got thousands, millions of people out there who love your ideas," Blitzer said. “President Bush has talked about our staying in Iraq for 50 years,” “Maybe a hundred ... ... that’d be fine with me,” McCain responds Let's see the transcript but, based on my imperfect recollection, RP called Obama 'slightly better' than Hillary. Not 'less evil'. This is exactly my view. He's a minor positive which is A LOT, when compared to the past few presidents and the 2 monsters he needs to defeat to get the job.
Antiparty - find out why, think about 'how'
Dr. Paul said it is not an endorsement but that Obama is slightly better than Hillary. He also said that he will not be endorsing McCain.
“President Bush has talked about our staying in Iraq for 50 years,” “Maybe a hundred ... ... that’d be fine with me,” McCain responds You're over-dosing on goofy pills ... besides, he's senile.
"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. Already they have raised up a monied aristocracy that has set the government at defiance. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people to whom it properly belongs." "I sincerely believe that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies, and that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity, under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large scale." Thomas Jefferson
For those who insist that voting is some civic duty, how is Obama better than Barr or Baldwin?
Thanks for posting the videos. In Ron Paul's words, Obama would be 'slightly better' in foreign policy. His main concern: where would Obama spend the money he would save from stopping the wars. I have the same concern myself but... let's get the wars stopped first.
Antiparty - find out why, think about 'how'
Amen!
“President Bush has talked about our staying in Iraq for 50 years,” “Maybe a hundred ... ... that’d be fine with me,” McCain responds Are you calling RP senile? If you call RP senile, what would you call Bush? Or McCain?

He's a better ball handler.

I didn't say that Obama is better than Barr or Baldwin. In fact, I didn't even promise to vote for Obama in November. I definitely support Obama in the Obama vs. Hillary race. Hillary is very dangerous and she has to be eliminated. As far as the November contest... let's get rid of Hillary first, shall we?

Not me.

It's either that or this election campaign business has torched him ... Obama ain't said shit about shit ... so those falling all over themselves should admit that they like following for the sheer pleasure of following. I wouldn't call Bush or McCain.

No, it's funny as hell to watch you folks grovel for RP votes.
He's not Ron Paul. But Obama will get us out of Iraq, I believe. Plus he doesn't use the word "obliterate" when it comes to Iran.
“President Bush has talked about our staying in Iraq for 50 years,” “Maybe a hundred ... ... that’d be fine with me,” McCain responds Excellent! Because we all know where your vote absolutely would not go.

Obama ain't said shit about shit ... so those falling all over themselves should admit that they like following for the sheer pleasure of following. No one is following anyone. The problem we're facing now is not picking the proper 'leader' to 'follow' but to prevent those who would be digging us even deeper into the hole from being in the position of digging us even deeper into the hole. That's why Ron Paul is supporting Obama.

Better? I wish they could show me how he is even fit to tie Baldwin's shoes! And if Barr has gotten it through his head that the choices people make about what they inject and ingest into their own bodies is their own business--absent subsequently harming others and they can be punished for the actual harm they do, not what they "might do"--they can't show Obama is as good as him either.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. You're goofy ... he thought Blitzer said "OSAMA" !

Ron Paul is to Obama as Iraq is to 9/11. If you repeat it enough times, no matter how unrelated they are, in the same sentence then soon people will draw a connection between the two.

Howdy part'ner. Them thar's fightin' words in these parts.... Just thought ye oughtta know...
HA!!!! It will not work. But for all the bashing the stealth crew did to RP, to try and AGAIN browbeat them to Opharma will not work.
Do you mean like child support. That's nothing new. White people have been supporting blacks for 400 years. I hear Obama is half white. Is this an attack on Dr. Pauls integrity and marriage ? You scumbag !

"even Barack Obama has VOTED to support the war and the spending...you have to give McCain some credit...at least he's honest about it." RP
The hysteria here, and on other forums, over the possibility of Obama's election is stunning. The insincerity of the Obama protesters is palpable ... the hyper protest arises from one and only one reality ... and it ain't "elitism".

Your title is Bullshit. You say in your own post that he was asked who of the two democrats he preferred. He said Obama. That is a far cry from making the claim that Rep. Paul supports Obama for president as your title implies

I must agree. I never would have dreamed that this election season would brought this kind of divisiveness to 4um. Can't say I've avoided partaking it it either, albeit somewhat indirectly. The people to object to some preference to Obama over the other two also seem to claim that all 3 candidates are the same. That's not too bad but then they get rather hotheaded about it and some start flinging the "commie" and "white guilt" term around. I mean, if they really are all the same, what difference does it make? One of the 3 will win.
Real cowboys don't go shootin' innocent girls for the "greater good". ...one "sacrifice" you are already on record as being willing to make. That's ain't my definition of a 2nd Amendment.
He's referring to the vote to continue sending funds for equipment for the troops. What would a presidential candidate look like who does not support the troops once deployed overseas? Ron Paul's position on this probably cost him votes. Yes, we want out of Iraq. No we do not want our troops to be without what they need.
“President Bush has talked about our staying in Iraq for 50 years,” “Maybe a hundred ... ... that’d be fine with me,” McCain responds Obama/Paul '08
It is. Ron Paul just said Obama is "slightly better" than Hillary. Good, and that's a true statement. A McCain WH is likely to make me hysterical.
“President Bush has talked about our staying in Iraq for 50 years,” “Maybe a hundred ... ... that’d be fine with me,” McCain responds That is what I have been wondering. I think most of us who have made a couple of trips around the block know that the establishment is happy enough with any one of those three. Knowing that, why would anyone believe there is all that much difference in them (other than the obvious racial and gender differences)?
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. I hear SouthPark need a new Kenny......;)
On this we agree !

No, it wasn't an endorsement; Paul adds he's shaky about Obama's voting record and where Obama might spend the money instead. And when asked why he hasn't dropped out of the race, Paul responds, "The race is still on."
For the third day in a row, The Revolution: A Manifesto is currently number one on Amazon.com's Top 100.
So it boils down to: how did the mainstream media get away with Paul's shortened speaking times at the debates and lack of coverage in the press?? Maybe it's in the book...we're still eagerly awaiting the arrival of ours!
