Ron Paul: I don’t fully endorse Romney for president.

Y'know... I am not sure why someone who doesn't enthusiastically endorse the Party nominee would expect a speaking slot at any political convention, but Paul's expectation's aside this is pretty funny.


The libertarian Republican presidential candidate says he’s declined an opportunity to speak at the Republican National Convention in Tampa because Mitt Romney’s campaign imposed two conditions on any Paul speech — that it be reviewed by the nominee-to-be’s team and that it include an endorsement without hesitation or reservation.

“It wouldn’t be my speech,” the Texas congressman told the New York Times. “That would undo everything I’ve done in the last 30 years. I don’t fully endorse him for president.”
