Ron Paul not planning to campaign for McCain
Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul has not received much attention from the media since Senator John McCain became the presumptive nominee.

However, Paul is far from giving up on his campaign. He recently received 16% of the vote in the Pennsylvania GOP primary, and his followers brought a Nevada state convention to a standstill over the weekend.

Paul appeared on CNN’s American Morning on Monday to talk about the campaign and his new book, “The Revolution: A Manifesto.” He also suggested he “probably” won’t be campaigning for John McCain.

“How can you be a good Republican if you don’t campaign for the Republican candidate?” Roberts wondered.

“Maybe you’re a good Republican if you stand up for Republican principles,” Paul asserted.

2. And he is sitting on $4million of campaign funds.
The republicans may have a real mess on their hands.

4. Personally I don't want anything to do with that xenophobic nutjob, but...
The GOP base is full of xenophobic nutjobs.

6. I especially appreciate his idea of moving all the Paultards into their own gated Paultopia.

9. No, he really doesn't have any good ideas...
All of his ideas revolve around returning to the Gilded Age, and let me tell you that era was a wonderful for workers' rights. When he says that he's against outsourcing what he means is that he's outraged that white peoples' jobs are going to brown people.

Ron Paul is a modern day Charles Coughlin and if this were the 30's he'd be preaching about how wonderful Hitler and the Nazis are. There's a huge difference between left wing populism in the mold of Dennis Kucinich and right wing populism in the mold of Ron Paul. Right wing populists are nearly as bad as the neocons.

10. If he runs with Bob Barr, it's all over for the Republicans
A Paul/Barr or Barr/Paul ticket guarantees us the White House, no matter what Ralph Nader does this time.
