Ron Paul, the libertarian-leaning Texas lawmaker who attracted a devoted following in the GOP primaries, said Wednesday he rejected an appeal to endorse John McCain's presidential bid.

Ron Paul...Pinnochio’s brother.
If the quote is acurate then Gram made an advisement, rather than a request. Ron Paul’s wrong again. Another thread says Bob Barr asked RP to be his VP. They are made for each other. But I don’t think RP’s ego will have him team up with Barr. Just saying.
Ron Paul ran and lost. If he cannot deal with that then he needs to seek counseling.
Playing spoiler is a game for petulant children. Not those who would hope to lead.
Good,let the Loony endorsements stay on DNC isle.
go nuts II
