Ron Paul Won't Endorse Romney, Sees "Essentially No Difference"

Ron Paul, the maverick Texas congressman who has twice run for the Republican presidential nomination, won't endorse the nominee of his party. Though Paul said last week it was "very unlikely" he would endorse former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, he made it definitive in an interview October 12 on the CNBC program Futures Now.

"No," he said, plainly and unequivocally, when asked about an endorsement. Neither the GOP challenger nor President Obama will change the course of fiscal and monetary policy that is leading to what has been called the "fiscal cliff," Paul said, because both are captive of special interests.

And neither will act to stop the Federal Reserve from papering over the growing chasm of debt by inflating the money supply in a policy called "quantitative easing."

Now each major party has its own crazy uncle in the attic.

The playing field is now evened, LOL.

I'm certainly no fan of Paul, but it should be pointed out that the Republican nominee thinks there is no connection between Islam and jihadism.

As official US policy, you have to make the distinction between the religion and the jihadists or you will unify all factions against you.

Think of it as keeping them divided.

Given this, at least Romney recognizes the danger of terrorism and will use the word while Ron Paul and President Obama do not.
