“No essential difference.” Is he referring to the fact that both are against legalizing drugs—although for different reasons?
Maybe Ron Paul feels like the Freeper who posted this:
Who cares who wins. There is no alternative to corrupt governmant just a variation... The house and even Rayn just voted to give Obama every dime he wanted. Obama hasnt been the irresponsible one the republicans in the house are by feeding his communist plans with every stinking dime he wanted. They are culpable and cannot be trusted with our liberty anymore than the left.
I am convinced evil is evil and I will not support evil whether its an R or a D.
I'm out of this round. The country is dead either way.
There are plenty of similarities between Mitt Romney and President Obama. During Romney's term as governor in Massachusetts he did just what President Obama did - force everyone to buy health insurance. The Romney health reforms caused havoc for independent contractors and small businesses in MA. Now he says he's against Obamacare, lets hope he's telling the truth now.
However, as liberal as Romney is, he's less bad than Obama, and sitting out the election is of course a bad idea. One don't have to be "for" Romney, just against Obama.
There is no need for Ron Paul to endorse anybody, since for most voters hearing that Ron Paul endorses a candidate doesn't help the candidate. But we all know what Ron Paul thinks of the current administration's policies, and that may steer some of his supporters away from the Democrats.
