One need not agree with Congressman Ron Paul on every point to recognize his remarkable commitment to principle which distinguished him from each of the other Republican presidential candidates in the primary election. Once again, Congressman Paul has played the part of a man who places principle above politics and policy over partisanship, through his rejection of liberal Republican presidential candidate John McCain, in favor of Constitution Party candidate, Chuck Baldwin, for President of the United States of America. The following was placed by Congressman Paul’s Campaign for Liberty website:
“The press conference at the National Press Club had a precise purpose. It was to expose, to as many people as possible, the gross deception of our presidential election process. It is controlled by the powerful elite to make sure that neither candidate of the two major parties will challenge the status quo. There is no real choice between the two major parties and their nominees, only the rhetoric varies. The amazingly long campaign is designed to make sure the real issues are ignored....I remain a lifetime member of the Libertarian Party and I’m a ten-term Republican Congressman. It is not against the law to participate in more then one political party. Chuck Baldwin has been a friend and was an active supporter in the presidential campaign. I continue to wish the Libertarian and Constitution Parties well. The more votes they get, the better. I have attended Libertarian Party conventions frequently over the years....I’ve thought about the unsolicited advice from the Libertarian Party candidate, and he has convinced me to reject my neutral stance in the November election. I’m supporting Chuck Baldwin, the Constitution Party candidate.”
