Ron Paul Refuses To Endorse Romney
(KTVZ.com) “No. Not ready. No way,” Paul said on CNN’s “The Situation Room with
Wolf Blitzer” when asked if he was ready to endorse Romney. In May, the
congressman decided to end his active campaigning for president, though he still
technically remains a presidential candidate.
| His son, Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, caused a stir last week among some of his father’s diehard supporters when he announced he was backing the presumptive GOP presidential nominee–a candidate whose more moderate Republican platform contrasts with several of the libertarian ideas championed by Sen. Paul and his father. |

While Rep. Paul acknowledged on Tuesday that Romney would become the nominee, he
argued the candidate “doesn’t have control of the hearts and minds of the
people” and gave no hint that he would stand behind Romney at the Republican
National Convention in August. “What’s he going to achieve? I think it’s legitimate for us to continue the debate. I know they don’t want the debate at the convention; everything has to be smooth and proper,” Paul said. |
