Just read about it there is a video too but no cut/paste
this is the run down ive heard he said
Has rejected calls to endorse John McCain. A third-party candidate could play the role of spoiler.
At a news conference Wednesday with three third-party candidates, Paul said he had been urged by former Texas Sen. Phil Gramm to back Arizona Sen. John McCain. "Absolutely no," Paul said he told Gramm.


"It might diminish my credibility," said Paul, who was a distant also-ran in the GOP primaries and caucuses but inspired intense enthusiasm among his supporters and amassed a campaign war chest of almost $35 million, raised mostly via the Internet. "I don't like the idea of getting 2 or 3 million people angry at me."

It was a setback for McCain, who has been trying to unify the GOP with the selection of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, a darling of his party's conservative wing, as his running mate. But some analysts say there is little opening for any of the third-party candidates Paul urged voters to consider -- independent candidate Ralph Nader, Green Party nominee Cynthia McKinney and Constitution Party candidate Chuck Baldwin, who all appeared with Paul. Former Georgia Rep. Bob Barr, the nominee of the Libertarian Party, skipped the event and held his own news conference later.
Third-party candidates tend to do best when there is significant dissatisfaction with the major-party nominees -- as was the case in 1992, when H. Ross Perot drew enough GOP votes to undercut George H.W. Bush, and in 2000, when Nader drew crucial votes from the Democratic candidate, Al Gore.
So he backs a Green Party nominee a independent &Constitution Party candidate,all of which will have no chance ,Rons backing wont mean much .except that McCains team will be disappointed,from the lack of support.

Yes ... but he has dual citzenship so he can goof up twice....



Yeah, but would it surprise you to know that I am pro-Liberal or NDP for Canada 8O

The United States is a beacon of strength to the world, to put some putz in power that wants to weaken the USA in a time when were are fighting a retarded ideology, Islam. NOBAMA

Now Canada on the other hand, Liberals will pretty much keep the Conservative status quo, NAFTA, pro-big business.. Canadian Liberals and Conservatives are both corporate *****s...

Here for Canada, vot swap.

Obama or McCain as the US President? Which one of the two of them (from a purely selfish Canadian
standpoint) would be best for Canada if they ended up as the US President???

Doesn't matter who gets in. They both work for unknown agendas. Can't be trusted.

Obama is a protectionist, which means NAFTA will come to an end. He wants GM to close the Canadian plants and bring them back into the United States for Michigan and Ohio Union workers.

The Alberta "Dirty Oil" he has no interest in..

Obama get elected, kiss Canada's economy good bye.


Not to mention, he wants to reduce the U.S. military strength, which means Canada becomes more vulnerable as a nation on the world stage.

McCain is pro-military, pro-NAFTA.

Best for Canada... McCain/Palin 08

I really don't think anyone would outright scrap NAFTA (especially the Americans) as
if they did, the first thing to hit the table would be oil (dirty or not), and that "dirty" oil goes
(from what I understand) into the same pipe as the rest of the oil heading south. The "dirty"
oil talk is just like the "scrap NAFTA" talk. It's vote buying verbal noise (much like the vote
buying noise of Equalization in Canada). The economies of Canada and the USA are so
closely tied and interwoven now that scrapping NAFTA would be too ugly for either country.

You're wrong...

Obama, Jack Layton and Lou Dobbs (CNN talk show host) are all protectionist that want to see NAFTA go bye bye.

His own words; "Barack Obama, has proposed tax breaks for US corporations that invest at home rather than abroad."

He has clearly stated he wants GM to pull out of Canada and put the plants in Ohio and other U.S. border states.

Absolutely!!! Obama may actually be the best for America,,,but for Canada it's McCain all the way!! Canadians never seem to understand that it's the republican party that welcomes free markets welcomes Canada to bid on work and expects american companies to "just compete" while the democrats are a labour party, protect jobs for outside forces...meaning Canada stay away...

read this somewhere....

Obama is for change....he asks the rhetorical question "Am I my brother's keeper?"

Meanwhile, his brother lives on $12 a year in a garbage dump in Kenya.......

I guess the answer isn't so rhetorical......

His brother is also 'now' going to college, where do you think that money came from,
I'm sure he wasn't given it by the country he lives in, or by his parents, dad dead, mom
somewhere else, I'm sure he didn't win the lottery. I know where it came from, and
I'm sure you do too, it's just common sense.

I definitely believe Obama would be a way better president then McCain. Just like anyone would be better then Harper.
