Ron Paul refuses to endorse warmonger John McCain

February 11, 2008

Ron Paul told the Chicago Tribune Monday that unless John McCain "has a lot of change of heart" on his Iraq war stance, the Arizona senator will not get Paul's endorsement.

"I can not support anybody with the foreign policy he advocates - you know, perpetual war."

"I think it's un-American, unconstitutional, immoral, and not Republican," Paul said.

The comments come two days after the Texas congressman definitely ruled out running as a third party candidate, and said he was phasing back his presidential bid to focus on his home district and the re-election race he faces.

"If I were to lose the primary for my congressional seat, all our opponents would react with glee, and pretend it was a rejection of our ideas. I cannot and will not let that happen," Paul wrote on his Web site Saturday.

Paul also acknowledged he was cutting back his presidential campaign staff, but said he will not formally bow out of the race before the convention.

McCain, who sang "Bomb bomb Iran" is already looking towards the war after the war in Iraq.

McCain told a crowd of supporters January 20th, "It's a tough war we're in. It's not going to be over right away. There's going to be other wars." Offering more of his increasingly bleak "straight talk," he repeated the claim: "I'm sorry to tell you, there's going to be other wars. We will never surrender but there will be other wars."
