Paul Basically Says Obama the Best of the Three Candidates

By Daniel Miessler on May 3rd, 2008: Tagged as America | Obama | Politics | Ron Paul

I knew it. So many Ron Paul supporters told me that nobody who likes Ron Paul would ever support Obama because he’s so opposite from Ron Paul. My argument was that while his views ARE opposite in many ways, he’s still MOST similar in foreign policy, and that foreign policy is worth backing Obama for.

Well, Ron Paul hasn’t endorsed Obama, but he’s done something pretty similar. He’s come out and said that he’s the candidate least likely to get us pulled into Iran, and I totally agree with him.

The one who would most likely to keep us from expanding the war [into Iran] is probably Obama. — Ron Paul

Yes, Ron Paul said that. [ Video Here : @2:50]

Ron Paul supporters: please stop playing the purity game. Ron Paul isn’t going to win, and your vote counts. Please vote for the person most likely to keep help fix our foreign policy, which will allow us to focus on our problems back home. Even if Obama goes about it incorrectly, at least we’ll be on the right path.

With Clinton or McCain we’re going to war with Iran. We have to do whatever we can to stop that — even if it means for voting for a liberal. I would not be suprised at all if Ron Paul himself asked us to endorse Obama once it gets down to either him or McCain.

As sad as it is we have a simple case of “greater good” here. I ask you to reconsider your position of not supporting anyone but Paul. There truly is a difference between the non-ideal options in this race.:

    And sad it is. I don’t understand how people in the U.S. can possibly think that the system there is democratic. Sad, sad, sad.

    Thanks for the laugh. Ron Paul doesn’t, and hasn’t mattered. I don’t see how his endorsement could be anything but another distraction for Obama if it got media attention. Does he need another racist in his court?

    You are “basically” an idiot and Obama is a joke. Same goes for the liar calling himself “Dale”.

    That’s some nice propaganda.

    Why not stick to the facts and state the Ron Paul says Obama is the least likely to advance the war. Big difference between that and saying he’s the best of the other three.

    It’s not a big difference when he commonly says the most important issue facing our country is our foreign policy.

    So he just said Obama is best on foreign policy and that’s his most important issue. See?

    Obama is a war-mongering socialist. He has threatened to invade Pakistan and has voted yes to supporting the war.

    He is a tax and spend liberal socialist who will hasten the bankruptcy of this country with his ill-conceived and unconstitutional spending.

    Ron Paul or death

    nothing else.
