I often find articles where the writer seems mystified that Ron Paul isn’t being the good soldier and falling in line with the nominee, as if he is just being childish or churlish.
To support John McCain, Ron Paul would have to denounce everything he believes in — not just one or two pet points, but his entire political philosophy. Now, I suppose politicians do that all the time, because many of them don’t really believe in anything, so it is understandable that seems unusual.
But Ron Paul is about principle. It is rare and it is wonderful.
