Ron Paul Supporters For John McCain? WTF!!
Found this on Wired
Texas congressman Ron Paul is still officially in the presidential race, despite Arizona Republican John McCain winning enough delegates to become the presumptive Republican presidential nominee.But with Paul’s long shot bid for the White House now a no-shot bid, a few of Paul’s supporters appear to have started a new web project called Join, or Die 08. They’re rallying behind McCain.
Given many of Paul supporters’ staunch and vocal opposition to the war in Iraq, and some supporters’ rocky relationship with much of the of the Republican party, this call for unity to support McCain is surprising.
The group’s site uses Benjamin Franklin’s famous cartoon to rally support around McCain, and has posted its first YouTube video:
I may not be the brightest bulb on the Jesus tree, but I do know that this is a bunch of bullshit. TRUE Ron Paul fans would never support John McCain. Unless they say to themselves fuck it, a closet liberal like John McCain is better than a communist big gubment freak like Obama.

I’ve read comments by the sheehag supporters stating they will vote for juan mcvain if numbnuts gets the nod. All three suck ass on border enforcement, the economy, the housing crisis, blah, blah, blah, but out of the three assclowns, only juan mcvain will not piss away the sacrifices of our Warriors in Iraq/Afghanistan and betray the locals. That is the ONLY reason I’m voting for the prick.

Yeah, dude, it’s a bunch of bullshit. I wouldn’t vote for McCain if he was the only clown in the race and have said so from the start.
That said, very few Paulistas would find Obama worse than McCain, if only from a tactical perspective. There are two facts to deal with (coincidentally the same two that most Republicans - and I include myself here, for I voted for the man - never saw with Bush: a) McCain is for all intents and purposes a Democrat; and b) The GOP in Congress will support their president over their principles.
What that means is that if McCain wins, there will not be a more conservative governance, rather there will be two Democrat parties outbidding one another for votes.
On the other hand, if Obama wins, the GOP will oppose him, reducing the number of Democrat parties by one. He may WANT to spend more, but he will have opposition that McCain will not have as Bush never had. There was a reason B.Clinton ran good budgets and it was not that he was a conservative, it was that he had conservative opposition. Obama will have such opposition, McCain will not.
So no Ron Paul supporter would support McCain; if they support any of the three (a doubtful proposition itself), it would most likely be Hillary, believe it or not.
As for me, I’ll probably write in Snoop.
