Ron Paul on CNN Andeerson Cooper 360

Clark, Ron Paul introduced legislation for ballot access reform, but of course it was not in the interest of the ruling parties. Both Republicans and Democrats are automatically put on the ballot, whereas any other candidates have to go through state specific procedures to get one the ballot. Does this sound like a democratic process? I don't think so.

Ron Paul is a pragmatist. To do any good at all, he needs to be in office, and to be in office he needs to be a Republican or a Democrat. Why he chose Republican? Well maybe just because that is his best chance of getting elected within his district. He certainly shows no favoritism in who he calls out, be they Republican or Democrat. The Republicans blocked him through unethical means from the Presidential nomination. He may be marginally accepted by more Republicans than Democrats, I don't know.

He deals with issues, not party politics. Campaign for Liberty has chosen to attempt to reform the Republican party rather than forming an new party. But this is understandable given the ballot access laws.

@Clark, I have often been asked why did I a Democrat vote for R.P. and especially over B.H.O....I voted for the person R.P. and how he stood up when not politician in any party stood up against the sending jobs out of the country and borrowing money from China to fianance a war against Iraq especially for political brainwashings against a country having nuclear weapons, amonge other things our government was doing taht we are only now finding out about...

I VOTED FOR THE CHARACTER OF R.P. NOT HIS POLITICAL PARTY LABEL..
