Ron Paul for Obama?

Yeah, that's right, you heard it correctly - Ron Paul supports Obama. He fell short of endorsing him, but it's interesting to hear him say what I've long thought and argued - that, notwithstanding the massive policy differences between Obama and Paul, they are in fact closer than you would imagine if you just look at the traditional left/right divide. Obama is a former constitutional professor, and Paul is interested in defending the constitution from the BushCo crooks and others. Since McCain is advocating four more years of the same thing, with no accountability for the crimes and systematic deconstruction of the constitution over the last 7 years, why would Paul support McCain?

Anyways, whoever Paul officially endorses eventually (if anyone), it's interesting to see this, and confirms my Mom's argument that he is not, in fact, one of the criminals involved. For me, it increases my respect of the man, and confirms my argument (shouted loudly last night to a confused Republican) that if you love America, the Constitution, and the Republican party, you should be voting for Obama - if he restores the rule of law and the Constitution over the next 4 years, well good for him, and if he doesn't, then the revitalized and 'cleaned up' Republican party can take a crack at it in 2012!
