Ron Paul on Gary Johnson: He Certainly Has A Lot Of Libertarian Views

CHANTILLY, VA – Ron Paul doesn’t plan to endorse anyone for
president.

“I like people to make up their own minds,” said Paul in a very
short interview with Reason after speaking at the
Liberty Political Action Conference in Chantilly, Virginia.

When asked if he planned on voting for Republican presidential
nominee Mitt Romney he said he wasn’t sure who he plans to vote for
this fall. Paul struck a conciliatory tone when asked if
Libertarian Party nominee Gary Johnson was an acceptable choice for
his fans.

“Might be, I tell people to look at his record and he certainly
has a lot of libertarian views. They should make up their own
mind,” he said.

Paul is still unhappy with what happened at the Republican
National Convention but he wasn’t surprised

“Politcs as usual,” he said.

“I think that we weren’t treated fairly. The Republican Party
doesn’t look real good and they alienated a lot (of people) and
they were trying to win over some of our voters,” he said

Paul was disappointed that his delegates were “messed around
with” by the Republican establishment. “We should have had more
delegates,” he said.

Still, he sees a bright future for his libertarian movement.

“It was a lot better than the way I was treated four years ago,
so we’re making inroads. We did get some respect,” he laughed.
