Ron Paul Endorsed Constitution Party Candidate - Chuck Baldwin
Here is an endorsement of the greater kind. From one Constitutional candidate with principles to another. Ron Paul deciding not to run for President on a third party ticket and not desiring to endorse his own party's left leaning neocon John McCain has endorsed the Constitution Party's Candidate Chuck Baldwin.
I could see nothing else Ron Paul could do after turning down John McCain's pursuit of Paul's endorsement. Sighting many differing principles Ron Paul refused to endorse John McCain. Ron Paul could not degrade his many years of speaking, voting and hard fought reputation of governing by Constitutional standards. Endorsing anyone other than Chuck Baldwin would be a termination of all integrity assigned to this great Congressman.
It will be interesting and is my guess that there will be Republican lefties (RINO's i.e. Republican in name only) seeking Ron Paul's resignation from Congress as a "Republican". Paul will probably argue the point that those who do so should be the ones to leave for they are RINO's and neocons who have abandoned the "conservative" (what ever that means these days) principles of the Republican party of old.
Have a blessed day.

Constitution Party’s Chuck Baldwin Set To Dent ‘Big Box’ CandidatesGrand Rapids, MI (September 22, 2008)- Former GOP presidential candidate, Texas Congressman Ron Paul announced today he is endorsing Constitution Party presidential candidate Chuck Baldwin. ( http://www.campaignforliberty.com/blog/?p=582#more-582 )
In a letter to supporters, Paul wrote, “I’m supporting Chuck Baldwin, the Constitution Party candidate.”
Paul went on to say, “There is no real choice between the two major parties and their nominees, only the rhetoric varies. The amazingly long campaign is designed to make sure the real issues are ignored.”
Baldwin, a conservative commentator, columnist and pastor of a church in Pensacola, FL, campaigned for Ron Paul during the congressman’s run for president. After receiving Paul’s endorsement, Baldwin said, “I am humbled and deeply grateful to Dr. Paul for his support. There could not be higher praise. I am committed to carrying on the Ron Paul Revolution for a return to constitutionally limited government.
The Constitution Party, http://www.constitutionparty.com/ , is poised to offer voters a viable alternative to the two parties now controlling our government.
Baldwin noted, “Ron Paul’s message resonated with people across the political spectrum. Likewise, our campaign embraces Americans of diverse political ideologies, spiritual paths and socio-economic groups - all who recognize the urgency of a return to the Constitution and the principles of personal liberty that document defines.”
Baldwin, appearing recently on CNN’s Lou Dobb’s Tonight program, was told by Dobbs: (Baldwin’s view on immigration reform issues) was “a good reason to vote for you, I like that reason." (Click here for a transcript, and HERE for a YouTube clip of the show.)
Baldwin appeared at a recent Washington DC press conference with Congressman Ron Paul. Paul spoke about the need to bypass the two major party candidates this November and instead vote for a candidate such as Chuck Baldwin. (See YouTube clip HERE.)
Like Paul, Baldwin has taken a stand against unconstitutional foreign intervention, such as the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Both Baldwin and Paul have called for abolishing the IRS and the Federal Reserve, have spoken out against the recent financial “bailouts” and against unauthorized trade “agreements” such as NAFTA and GATT.
Chuck Baldwin supports Congressman Ron Paul’s ‘Sanctity of Life legislation’, (H.R. 2597) opposing abortion, has received an ‘A’ rating from Gun Owners of America and an “excellent” grade from pro-secure borders group Numbers USA, check out the Presidential candidate immigration profiles at the bottom right of the web page. There you'll see who is "abysmal" and who is "excellent" when considering their immigration policies. I don't know how anyone can vote for someone "other" than Chuck Baldwin.
