On Monday morning, Congressman Ron Paul grabbed the national spotlight in an interview on CNN. While conceding that he knows he cannot win the Presidency, he confirmed that his campaign is far from over.

The interview, which has been replayed all morning on CNN and is making news all over the internet, provided Paul with the opportunity to clarify his true objectives for staying in the race. A popular part of the interview was this exchange between CNN and Ron Paul:

CNN: The flip side of that coin, you are the only Republican calling for a withdrawal from Iraq. If you’re not going to become President and be in a position to affect that, would they be better off voting for the Democratic candidate?

Paul: I don’t think so. I don’t think they’re very sincere. If you look at Obama’s voting record, he’s voted not to end the war. He’s voted to finance the war. His rhetoric is playing to the people that come my way but he is every bit as much of an — He wants to send more troops into Afghanistan. He wants to broaden the military. I think it’s a fraud what he’s talking about when he wants to really get out of Iraq. I think that’s politics.

Paul might not have tossed mean-spirited one-liners, but, being the gentleman that he is, spoke with fact and exposed lies. He also said in the interview that he will not support John McCain for President.
