Ron Paul's mini-convention

He and his supporters plan to have it on Sept. 2nd, in the same locale as the Republican Convention and on the 2nd night of that convention.

Hmmm. Well, so I can understand having issues with John McCain.
But an event like this is bound, not just to hurt McCain, but to help Barack Obama, the Democratic Party nominee. Does Ron Paul really want to do that? Are Obama's proposed taxation and spending policies compatible with Paul's libertarian economic views? Gee. I don't think so.

And what about all that talk from Paul during the Republican campaign when he pledged more than once not to run a third-party candidacy this fall?
