Last night, while attending a town hall event in Lima, Ohio, the Republican vice presidential nominee was asked why Ron Paul supporters should vote Romney-Ryan ticket. He bluntly responded: “Do you want Barack Obama to be re-elected? Then don’t vote for Ron Paul.”
(The question, however, wasn’t about voting for Ron Paul, who is not running for president anymore. It was why Ron Paul supporters should vote for Romney and Ryan. Whatever…)
According to Ryan, the Republican ticket and Ron Paul actually see eye to eye on many issues.
“There are many things that Ron has championed that I am a big believer in, especially liberty and sound money,” said Ryan before launching into a criticism of the Federal Reserve and its third round of quantitative easing (QE3), which he described as “money printing.”
Paul previously criticized QE3, saying, “The Fed’s only solution for every problem is to print more money and provide more liquidity. Mr. Bernanke and Fed governors appear not to understand that our current economic malaise resulted directly because of the excessive credit the Fed already pumped into the system.”
While Ron Paul has yet to endorse the Romney-Ryan ticket, his son Sen. Rand Paul is campaigning for the Republican nominee and will be joining both Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan at an event in Ohio tonight, the Washington Post reported reported.
