I'm wondering if Dr. Paul might be offered the Secretary of Treasury position, or even the vice presidency. Sure, McCain and Paul don't agree on a lot of things, but I'm sure McCain and Dr. Paul know that a libertarian run would split the party and hand the democrats the white house.
Stop wondering. The only thing McCain will do with Ron Paul is attempt to destroy him with the power of office, much like Bill and Hillary Clinton did to Billy Dale.
If you don't remember who he was, Billy Dale was a fellow that John F. Kennedy asked to start up a "White House Travel Office" to facilitate the White House staff news reporters who traveled with the President all over the world.
He arranged hotel rooms, and air travel, etc. when they couldn't pack em all on Air Force One.
He was in charge of it since the 1960's and did a great job for numerous Presidents. Along comes Bill and Hillary, and one of Bill's relatives wanted control of it, to scam off some bucks.
Well, the Clinton's sicked the IRS, FBI, and Janet Reno on his ass. He wound up in Federal Court, defending himself against the IRS, and lost all he owned.
The jury took less then fifteen minutes, to find him not guilty. But he was broke, and the Clintonistas got hold of that office, and milked it for all it was worth.
John McCain won't consider Ron Paul for Vice President, as John McCain has a seething hatred of anyone who doesn't agree with his policies. For ecample, he told Senator John Cornyn to get the hell out of a commitee meeting, saying "Fuck You!, You don't know anything about this!"
He told Chuck Grassl;ey who is also a Senator, that he was "An Asshole" not once, but twice, on the Senate floor.
He isn't one to forgive and forget. He will try to ruin Ron Paul if McCain gets the Presidency and RP criticizes him in any way.
His temper is monumental, and his veracity is non existent.
