FORT WORTH, Texas —
Ron Paul says he's all for unity within the Republican Party - but
only if conservatives come together to defend the right principles.
Addressing about 2,000 raucous supporters at the Texas Republican Convention in Fort Worth on Thursday, Paul asked, "Why shouldn't we all just unite behind the Constitution?"
The Libertarian congressman from Lake Jackson and unsuccessful presidential candidate was asked to speak on party unity and fiscal responsibility during an event separate from the convention's main general session.
He called for auditing the U.S. Federal Reserve and ending American involvement in military conflicts overseas. He added of the GOP, "compromising, getting together to spend more money, is what our problem has been."
Paul suspended active campaigning for the White House last month. He is also retiring from Congress.
