Ronald Ernest Paul (born August 20, 1935) is a 10th-term United States congressman from Lake Jackson, Texas, a member of the Republican Party, a physician, and a candidate for the Republican nomination in the 2008 presidential election. He has represented Texas's 14th congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives since 1997 and represented Texas's 22nd district in 1976 and from 1979 to 1985. Paul also ran for president in the 1988 presidential election as the nominee for the Libertarian Party, while remaining a registered Republican. After graduation from the Duke University School of Medicine in 1961 and his residency in obstetrics/gynecology, he was drafted and served as a flight surgeon during, but not in, the Vietnam War.[2]

Ron Paul has been referred to as a conservative,[3] a constitutionalist,[4] and a libertarian.[5] His pro-life[6] and states' rights positions are intertwined. He supports free trade, sharply lower taxes, smaller government, and a non-interventionist foreign policy,[7] advocating a withdrawal from NATO and the United Nations. He voted against the USA PATRIOT Act, the Iraq War Resolution, and the Military Commissions Act of 2006. Paul supports reduced government spending, opposes the debt-based monetary system and seeks the gradual re-introduction of the silver or gold standard. He states that he has never voted in Congress to raise taxes or to approve an unbalanced budget.[8] He has called for the abolition of the Internal Revenue Service and the federal income tax.[9]

Over the course of his 2008 presidential campaign, Paul has generated strong support on the Internet[10] and is among the top Republican Internet search terms as measured by Hitwise,[11] Alexa Internet,[12] and Technorati.[13] In YouTube, he leads the other presidential candidates, with over 28,000 subscribers.[14][15] Despite having won four out of five of the 2008 GOP debates according to the results of online polls by the debates' sponsors, he has received relatively little name recognition from the mainstream media.[16] [17] While he places in the top tier in Republican straw polls,[18] Paul has never polled higher than 3% among Gallup samples of voters leaning Republican.[19]

He is the latest great hope for Texas of course.

I'd be more inclined to say he's a good vote for 2008 if he was in favour of abortion rights and didn't keep to the idiotic idea of abolishing the IRS. But I'm Canadian so what I think matters little here.

Why does he want to reintroduce the gold standard? That's just retarded.

A religious Republican from Texas, who's main supporters are some nuts on the interwebs.

 

[mugs]

Took this quiz thingy recently and he was my closest match: http://www.vajoe.com/candidate_calculator.html

I was not at all surprised. Although he does have a few screwy/impractical ideas. (edit: which would explain why he was only a 70% match)

 

[2Xtreme21]

Probably one of the only republicans with a brain.
