He's a Republican and a Member of Congress from a district in Texas. Some years ago he was the Libertarian Party's candidate for President. Though he seems to be a nice fellow, a lot his rank and file followers are members of the tin-foil hat brigade. Among them the ones who don't believe that three commercial aircraft crashed into the World Trade Center towers and the Pentagon building. Since I lost two people I knew who were on the plane which hit the Pentagon, that crowd of non-believers and conspiracy theory cranks resembles the stuff found on the bottom of my shoes after traipsing through a barn in which livestock live.

Libertarian running for president under the Republican party. Popular with college-kids but no one else. (He's got less than 5% of the polled votes for the GOP.)
He's been in the Senate forver and has a track record for voting against anything not explicitly in the Constitution.

I don't have a clue, and I have a TV. I have an extra one in my garage with a VHS player in it. You want it?

Ron Paul is the only Republican who can defeat Hillary Clinton.
Ron Paul is not a pacifist.
Paul voted for the Authorization for Use of Military Force in response to the September 11, 2001 attacks.
He sees the terroists and their teachers as individuals and not as representatives of any nation or the religion of Islam.
Paul introduced the Marque and Reprisal Act of 2001, which would have granted Letters of Marque and Reprisal, as authorized by Article One, Section Eight, against the specific terrorists, instead of warring against a foreign state. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_positions_of_Ron_Paul#Letters_of_Marque_and_Reprisal
Among all candidates, Dr. Paul is now first in total donations from military personnel and veterans.
Obama and McCain were second and third in donations from military and veterans.

Tancredo, Ron Paul, and Hunter have the most conservative voting records on immigration.
http://www.betterimmigration.com/candidates/2006/prez08_gop2.html
http://www.betterimmigration.com/candidates/2006/prez08_gop1.html
Tancredo and Ron Paul have the best voting records for reducing government spending according to the National Taxpayers Union.
They were the only candidates to score 100 percent "A" Grades from 1992 to 2005.
http://www.ntu.org/main/page.php?PageID=97#
Sportsbook.com rates both Paul and Romney at 8 to 1 odds which is approximately an 11 percent chance of becoming the next President.
Mitt Romney's campaign only had 35 percent more cash than Ron Paul after subtracting debts on 06/30/2007.
($3,176,525 / $2,354,855 = 1.349)
http://herndon1.sdrdc.com/cgi-bin/cancomsrs/?_08+P80000748
http://herndon1.sdrdc.com/cgi-bin/cancomsrs/?_08+P80003353
Paul's campaign has almost 5 times as much money to spend as Tancredo.
http://herndon1.sdrdc.com/cgi-bin/cancomsrs/?_08+P80003429
Romney's contributions from individuals dropped by a third from the first quarter to the second quarter.
Paul's contributions almost quadrupled from Q1 to Q2.
http://projects.washingtonpost.com/2008-presidential-candidates/?nid=roll_08campaign
Ron Paul received more than 10 times as much in donations in the last week of June as he received in the first week of April.
http://query.nictusa.com/pres/2007/Q2/C00432914/A_DATE_C00432914.html
Ron Paul's $2.4 million in fundraising after the second quarter placed him:
4th in total receipts to date
3rd in total current assets (ahead of former front-runner John McCain, and just $800,000 behind Mitt Romney)
Ron Paul has more friends in MySpace and more subscribers in YouTube than any other Republican.
As of September 4, Ron Paul has won 9 of 23 straw polls.
http://www.ronpaul2008.com/straw-poll-results/
Thus far, 47% of the contributions made to Ron Paul's campaign are donations of under $200 from individuals (John McCain's 17% is the second-highest percentage).
http://www.usaelectionpolls.com/2008/articles/ron-paul-small-donors-love-him.html
This is a telling statistic, as it highlights the fact that most other candidates rely heavily upon donations from corporate interests and political action committees (PACs) (i.e. moneyed, influence-seeking sources who can readily afford to contribute large sums). Since Congressman Paul has always voted against special favors and privileges for anyone, special interests know they have nothing to gain by stuffing Ron Paul's campaign coffers. As one member of my local Meetup group put it on a home-made sign, "Ron Paul is thin because he won't let special interests buy him lunch."
