GOP 2012: Republican rebel Ron Paul

http://www.nma.tv
Ron Paul was born in Pittsburgh and helped out on his family's dairy farm as a kid.
He met his future wife, Carol, in high school, where he was a star athlete.
After medical school, Paul served as a flight surgeon in the Air Force and Air National Guard.
Around the same time, he became a disciple of the Austrian School of economics which led him to develop a quasi-libertarian dedication to personal freedoms and desire to limit government's control over society.
After leaving the military, Paul relocated to Texas to work as an obstetrician. He is said to have delivered 4,000 babies.
Paul believes many of America's problems can be traced to President Nixon's decision to take the dollar off the gold standard. This made Paul decide to become a politician.
Paul was elected to his first full term in Congress in 1978. Having delivered so many babies in his district no doubt helped.
Unlike most politicians, public office did nothing to moderate Paul's rigid ideological positions.
He consistently votes against pork-barrel spending for his district and will not take a government pension.
Paul's positions are so outside the mainstream that many think he'd be unelectable, which may explain why he is neglected by the media.

Ron wants the US military to stop going all over the world and killing people, esp. when the Congress has not declared war. No matter who you are and what other things you might quibble with Ron, all are but a trifle measured against his being absolutely correct on foreign policy. I think he's right...on everything.

honestly, i may not agree with all of his views, but he seems like the only politician that would do anything, and quite frankly, that's enough to get me to think about voting for him.

Mitt Romney has sewn up the nomination and the election. This nation is in need of a CEO who can come in, dump the waste, fire the incompetents, get the nation prospering for the people who really count-- the decision makers, the leaders, the go-getters and business owners who really run things. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is the wave of America's future.

@Kevinsouth It's in our interest to protect nations such as Taiwan and S. Korea from the totalitarian menace of China and its clients. We should pull out of the Middle East and leave Europe's defense to itself. I don't think completely doing away with the CIA is a good idea. It was developed as a counter to hostile nations intelligence agencies. They shouldn't be permitted to operate within the US borders--and until 9-11 I don't think they were Supposed to.

But this does nothing to mock Ron Paul, he's just too damn honest on his views for the past 30 years and counting >_>;
