He may not expect to win (he doesn’t have the support of the GOP backroom), but he will almost certainly make the race more interesting:
U.S. Representative Ron Paul, who has been called the intellectual godfather of the Tea Party, said Friday that the “time is right” for him to try once more to seize the Republican nomination for president.
The Texas Republican and anti-war libertarian announced his third White House bid on ABC’s “Good Morning America” program, saying he is already seeing unprecedented grass-roots support for his long-held calls to reduce the federal debt, government spending and the size of government.
“Coming in No. 1 in the Republican primary is an absolute possibility many, many times better than it was four years ago,” said Mr. Paul, an obstetrician who ran unsuccessfully as a Republican in 2008 and as the Libertarian Party nominee in 1988.
I kept hearing about what a weird dude this Ron Paul guy is. Then I actually looked for myself and .. I’m more in agreement with this joker than any other guy we’ve got running for office.
While not dismissing some of the more ‘out there’ stuff he’s running on about .. it’s interesting that some of the basic stuff the United States was founded on is now somehow looney tunes stuff.
When did that happen?
