Rep. Ron Paul (R—TX) for President in 2008!
Submitted by Cato the Younger on Thu, 2007-03-29 12:59.
"The exploratory committee set out to find out if there would be support. To tell you the truth, I was reluctant to set up that committee, I was urged and did it. I was pleasantly surprised to find a number of people who responded and the fundraising went very well. I have been encouraged and I think a lot of people want to hear my message. I'm willing to deliver it.”
Congressman Ron Paul
March 12, 2007 on C-SPAN's Washington Journal
Congressman Ron Paul of Texas, age 71, announced the creation of an exploratory committee to contemplate a Paul candidacy for the Republican Party Presidential ticket in 2008. Paul was a former Air Force surgeon and ob/gyn medical doctor. Paul is possessed of a profound commitment to statesmanship from principle. He is one of the few legislators in Congress that still considers the question, 'Does Congress even have this power pursuant to the Constitution?' Paul intransigently advocates constitutionally-limited government, a free-market economy, fiscal conservatism in public expenditures, a non-interventionist foreign policy of strategic independence, and a gold standard. He is pro-life, and holds to a consistent life ethic. He is steadfast defender of states' rights and the Tenth Amendment. Paul has served at various times on the House Banking Committee, and is founder and member of the The Liberty Committee.
If the Big Government, subsidy-and-kickback, special-interest Rockefeller Republicans don't predictably mount a challenge to his candidacy, it would be a profound step in the direction of liberty for the United States of America, if we could witness a Paul Presidency in 2008. If he makes it to the state primaries, please consider supporting his nomination. Do your homework on him and you will see he is an honorable man of integrity, and the last of the great citizen-statesmen in the Old Republican tradition of Patrick Henry and John Randolph of Roanoke.
