Ronald Ernest “Ron” Paul (born August 20, 1935) is an American doctor, writer, and former Republican Party politician, two time Republican presidential candidate, as well as the presidential nominee of the Libertarian Party in the 1988 U.S. Presidential Election.
Paul served as the U.S. Representative for Texas’ 14th and 22nd congressional districts. He represented the 22nd congressional district from 1976 to 1977 and from 1979 to 1985, and after that represented the 14th congressional district, which comprised Galveston, from 1997 to 2013. Paul is a critic of the government’s fiscal policies, particularly the presence of the Federal Reserve, the tax policy, the military–industrial complex, as well as the War on Drugs. Paul was the initial chairman of the traditional PAC Citizens for a Sound Economy and continues to be qualified as the “intellectual godfather” of the Tea Party movement.
He served as a flight surgeon in the U.S. Air Force from 1963 to 1968. He worked as an obstetrician gynecologist in the 1960s to the 1980s, delivering more than 4,000 infants. Paul is a Senior Fellow of the Mises Institute, and continues to be an active writer, printing on the issues of political and economic theory, in addition to publicizing the notions of economists of the Austrian School for example Murray Rothbard and Ludwig von Mises during his political campaigns.
On July 12, 2011, Paul declared he would forgo seeking another term in Congress so that you can concentrate on his presidential bid. On May 14, 2012, Paul declared that he’d not be competing in any other presidential primaries but that he’d still compete for delegates in states where the primary elections have been held. At the 2012 Republican National Convention, Paul received 190 delegate votes. In January 2013, Paul retired from Congress but nevertheless stays active on school campuses, giving addresses encouraging his libertarian vision.

Quote
1
If you can't protect life, how can you protect liberty?
2
One of the reasons I think that we do such a poor job on protecting our borders is the fact that leaders on both sides of the aisle strongly support the notion that we should have a union, where you literally obliterate the borders and have the three countries become one and that to me is a lot different than being friends.
3
We have allowed our nation to be over-taxed, over-regulated, and over run by bureaucrats. The founders would be ashamed of us for what we are putting up with.
4
By the way, when I say cut taxes, I don't mean fiddle with the code. I mean abolish the income tax and the IRS, and replace them with nothing.
5
I have no problems with the theoretical position of the neo-cons to spread the goodness of America. But just not with force. We should spread it by setting a good example. Getting our house in order. Making sure civil liberties are defended here.
