He's the only candidate running that's within the 2 party system who is different. They all are the same, from both sides of the aisle they are in it for their corporate masters. He won't get the Repub. nomination because the system will never allow it. So let us all hope that he runs as a 3rd party candidate. If he does step up he will garner a large number of votes and will definitely peel off a large number of Repub. votes Ron Paul has made it very clear he is going to remain a Republican. Although, his views are very different from most Republicans.

Ron Paul was born on August 20, 1935.

In official policy positions, he's more "moderate" a libertarian. This may be simply because he's working to be more broadly "electable". Bear in mind that in 1974 Ronald Reagan described libertarianism as being the heart of Conservatism. Rand's policies are strongly similar to Reagan's advocated positions before he ran for office.

As many as there are Americans who do their research instead of blindly following a party. As many as people who are not afraid of the hard choices that must be made to restore America. As many as people who want to be truly free and will take action to make it so.
