Ron Paul to retire from congress.

[Momanohedhunter]

Just got that on the radio. I will post articles as they come. If you find any, post them.
I will have to modify my opinion of the man from political hack and career politician to a true believer. He wont run for congress to focus on running for president.

 

[Truthmatters]

I think he is using the Palin plan.

Make a job out of running for president.

Book sales and speaking engaugements provide big bucks and you never have to work again.

Rep. Ron Paul announced Tuesday that he won't seek re-election to the Texas U.S. House seat he's presented for nearly 24 years, and instead will concentrate on getting the Republican nomination for president to run against President Obama in 2012.

Paul made the announcement via Twitter, and linked to a local Texas newspaper to share the details.

"I felt it was better that I concentrate on one election," Paul told The Facts, a news service covering Brazoria County, Texas, a portion of which Paul represents. "It's about that time when I should change tactics."

Thanks.

This should be interesting.

lol

 

[uscitizen]

I suspect he is not wanting to be at odds with his son in congress.
I do not think he could maintain his integrity and still be supportive of Rand.

 

[uscitizen]

So in short Ron will never again hold a US govt position?

 

[Momanohedhunter]

Not after the election I dont think.

Really?

Make a job out of running for president?

The 75 year old doctor now needs to make a career out of running for president?

His involvement in politics has more to do with his passion and commitment to the original constitution than any career move, i would guess.

 

[uscitizen]

I think that is a safe assumption.

I don't agree with Paul on a fair number of issues, but he's by far the most principled person among all presidential candidates. I plan to vote for him in the primaries, although I don't hold out much hope that he can win the nomination.

 

[Truthmatters]

He will give Palin a run for her money on that sweet "money for nothin and the perks for free" plan she discovered and liked so much she quit her government job.

he's spent his career in TX plowing against the establishment. He has a snowballs chance in hell.....that said, once again, like four years ago, I'll be voting for him anyway...

 

[Momanohedhunter]

It says allot about the guy if he will give up his spot in congress to run. So many dont, Hell Obama wouldn't do it, neither would Clinton or any others from both sides of the isle.
