Ron Paul is unmatched in congress, he's really the only principled libertarian there. One other republican congressman is nearly as libertarian as Paul, but not quite as consistent in his voting record from what I hear.

Obviously you don't have to be a libertarian to see his appeal though, in Texas the alternative (be it democrat or republican) would inevitably suck.

Here's an exchange between Ron Paul and Greenspan (whom I suspect is a lapsed or closet objectivist) on the gold standard, it's a snippet
of a longer exchange.

For once I agree w/ Goof. Ron Paul is the man. One of the few politicians at that level of government with any sort of morals left.

and he understands gold standard vs fiat currency, which makes him streets ahead of gordon brown, who's been selling off britain's gold reserves to buy *drum roll* EUROS

Ron Paul is one of about 4 or 5 Congresspeople currently in Washington whom I would ever consider voting for.

Agreed. I've heard him pose some very pointed questions to the Bush administration, albeit in rhetorical form.
I'd like to see him and that fag0t Charles Schumer do Celebrity Death Match.

LOL
Just Charles Schumer's face irritates me nearly as much as Rick Santorum.
