Ron Paul for POTUS?

Who is RON PAUL? Ron Paul represents the 14^th district (Galveston, Lake Jackson, and Victoria) of the state of Texas on the Republican side. He is currently serving his 12^th term. PAUL was born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He graduated from Gettysburg College and then Duke University School of Medicine, before proudly serving as a flight surgeon in the U.S. Air Force during the 1960s. He and his wife Carol moved to Texas in 1968, where he began his medical practice in Brazoria County. Dr. Paul is the leading spokesman in Washington for limited constitutional government, LOW taxes, FREE MARKETS, and a return to sound monetary policies based on commodity-backed currency. He is known among both his colleagues in Congress and his constituents for his consistent voting record in the House of Representatives: Dr. Paul NEVER votes for legislation unless the proposed measure is expressly authorized by the Constitution. In the words of former Treasury Secretary William Simon, Dr. Paul is the "one exception to the Gang of 535" on Capitol Hill.

Every year there is a Straw Poll that is taken amongst the participants at CPAC (click the link to see results) which I find the results interesting. CPAC is Conservative Political Action Conference. It is held every year in Washington D.C. usually the second weekend in February. First off, it is a POLL so it’s based off opinion. 2^nd off, It doesn’t always reflect who will be the nominee. For example the past two years have been PAUL, although the three years before that was ROMNEY, and in 2008, our Nominee was McCain. I would LOVE to see NEWT GINGRICH. He is well-known as the architect of the "Contract with America" that led the Republican Party to victory in 1994 by capturing the majority in the U.S. House for the first time in forty years. After he was elected Speaker, he disrupted the status quo by moving power out of Washington and back to the American people. Under his leadership, Congress passed welfare reform, passed the first balanced budget in a generation, and passed the first tax cut in sixteen years. In addition, the Congress restored funding to strengthen our defense and intelligence capabilities, an action later lauded by the bipartisan 9/11 Commission. On the ticket with NEWT, I also Like TIM PAWLENTY (GOV-MN), CHRIS CRISTIE or even HALEY BARBOUR.

Whatever the future brings for 2012, I HOPE and PRAY Republicans will trump.
