No.
If he ever gets that way-back machine to work, I might think about it.
I have to admit I was really drawn to your post and in turn your profile page. I was like you back in high school, very politically astute and active. (As I’ve gotten older, I’ve become rather pessimistic, sort of happens when you’re a conservative and you see freedom slowly slipping away from you and America).
But that’s neither here nor there. Let me get to your original question RE: Ron Paul.
President—Let me put it to you this way. Given the choice between a Texan and a Kenyan, I’ll take the Texan every day of the week and twice on Sundays. Now, that doesn’t mean that I don’t have issues with Paul (though I am incredibly annoyed by some of his supporters). His foreign policy commentary has been well documented around here (if you have some time to kill, search articles that have been posted around here, it’s like having a conservative Lexus/Nexus at your fingertips) Someone earlier in the thread mentioned he could be a Treasury secretary and while some might find that a tad preposterous, there’s a part of me that still says when it comes to him running again “we could do (and did do) worse”.
Congress—well, he’s already there, and I can only surmise that he can have his congressional seat as long as he keeps winning reelection. He gets a lot of flak around here for among other things the earmarks he’s given to shrimp companies in his district (and there are still those that either defend that or consider it an outright lie), but my best guess is that his seat will be his as long as he likes.
Senate—This would probably be one for the Texans on FR, but could Paul actually win a statewide race in Texas? That aside, I had the very crazy thought of Paul ending up on the Senate Finance Committee and we could all watch the fur fly. While I’m on the train of thought of statewide races...
Governor—Could Paul win this statewide race? His supporters might say something to the effect of “Paul doesn’t need to become a governor, he’s done just fine as a Congressman to be a good President”. Which I suppose is a fair assessment. But the thing to ask yourself is would he make a good governor? Someone else mentioned the Trans Texas Corridor earlier in the thread and if there was one man who could be a thorn in the side of that, it would be Ron Paul. And who knows, Texas might run a budget surplus on his watch.
At any rate, this went on longer than I anticipated, but keep your head in the game and be sure to think for yourself as much as you can.
He continues to disappoint me with his Taft-style foreign policy however.
