There's not all in yet, but likely Hunter or Thompson though I like Gingrich.
I look forward to your Hunter/Thompson examples of hypocracy, deflecting criticism from Paul.
I answered your question, can you answer mine? Wikipedia, though not my favorite source, suffices for this exercise.
Paul and his supporters declare the income and social security tax unconstitutional. What are his plans for running the government after stripping around $2.2 trillion out of the governments $2.4 trillion revenue stream. Simply ceasing social security benefits (and his supporters say he won't do that) won't do it. How will he protect the country without a military? Any serious thought given to these minor inconveniences? Who are his economic advisors?
BTW, if he wan't to balance the budget, we have no revenue at all.
And if you're going to tell me flat (income) tax or fair (sales) tax, let's play the Roon Paul supporter game and please, provide the precise location of the word flat or sales in the Constitution.

Estimated receipts for fiscal year 2006 are $2.2 trillion. This expected income is broken down by the following sources:
The President's budget for 2006 totals $2.6 trillion. This budget request is broken down by the following expenditures:
(The amount that government spending exceeds total receipts)
So why the constant nitpicking of Paul? -- Do you really believe he is some sort of boogyman?
* $544.8 billion (20.90%) - Social Security
* $512.1 billion (18.00%) - Defense

* $70.7 billion (2.71%) - Transportation

See how easy that was? Nothing left that doesn't fit the Constitution and now we can pare taxes down to nearly zilch. I'm also sure that more could be cut out of administration of justice and general government, as well... with far fewer feeding bureaucraps to starve, we need far less general government anyway...
