Ron Paul, the Texas congressman and libertarian with an army of followers, says he will decide on a third presidential bid "in a month or so."
But appearing on the Alex Jones Show, a syndicated radio program, Paul appeared to suggest Tuesday he is ready to take the plunge again
"We are getting awfully close, and there is just a few other things that I have to iron out personally to make my final decision. But it has to come," said Paul.
Paul's fundraising prowess in 2008 shocked the political establishment, though his legions of supporters failed to translate into strong Republican primary showings. Still, it's likely another Paul candidacy could shakeup the expected 2012 GOP presidential field, especially if the anti-government spending congressman resonates with a majority of Tea Party movement followers.
Meanwhile, Paul did not rule out a third-party presidential bid either.
"I guess in life, you should keep all options open. But right now, I'm still a Republican congressman and we did it last time as a Republican," he said.

What about Rand?
Or, as the rest of call it, "separating fools from their fiat money."
No thanks.
He loves being a spoiler.
He seems to appear on the Alex Jones show a lot, doesn’t he?
Is he on the DNC payroll???
A transparent lie, of course.
Mister Paul decided to run in 2012 in 2008.

Cue Facepalm Guy in 3...2...1...

And we Breathlessly await the decision

Yep, he’ll run because he loves the spotlight more than getting things done.
Ironicly, if he didn’t run, but instead chose to get behind a candidate he could (especially this year with the wide open field) sway the primaries; almost to the point of being a “king maker”. If Ron Paul got behind a single candidate early (say Allen West or Herman Cain for example) he could get the majority of Tea Party conservatives to coalese around a single candidate.
But no, he’ll run, split the field, and help a RINO get the nomination.
Libertarians, RINO’s, Jihadists and Libtards rejoice...
The rest of us groan....
Skip it, Ron. There are better men and women than you in the field. Support one of them.
Though I’m paleocon to the core (read: libertarian leanings), I really would prefer that Paul not run. The last time he did there was a pogrom of Paulites here at FR.
Jesse Ventura, complains about Republicans and Democrats being too much alike, its obvious he doesnt understand what the TEA party is for.
It's not like he ever needed a snowball's chance in Hell of winning to get him to run before.

Oh ... wait ... you meant THIS GUY:
Of course
