Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, whose outspoken libertarian views and folksy style made him a cult hero during two previous presidential campaigns, will announce on Tuesday that he's going to try a third time.
Sources close to Paul, who is in his 12th term in the House, said he will unveil an exploratory presidential committee, a key step in gearing up for a White House race. He will also unveil the campaign’s leadership team in Iowa, where the first votes of the presidential election will be cast in caucuses next year.
Meet the GOP's Potential Candidates
Paul, 75, ran as the Libertarian Party candidate in 1988, finishing with less than one half a percent of the vote. After more than a decade as a Republican congressman,
Paul gave it another shot in the 2008 presidential election, gaining attention for being the only Republican candidate calling for the end to the war in Iraq and for his “money bomb” fundraising strategy, which brought in millions of dollars from online donors in single-day pushes.
Paul took 10 percent of the vote in the Iowa caucuses and 8 percent in New Hampshire’s primary. He finished second, with 14 percent of the vote, in the Nevada caucuses, and eventually finished fourth in the Republican nominating process with 5.6 percent of the total vote. Paul’s campaign book, The Revolution: A Manifesto also reached No. 1 on The New York Times best-seller list in 2008.
This would seem to be an ideal year for Paul: Since the last election, the Republican Party has moved much closer to his view on deficit reduction, which made him an early tea party favorite. All of the party's top-tier presidential hopefuls are focusing on lowering debt, government spending, and tax rates, issues Paul has long advocated.

Ah, Ron Paul, representing the Alex Jones psycho wing of the universe.
We kicked the Germans out of the rest of Europe and kicked Japan’s ass back to their tiny island and they weren’t a bunch of stupid scumbags either.
The problem isn’t difficult, it just takes guts and maybe Palin like rino McCain ain’t got’em.
You Palinbots aren’t going to fair any better than the paultards if all you can bring is emotion and no facts.
I agree with you. While I do not agree with everything he says, I could vote for him. More than I could say about anyone else showing interest.

Yep, sure does. Repeat a lie often enough, some gullible twit will believe it. Look at YOU, for example.
Thanks for the info; however, I am not more concerned about one than the other but EQUALLY concerned, as you should be. Do not overlook the Kokesh connection and I will not overlook the Kelso connection.
Is there a Ron Paul Truth File on FR...??
I also would vote for him. He would be the best candidate to vote for in this list of candidates.
