Ron Paul has been true to Liberty for over 30 years?

"Ron Paul is one of the outstanding leaders fighting for a stronger national defense. As a former Air Force officer, he knows well the needs of our armed forces, and he always puts them first. We need to keep him fighting for our country."  - Ronald Reagan, U.S. President

"I strongly support Ron Paul, we very badly need to have more Representatives in the House who understand in a principled way the importance of property rights and religious freedom." Milton Friedman, Nobel Prize economist

"Ron Paul is the one exception to the Gang of 535." William Simon, Secretary of Treasury

"Rep. Paul has a record of philosophical consistency unmatched in recent congressional history. He seeks to limit government at practically every turn. His refusal to compromise is legendary." John Brady and Bob McAdam, The Wall Street Journal

"This courageous and quiet Congressman has made a worldwide name for himself as the defender of liberty in this country... a persistent fighter for the reduction of the power of bureaucrats everywhere... and one politician who cannot be bought by special interests." Maxwell Newton, New York Post

"You're working for the most honest man in Congress." John McCain (to Kent Snyder), 1988




The phrase "honest politician" is an oxymoron; yet in the sense that Paul never, ever votes against his stated principles -- which are libertarian and include the belief that much of our federal government, from the IRS to the Department of Education, and the massive taxes that support it, should be abolished -- the phrase describes him... The same beliefs that cause him to vote against every single appropriations bill in Congress also carry over to his private life. He intends, for example, to refuse his congressional pension. He would not let his children take out federally subsidized education loans. He actually returns money each year from his congressional office -- some $50,000 last year. Texas Monthly, October 2001

"I have always thought that there are two brands of conservatives: the kind who follow the money and conservatives of principle. Paul is a conservative of principle. He's held his ground, and he is an honest man." Ronnie Dugger, October 2001

"Of all the candidates so far declared, only Paul can credibly lay claim to the legacy of the Reagan-Goldwater revolution." Radley Balko, February 20, 2007

"Lobbyists don't even bother going to his office. If their scheme doesn't fall among the federal government's enumerated powers under the Constitution, they know perfectly well that there is no chance Ron Paul will support it." Thomas Woods, March 26, 2007

"I mean this is all seriousness, Ron Paul is my pro-stock market candidate." Donald Luskin, May 3, 2007
