Texas Representative Ron Paul garnered more than 80% of his state’s GOP primary election votes yesterday and will be heading back to Washington, easily defeating three different challengers.
Opponents Tim Graney, John Gay and Gerald Wall accused the doctor of becoming too entrenched into the ways and means of Washington D.C. and argued that Paul has abandoned the duties of his position in order to promote his book, among other things.
Paul, who ran for president for the second time in the 2008 presidential elections, was a hero among many believers in small government and the anti-war movement during the campaign. Paul believes in a substantially smaller government, fiscally sound policies and the destruction of our federal reserve system and fiat currency.
Ron Paul has served Texas’ 14th district for 14 years.
Way to go Ron Paul. Very happy that the attack dogs have lost and you have prevailed!
Cheers to Ron Paul and the voters his district. Your district is in great hands; district worth emulating.
Go Ron! He still has the general election in November, but I have confidence he will beat the Democrat and have another two year term.
How about Ron/Rand Paul ticket for 2012 Presidential elections??
