Ron Paul

Ronald Ernest Paul, MD (born August 20, 1935), a physician and Texas politician, is a Republican member of the United States House of Representatives from Texas's 14th Congressional District (map) and a former Presidential Candidate of the United States Libertarian Party. First elected to Congress as a Republican in the 22nd District in 1976, he served through 1984, and then retired due to his support for the concept of term limits for Congressmen. After his failed Presidential bid in 1988, Paul returned to Congress in 1996 — again elected as a Republican, however, against the wishes of the local Party, who had backed Paul's primary opponent, the incumbent Democratic representative who had switched party affilation.
