Who is Ron Paul?
« on: January 19, 2012, 02:42:51 PM »

Who is the real Ron Paul? We get plenty of info on the other candidates, and a lot of it negative I might add!But how much do we know about the personal life of Paul?

I thought this piece from the Christian Science Monitor was worth bringing to the forum.

Those that don't know Ron Paul should definitely read it. As for me, it reaffirmed the things that I already knew and added a few more details that I didn't know.

That was an excellent read, it gives some details that I hadn't known about before.

Here is a good article from my local paper. Before the NH primary a reporter asked Paul who from history he'd most like to have dinner with. He said Ludwig von Mises, Ghandi and Grover Cleveland. The reporter told Paul that Cleveland's grandson lives locally. When Paul learned of this he said he'd like to meet him next time he was in the area. Someone set up a meeting, this article talks about it:
