I'm confident that, if given the chance, Ron Paul would prove me right. His track record of supporting the constitution and being a true conservative is unmatched, and his actions (voting record thus far) backs up his previous campaigns' rhetoric.
To illustrate the character I see in RP read
THIS , would ya? It's from 2000, regarding a bill to award Ronald and Nancy Reagan the Gold Medal of Freedom, and why RP voted against it. It didn't pass his test of whether it was a constitutionally authorized function of the federal government, so he voted against it and instead invited the rest of congress to all join him pitch in $100 to give the Reagans their medal. NONE of 'em took him up on his offer.
Regarding watching from the shadows, that's where I was at prior to Paul announcing his candidacy. I even moved to NH as a part of the Free State Project due to more or less giving up on a return to sanity at the federal level. Ron Paul cured my apathy.
