Texas Congressman Ron Paul files for GOP presidential bid

This is the best news ever. Here is finally a candidate who can really bring freedom to this country. He may not be perfect (voted against the Iraqi people) but he's without a doubt the best person for the job. He sponsored bills in the past to pull the US out of the UN and to abolish the federal income tax. It doesn't get much better than that.

"Paul, of Lake Jackson, acknowledges that the national GOP has never fully embraced him despite his nine terms in office under its banner. He gets little money from the GOP's large traditional donors, but benefits from individual conservative and Libertarian donors outside Texas. He bills himself as "The Taxpayers' Best Friend," and is routinely ranked either first or second in the House of Representatives by the National Taxpayers Union, a national group advocating low taxes and limited government."
