Republican primary campaign
Paul formally declared his candidacy for the 2008 Republican nomination on March 12, 2007, on C-SPAN.[110][111] His campaign had intense grassroots support – his supporters were said to "always show up"[112] – and he had dozens of wins of GOP "straw polls". Additionally, Ron Paul garnered much popularity among college students, with about 500 Students for Ron Paul groups formed across the United States.[113] Few major politicians endorsed Paul, but he won the endorsement of Houston political activist Clymer Wright, the main promoter of the municipal term limits imposed in Houston during 1991.[114]
Paul's campaign showed "surprisingly strong" fundraising[115] with several record-breaking events. He had the greatest rate of military contribution for 2008,[116][117] and donations coming from individuals,[118] aided significantly by an online presence and very active campaigning by endorsers,[119] who organized "moneybomb" fundraisers acquiring millions of dollars during several months. Such fundraising earned Paul the status of having raised more than any other Republican candidate during 2007's fourth-quarter.[120] Paul's name was a number-one web search term as ranked by Technorati, beginning around May 2007.[121] He has had more YouTube subscriptions since May 20, 2007, than any other candidate.[122]
Paul was largely ignored by traditional media,[123] including at least one incident where FOX News did not invite him to a GOP debate featuring all other presidential candidates at the time.[124] One exception was Glenn Beck's program on Headline News, where Beck interviewed Paul for the full hour of his show.[125]
Though projections of 2008 Republican delegate counts varied widely, Paul's count was consistently third among the three candidates remaining after Super Tuesday, 2008. According to CNN[126] and The New York Times,[127] by Super Tuesday Paul had received five delegates in North Dakota, and was projected to receive two in Iowa, four in Nevada, and five in Alaska based on caucus results, totaling 16 delegates. Paul's campaign projected 42 delegates based on the same results, including delegates from Colorado, Maine, and Minnesota.[128]
In the January 2008 Louisiana caucus, Paul scored second after John McCain, but uncommitted delegates outnumbered both candidates' pledged delegates, since a registration deadline had been extended to January 12.[129] Paul said he had the greatest number of pledged Louisiana delegates who had registered by the original January 10 deadline, and formally challenged the deadline extension and the Louisiana GOP's exclusion of voters due to an outdated list;[130][131] he projected three Louisiana delegates.
The Super Tuesday West Virginia caucus was won by Mike Huckabee, whose state campaign coordinators reportedly arranged to give three Huckabee delegates to Paul in exchange for votes from Paul's endorsers.[132] Huckabee has not confirmed this delegate pledge.[133]
Paul's preference votes in primaries and caucuses began at 10 percent in Iowa (winning Jefferson County) and eight percent in New Hampshire, where he had the endorsement of state sovereignty champion, State Representative Dan Itse; on Super Tuesday they ranged from 25 percent in Montana and 21 percent in North Dakota caucuses, where he won several counties, to three percent in several state primaries, averaging under 10 percent in primaries overall.[134]
After sweeping four states on March 4, McCain was projected widely to have a majority of delegates pledged to vote for him in the September 2008 party convention. Paul obliquely acknowledged McCain on March 6: "Though victory in the political sense [is] not available, many victories have been achieved due to hard work and enthusiasm." He continued to contest the remaining primaries,[135] having added, "McCain has the nominal number ... but if you're in a campaign for only gaining power, that is one thing; if you're in a campaign to influence ideas and the future of the country, it's never over."[136] Paul's 2008 book, The Revolution: A Manifesto, became a The New York Times and Amazon.com bestseller immediately upon release.[137][138][139][140] His newest book, End the Fed, has been released and it was translated also in Italian.[141]
On June 12, 2008, Paul withdrew his bid for the Republican nomination, citing his resources could be better spent on improving America. Some of the $4 million remaining campaign contributions was invested into the new political action and advocacy group called Ron Paul's Campaign for Liberty.[142] Paul told the newsmagazine NOW on PBS the goal of the Campaign for Liberty is to "spread the message of the Constitution and limited government, while at the same time organizing at the grassroots level and teaching pro-liberty activists how to run effective campaigns and win elections at every level of government."[143]
Newsletter controversy
Further information: Ron Paul presidential campaign, 2008#Ron Paul newsletter controversy
An editor has expressed a concern that this article lends undue weight to certain ideas, incidents, controversies or matters relative to the article subject as a whole. Please help to create a more balanced presentation. Discuss and resolve this issue before removing this message. (December 2011)
In the year of Ron Paul's election to Congress, he also helped found the Foundation for Rational Economics and Education. This think tank began publishing a newsletter bearing Paul's name; Dr. Ron Paul's Freedom Report.
This newsletter, based in Washington DC, focused on "a political type of business-finance" information.
In 1984, as he left Congress, Paul also set up Ron Paul and Associates (RP&A), with his former Congressional Chief of Staff, Lew Rockwell. The next year, 1985, RP&A began publishing The Ron Paul Investment Newsletter, also business-financial information, and also based in Washington, DC.
After his failed run for president in 1988, Ron Paul moved back to Texas, but the newsletter continued to be published in Washington, DC, with Rockwell sometimes named as "associate editor and contributor".
Starting in 1990, Rockwell began advocating Paleo-libertarianism, an outreach to social conservatives, by pandering to social issues instead of the more secular focus of the libertarian movement of that time[144]. That year, the Ron Paul-monikered newsletters Rockwell was known to edit began printing controversial, apparently racist articles.
These articles, written by an unidentified author in the first person narrative, included statements such as:
Boy, it sure burns me to have a national holiday for Martin Luther King. I voted against this outrage time and time again as a Congressman. What an infamy that Ronald Reagan approved it! We can thank him for our annual Hate Whitey Day." A column on carjacking ended "even in my little town of Lake Jackson, Texas, I've urged everyone in my family to know how to use a gun in self defense. For the animals are coming."[145] Two other statements that garnered controversy were "opinion polls
consistently show only about 5% of blacks have sensible political opinions".
In an article titled "The Pink House" the newsletter wrote that "Homosexuals, not to speak of the rest of society, were far better off when social pressure forced them to hide their activities."[146]
Up to Paul's departure from Washington in 1988, there is agreement that no such articles were printed. Reason Magazine, in 2008, published an article in which it said that Rockwell's Paleo-Libertarian advocacy had resulted in "a flurry of articles and manifestos whose racially charged talking points and vocabulary mirrored" the articles now inserted in the Paul newsletters. It went on to say that a half dozen libertarians from that era and clique specifically "fingered Rockwell" as the author of the articles, themselves.[147]
The bigoted articles stopped being inserted in Paul-masthead newsletters, in 1993.
When Paul began working toward returning to Congress in 1995, he gave an interview to C-SPAN in which he described the newsletters as "business-financial" talking about "monetary matters and the gold standard", with no indication of being aware of the added, controversial articles[148].
These statements were first brought up by Paul's opponent in the 1996 Congressional election, Charles "Lefty" Morris.
At the time Paul's campaign did not deny writing the newsletters,[149][150][151], campaign spokesman Michael Sullivan stating that they were taken "out of context". Paul, himself, is quoted in the Dallas Morning News as saying "If someone challenges your character and takes the interpretation of the NAACP as proof of a man's character, what kind of a world do you live in?"[152]
In March 2001, Paul stated that the documents were authored by ghostwriters, that campaign advisors in 1996 had decided denying authorship would be too confusing. He stated that while he did not write the challenged passages, he bore "some moral responsibility" for their publication.[153]
At the end of 2007, both the New York Sun and The New York Times Magazine reprinted passages from early 1990s publications of Paul's newsletters, attacking them for content deemed racist.[8] These were the same newsletters that had been used against Paul during his 1996 congressional campaign.
On January 8, 2008, the day of the New Hampshire primary, The New Republic published a story by James Kirchick quoting from selected newsletters published under Paul's name.[56][154]
Responding to the charges in a CNN interview, Paul denied any involvement in authoring the passages, saying:
Everybody knows in my district that I didn't write them and I don't speak like that... and I've been reelected time and time again and everyone knows I don't participate in that kind of language.
The point is, when you bring this question up, you're really saying 'you're a racist, or are you a racist?' The answer is no, I'm not a racist. As a matter of fact, Rosa Parks is one of my heroes, Martin Luther King is a hero, because they practiced the libertarian principle of civil disobedience and nonviolence.
Libertarians are incapable of being a racist because racism is a collectivist idea: you see people in groups. A civil libertarian as myself sees everyone as an important individual.
—Ron Paul, CNN, January 10, 2008[155]
Additionally, Paul's campaign stated through a press release that the quotations had come from an unnamed ghostwriter and without Paul's consent. Paul again denounced and disavowed the "small-minded thoughts", citing his 1999 House speech praising Rosa Parks for her courage; he said the charges simply "rehashed" the decade-old Morris attack.[156]
CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer said that the writing "Didn't sound like the Ron Paul I've come to know."[157]
Later, Nelson Linder, president of the Austin chapter of the NAACP, also defended Paul, saying that he's not a racist, and is being smeared because he's a political threat to the establishment.[158]
The news magazine Reason republished Paul's 1996 defense of the newsletters,[159] and later reported evidence from "a half-dozen longtime libertarian activists" that Lew Rockwell had been the chief ghostwriter.[56] Rockwell denies this charge, and "has characterized discussion of the newsletters as 'hysterical smears aimed at political enemies.'"[160]
Assistance for third-party candidates
On September 5, 2008, the Constitution Party of Montana removed Chuck Baldwin from their presidential ticket, replacing him with Ron Paul for president and Michael Peroutka for vice president.[161] Paul made an announcement stating that he "was aware that the party planned to do this, and has said that as long as he can remain passive and silent about the development, and as long as he need not sign any declaration of candidacy, that he does not object."[161] Paul requested on September 11 that Montana eliminate his name from the ballot,[162] stating that he did not "seek nor consent" to the Montana Constitution Party's nomination.[162]
He also suggested the Party list official Constitution Party nominee Baldwin on the Montana ballot instead.[162] Five days later the Montana Secretary of State denied Paul's request for withdrawal,[163] stating that the request was sent to them too late. On September 4, 2008, a list of electors in Louisiana using the name "Louisiana Taxpayers Party" filed papers and paid $500[164] with the Secretary of State's Office.[164] They are pledged to Paul for President and Barry Goldwater, Jr. for Vice President.[164]
The same day, Paul's staff released a brief press statement: "On the heels of his historic three-day rally in Minneapolis that drew over 12,000 attendees, Congressman Ron Paul will make a major announcement next week in Washington at the National Press Club."[165] The congressman had reportedly invited presidential candidates Chuck Baldwin, Bob Barr, Cynthia McKinney, and Ralph Nader to the press conference, causing some people to speculate that they would endorse Paul campaigning for president on the ticket of either the Constitution, Libertarian or other third party.[165][166]
On September 10, 2008, Paul confirmed his "open endorsement" (CNN) for the four candidates at a press conference in Washington D.C.[167] He also revealed that he had rejected a request for an endorsement of John McCain.[168][169] He later appeared on CNN's The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer with Nader where they presented and briefly described the four principles that all the independent candidates had agreed on as the most important issues of the presidential campaign.[170]
On September 22, 2008, in response to a written statement by Bob Barr, Paul abandoned his former neutral stance and announced his endorsement of Chuck Baldwin in the 2008 presidential election.[171]
In the 2008 general election, Paul still received 41,905 votes despite not actively campaigning.[172][173] He was listed on the ballot in Montana as the Constitution Party candidate, and in Louisiana on the "Louisiana Taxpayers Party" ticket, and received write-in votes in California (17,006),[174] Pennsylvania (3,527), New Hampshire (1,092), and other states.
While exit polls indicate that he received write-in votes elsewhere, not only do many U.S. jurisdictions not require the counting or reporting of write-in votes, but some actually ban the counting or reporting of write-in votes.
2012 presidential campaign
Main article: Ron Paul presidential campaign, 2012
See also: Draft Ron Paul movement
Paul speaking in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Ron Paul is a candidate for the Republican Party nomination for President of the United States in the 2012 election.
Beginning during 2010 there was speculation among pundits and journalists regarding the prospect of Paul campaigning for president again during 2012.[175][176] When Paul's wife, Carol, was asked if he would campaign during 2012 her response was "If you would ask him now he would probably say 'no', but he did say... things are happening so quickly and fast in our country, if we're at a crisis period and they need someone... with the knowledge he has... then he would do it."[177]
On February 26, 2009, Ron Paul was a major speaker at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, D.C., speaking for 20 minutes on topics including monetary theory and policy in the United States, in addition to the War in Iraq, and international foreign policy.[178] Paul's Campaign for Liberty sent 140 volunteers to CPAC 2009 to distribute materials, and significantly increased that number the next year.[179]
In the 2009 CPAC Straw Poll for the 2012 presidential election, Paul tied 2008 GOP Vice-Presidential candidate Sarah Palin for third place with 13% of the vote, behind fellow former candidate Mitt Romney and Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal.[180] In the 2010 CPAC straw poll, he scored first, decisively winning with 31%, followed distantly by Mitt Romney, Sarah Palin, and Tim Pawlenty of Minnesota, among others. In the 2010 Southern Republican Leadership Conference straw poll, Paul finished second place with 24% of the vote (438 votes), behind only Mitt Romney (with 439 votes). An April 2010 Rasmussen poll among likely voters found that Ron Paul and President Obama were statistically tied in a hypothetical 2012 presidential election.[181][182][183]
Paul won several early straw polls[184] and began raising funds for an exploratory committee.[185] In mid-April, 2011, Paul announced the formation of a "testing-the-waters" account, and stated that he will make a decision on whether to enter the campaign officially no later than May.[186][187] In late April, he formed an official exploratory committee to campaign for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination.[188][189] He participated with the first Republican presidential debate on May 5, 2011.[190] and on May 13, 2011, Paul formally announced his candidacy in an interview on ABC's Good Morning America.[191] He placed second in the 2011 Ames Straw Poll, missing first by 0.9%.[192]
An August scientific poll of likely voters across the political spectrum by Rasmussen Reports held a contest between Paul and Barack Obama, in which the two were "almost dead even." Obama led Paul by one percentage point at 39% to 38% – a significantly smaller margin than July (41% – 37%).[193] Paul moved up to 3rd in a late-August poll of likely Republican primary voters, trailing Rick Perry and Mitt Romney and passing Michele Bachmann,[194] climbing from fourth to third position.[195]
Ron Paul came in third in the Iowa Republican Caucus held on Jan 03, 2012, with 26,219 votes or 21.4% of the total. Mitt Romney finished first with 30,015 (24.6%) and Rick Santorum placed second with 30,007 ballots (24.5%). [196]
Political positions
Main article: Political positions of Ron Paul
Paul at the 2007 National Right to Life Committee Convention in Kansas City, Missouri, June 15, 2007.
Paul has been described as conservative, Constitutionalist, and libertarian.[8] According to University of Georgia political scientist Keith Poole, Paul had the most conservative voting record of any member of Congress since 1937.[197] He has been nicknamed "Dr. No",[19] representing both his medical degree and his insistence that he will "never vote for legislation unless the proposed measure is expressly authorized by the Constitution",[30] and "Mr. Republican".[198]
One scoring method published in the American Journal of Political Science[199] found Paul the most conservative of all 3,320 members of Congress from 1937 to 2002.[200] Paul's foreign policy of nonintervention[201] made him the only 2008 Republican presidential candidate to have voted against the Iraq War Resolution in 2002. He advocates withdrawal from the United Nations, and from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, for reasons of maintaining strong national sovereignty.[202]
He endorses free trade, rejecting membership in the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and the World Trade Organization as "managed trade". He endorses increased border security and opposes welfare for illegal aliens, birthright citizenship and amnesty;[203] he voted for the Secure Fence Act of 2006. He voted for the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Terrorists in response to the September 11 attacks, but suggested war alternatives such as authorizing the president to grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal targeting specific terrorists. An opponent of the Iraq War and potential war with Iran, he has also criticized neoconservatism and U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East, arguing that both inadvertently cause terrorist reprisals against Americans. Paul has stated that "Israel is our close friend" and that it is not the place of the United States to "dictate how Israel runs her affairs".[204]
Paul is a proponent of Austrian School economics; he has authored six books on the subject, and displays pictures of Austrian School economists Friedrich Hayek, Murray Rothbard, and Ludwig von Mises (as well as of Grover Cleveland)[84] on his office wall. He regularly votes against almost all proposals for new government spending, initiatives, or taxes;[66] he cast two thirds of all the lone negative votes in the House during a 1995–1997 period.[19]
He has pledged never to raise taxes[205] and states he has never voted to approve a budget deficit. Paul believes that the country could abolish the individual income tax by scaling back federal spending to its fiscal year 2000 levels;[89][206] financing government operations would be primarily by excise taxes and non-protectionist tariffs. He endorses eliminating most federal government agencies, terming them unnecessary bureaucracies. Paul has a consistent record as an inflation hawk[dead link], having warned of the threat of hyperinflation as far back as 1981.[207]
While Paul believes the longterm decrease of the U.S. dollar's purchasing power by inflation is attributable to its lack of any commodity backing, he does not endorse a "return" to a gold standard – as the U.S. government has established during the past – but instead prefers to eliminate legal tender laws and to remove the sales tax on gold and silver, so that the market may freely decide what type of monetary standard(s) there shall be.[208] He also advocates gradual elimination of the Federal Reserve System.[209]
Paul endorses constitutional rights, such as the right to keep and bear arms, and habeas corpus for political detainees. He opposes the Patriot Act, federal use of torture, presidential autonomy, a national identification card, warrantless domestic surveillance, and the draft. Citing the Ninth and Tenth Amendments, Paul advocates states' rights to decide how to regulate social matters not cited directly by the Constitution. Paul terms himself "strongly pro-life",[210] "an unshakable foe of abortion",[211] and believes regulation or ban[212] on medical decisions about maternal or fetal health is "best handled at the state level".[213][214]
He says his years as an obstetrician led him to believe life begins at conception;[215] his abortion-related legislation, like the Sanctity of Life Act, is intended to negate Roe v. Wade and to get "the federal government completely out of the business of regulating state matters."[216] Paul also believes that the notion of the separation of church and state is currently misused by the court system: "In case after case, the Supreme Court has used the infamous 'separation of church and state' metaphor to uphold court decisions that allow the federal government to intrude upon and deprive citizens of their religious liberty."[217]
He opposes federal regulation of the death penalty[213] (although he opposes capital punishment),[218] of education,[219] and of marriage, and endorsed revising the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy to concern mainly disruptive sexual behavior (whether heterosexual or homosexual).[220] As a free-market environmentalist, he asserts private property rights in relation to environmental protection and pollution prevention.[citation needed]
He called Global Warming a hoax in a 2009 Fox Business interview, saying, "You know, the greatest hoax I think that has been around in many, many years if not hundreds of years has been this hoax on the environment and global warming."[221]
He also opposes the federal War on Drugs,[222] and believes the states should decide whether to regulate or deregulate drugs such as medical marijuana.[223] Paul pushes to eliminate federal involvement with and management of health care, which he argues would allow prices to decrease due to the fundamental dynamics of a free market.[224]
Referring to the federal government, Ron Paul has also stated that "The government shouldn't be in the medical business." He is also opposed to federal government influenza inoculation programs.[225] He is an outspoken proponent for increased ballot access for 3rd party candidates and numerous election law reforms which he believes would allow more voter control.[226]
Paul was critical of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, arguing that it sanctioned federal interference in the labor market and did not improve race relations. He once remarked: "The Civil Rights Act of 1964 not only violated the Constitution and reduced individual liberty; it also failed to achieve its stated goals of promoting racial harmony and a color-blind society".[227] Paul opposes affirmative action.[228]
On April 15, 2011, Paul was one of four Republican members of Congress to vote against "The Path to Prosperity".[229]
Personal life
Paul has been married to Carol Wells since 1957.[230] They have five children, who were baptized Episcopalian:[8]
Ronald, Lori, Randal, Robert, and Joy.
Paul's son Randal is the junior United States senator from the state of Kentucky.
Raised a Lutheran, Paul later became a church-going Baptist.[231]
