Background on Ron Paul
I find myself getting more and more excited by the prospect of the Paul candidacy. I thought this video, from his 1996 Congressional campaign and not widely distributed, is particularly interesting because it reveals details of his family life. Of the four top-funded candidates (Romney, Thompson, Guiliani, and Paul), he’s the only one who’s not either a pro-choice Mormon or an adulterer. And besides those negative qualifications, he’s also the most conservative candidate.

The Ballad of Ron Paul
There was a country doctor, and Ron Paul was his name
He lived down south of Houston, here’s how he came to fame.
He left his farm and practice, he left his family.
And, he went up north to Congress, to fight for you and me.
Well, the year was’76 my friend, and our country wasn’t free
Ron Paul went off to Congress to fight for liberty
Ron diagnosed the country and said it’s not too late
But Uncle Sam, you’re just too fat,
You’ve got to lose some weight
He wrote out the prescription, painful but it’s true
We’ll start by cutting out the waste, and we’ll trim the taxes too.
Well, the year was ‘76 my friend, and our country wasn’t free
Ron Paul went off to Congress to fight for liberty
The years have come and gone now, and look at Doctor Paul
He won’t give up the battle til Uncle Sam is small
But those pork barrels keep on rolling, big spenders have their spree
We some more like Ron Paul in order to be free
Well, the year is 2008, and we’re trying to stay free
Put Ron Paul in the White House to fight for liberty.

My wife and I just sent the maximum (unconstitutionally limited) contribution to Ron Paul. I haven’t been this excited by a political candidate in 15 years.
