What I respect most about Ron Paul, former U.S. Representative from Texas and presidential candidate for both the Libertarian Party and the Republican Party, is his honesty. He’s truly against big government from both an economic and a personal standpoint, like all classic libertarians or classic conservatives. In this video, he explains why he’s running for president for the Libertarian Party in 1988, to grow the size of the Libertarian Party and not to actually win the election but to bring publicity and new members to the LP.
