First, Ron Paul did not self-limit himself to X number of terms in office (although he does support establishing a rule for term limits).
I didn't think to bring up Ron's loss in the primary for the U.S. Senate in 1984, to Phil Gramm. Not many people have beaten Phil Gramm at anything.
With regard to running for President as the candidate of the L.P. in 1988, the Libertarians have not done half as well as he did, since then.
But, I suppose you think the deficit spending of President George H.W. Bush was a good thing, and that we should all support whoever is the President as long as he's a Republican.
In history, there has only been one other person who has run for President as a candidate of a minor party and was subsequently elected to the U.S. Congress as a candidate of a major party. That other person was Strom Thurmond.
I appreciate your civil comments in defense of your candidate.
