Someone help me out. When did Ron Paul become a Republican?

When I lived in Texas, he was a Libertarian.

...Failing to get elected as a Libertarian Party presidential candidate, Rep. Ron Paul turned to the Republican Party to win Texas' 14th Congressional District...

I say, throw the bum out!

Paul orginally ran and won his CD seat as a Republican. He resigned after 6 yrs [self imposed term limit] and ran as the Libertarian Party Presidential candidate. After losing that he returned to the Republican party and ran again for the CD seat which he won and has held ever since. He runs as a Republican in order to have a chance at being elected is my opinion. Hopefully someone with enough district wide acceptance can unseat him in the primary this time around.
