It would be hard to argue that any single member of the House has a larger influence outside the institution of Congress — or displays a greater fidelity to his stated principles — than Ron Paul of Texas. And as God is our witness, he is a force for good. This realization has been a long time coming. When Paul was on his first tour of Congress in the mid-1980s, he was regarded as by far the most conservative member of the Texas delegation and perhaps the most right-wing member of Congress. Back then, he was a wild-eyed one-note John Brown, inveighing against the evils of the Fed and preaching return to a currency based on gold. Half the time, people mistook him for a LaRouchian. With such determined eccentricity, you're bound to attract flaky allies, and Paul certainly did. But he held firm to his core of the purest libertarianism in the Congress, and it has taken exploding debt, many foreign entanglements, a pointless drug war, government invasions of privacy, and out-of-control Pentagon budgets and entitlements for the rest of the country to finally catch up to Ron Paul.

:cool:

What a load of Crap..Gesus, Judd Gregg is ranked #2, Barney Frank #7?

WTF, this crone corporatist is the FEDERAL RESERVES Shill same for Frank... we are still all waiting to see where Gregg lands after he retires from the Senate in January 2011. We already know how Frank conspired to destroyed the economy and on the hook for $100's of Billions... besides all our other losses.

My bet, Financial Institution.
