Question: How tall is Ron Paul?

[Laja]

I have a question that may sound inconsequential but does anyone know Ron Paul's height? I keep hearing him referred to as a tiny man. Could they be speaking about the fact that he is very trim?

(BTW, I'm new here. I've almost maxed out my contributions to Ron Paul. Just waiting til Dec 16th to donate the rest. I have to admit that I'm obsessed with Ron Paul. I've never felt this way about any political candidate. I've just spent every night of last week handwriting letters to Iowans about Ron Paul.)

I read early on (a Seattle story?) that he is 6' 0" tall -- not tiny at all. I've also seen him referred to as diminutive or slight, but he was clearly taller than McCain at the last debate, and no one calls him short. I think people get him confused with Kucinich.

I'm 6ft tall. he is standing right next to me...and he isn't standing up straight.
I would guess he is 6 - 6'1"

[liberatenyc]

Hey there. I'm obsessed too. It feels great though, so run with it.
I would guess 5' 11". I am 6' 1" and he was a little shorter when I shook his hand.

[kalami]

10 ft

[theswedishchef]

RON PAUL is seven feet tall!


Yes, I've heard. Kills men by the hundreds. And if HE were here, he'd consume the Neo-Cons with fireballs from his eyes, and bolts of lightning from his arse.

XD

[kill the banks]

10 ft


lol


kill the banks

[Midnight77]

He only looks about 5'9. That's my height.

[kylejack]

Tall enough to end the neo-con domination of our lives.

[pengieh]

10 ft

He was 6', but with the current devaluation of the inch....

[me3]

Tall enough to lead the freedom movement. :D

[philipsantamaria]

Legend has it that Ron Paul descended upon us, originally the size of a sky scraper.

He then used his mental fortitude to shrink himself down to regular human size.

...that's what they say anyway.

[Laja]

thanks to those who helped with the height question and I'm laughing at the other wonderful responses that show how big Ron Paul really is and how he shrunk himself down to human size. haha!

one of the reasons i was wondering, in addition to hearing him called tiny, is because there's a photo of him with his wife on www.dailypaul.com and as i was looking at their picture, thinking RP was like 5'4" or something like that, i was marveling at how completely diminutive his wife would have to be. maybe 4'5" or something like that. LOL

This is true. But even though he just willed it to be so, he still couldn't go beyond the infamous 6' 1" barrier.

[Buzz]

I've stood next to him and I'd estimate 5'10 - 6'0, but it's hard to tell because he slouches slightly (not unusual for a man his age).

She is really short. I think she is maybe around 4'11", something like that. Great lady.

[FreedomLover]

I'm sure when he was younger he was probably above 6 feet.

[Kingfisher]

Head and Shoulders above the rest!

[10thAmendmentMan]

10 ft

And he can consume the neocons with fireballs from his eyes and bolts of lightning from his arse.

[Perry]

10 ft

Actually I think he is at LEAST 14ft tall.

[OptionsTrader]

Considering what he was capable of on the farm as a toddler at a height of 2 feet, I shudder to think what he can do 3 times taller.

...
Ron was a track star in high school, winning state as a junior in the 220-yard dash and 2nd in the 440. He ran the 100 in 9.8, and that was pretty fast for the early 1950s. He was also on the wrestling team. He was president of the student council and an honor student while working and participating in sports.

A serious knee injury took him out of major track (he beat one young man that went to the Olympics), but added swimming for therapy and he soon became a member of the college swim team. He was offered a full college scholarship to run track but did not accept it, feeling he might not be able to regain his speed. To this day he exercises with bicycle riding, walking, and swimming, and feels lucky that he can do these sports.

I met him at American University, he is between 5'10 and 6'0.

Ron Paul: "Sons of Freedom, I am Ron Paul"

RP Supporter: "Ron Paul is 7 feet tall"

Ron Paul: "Yes, I've heard. He kills globalists by the hundreds, and if he were here he'd consume the Neocons with fireballs from his eyes and bolts of lightning from his ass. I am Ron Paul, and I see before me an army of my countrymen here in defiance of tyranny. You have come to fight as free men, and free men you are. What would you do without freedom? Will you fight?"

RP Supporter: "Fight against the Necons? No, we will run, and we will live."

Ron Paul: "Ay, fight and you may die, run and you'll live. At least a while. And dying in your beds many years from now, would you be willing to trade all the days from this day to that for one chance, just one chance to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take OUR FREEDOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

[amberj]

Probably around 5'10" or so. He's a couple inches taller than me (judging from photos with and without heels on) and I'm just under 5'8"





Edit: I'm the one with heels, not Ron Paul.:)

[DirtMcGirt]

7 feet tall and shoots fireballs out his ass...

[jcoenen]

Surprised more people have not done Braveheart spoofs in support of Ron Paul.....so many crossovers

[aknappjr]

Taller than Paul Bunyan and he chops down statists by the dozen.

[PRIEST]

Shrinking in the physical world, GROWING in the spiritual!

[bgoldwater]

He needs to learn how to stand up straight. He humps over.

[Adamsa]

Ron Paul was last seen on a tall building with a woman in one hand smashing aeroplanes and shouting something about taxes.

[user]

I wonder if he's seen V for Vendetta yet.

[unconsious767]

He has more real hair on his head than chuck norris !

[Buzz]

Actually I think he is at LEAST 14ft tall.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure everyone here is confusing feet with meters or something.

[Convert]

Welcome Laja.

To borrow an old CB phrase, he's wall to wall and tree top tall. ;)

[BlueGecko]

Over 11 feet tall considering he stands on the shoulders of giants ( Jefferson, Adams, Washington)

[CelestialRender]

RON PAUL is seven feet tall!



XD

ROFL. Glad to see I'm not the only one who caught that broadcast today. ; )

[Furis]

Im 6'1" when I met him I would put him 3" shorter than me, so, 5'10"

[Drknows]

I'm not sure but I've heard he Kills men by the hundreds. And if HE were here, he'd consume the English with fireballs from his eyes, and bolts of lightning from his arse.

[Birdlady]

Over NINE THOUSAND!!... I just had to :p
