A physician and twelve-term congressman from Texas, the libertarian maverick has launched his third campaign for the office of president.

The Associated Press reports that Republican Ron Paul had his son verbally attack Rick Santorum, advancing a trend of using candidate family members as presidential campaign surrogates.

Rand Paul was the surprise guest at his father's kickoff event in New Hampshire Friday. The Kentucky senator complained about excess spending by both parties in Washington and noted that "a guy who did pretty well in Iowa" with the initials "RS" had voted to support the Department of Education and foreign aid while in the Senate.

 

Meanwhile, KRNV and MyNews4.com are reporting that Ron Paul has picked up the backing of the famous Bunny Ranch in Nevada.

“He knows what women's wants and women's needs are. And when it comes to a man that's going to be in the office, you want a man that knows his way around a woman,” Worker Ara Rose said.

The brothel is doing more than just endorsing; they're also fundraising for the Paul campaign by asking patrons for donations on their way out.

Why , even in this article, I detect the media ( the author is responsible) is trying to demonize Ron Paul. It was obvious in Iowa-the media and the BIG MONEY supported Romney and Santorum that talked b.s. while demonizing Ron Paul with viscious attacks in articles and TV. The real problems and issues facing America are neglected because Ron Paul is not allowed by the media to spread his message. Instead, we have name calling and immature behaviour of the other candidates that top the news. What is Democratic about that ? Big money is being spent thanks to the Supreme Court decision ( they are in the pocket of 1% ) to keep us in endless wars, to have open borders, to keep importing slave labor products that are killing American jobs and the Romneys, Santorums will keep things just the same . If not, Obama will do it-serve the 1%. Ron Paul is the best candidate for president and he scares the selfish, unAmerican big money people. Ron Paul 2012 !

It's time to elect a President who will give the rights promised in the Constitution to it's citizens. Stop the endless erosion of personal freedoms. Stop the special interests ie big money from running our country. Return personal responsibility and the rights that go with them to us. Stop the endless government expansion, spending, taxing. Ron Paul is the only hope this election year for the average Joe.
