I guess it makes sense for Ron Paul to retire after this year. I trust the people of his area of Texas have the common sense and values to find and elect a like-minded Constitutionalist .. and that at least one intelligent, ethical person will come forward from that district.

The situation in the US is rapidly coming to a head. I don't know precisely Ron Paul's thinking, and everyone deserves to retire sometime, but he is clearly aware that the era of kicking the can down the road is coming to an end.


I have come to realize that men are not born to be free. Liberty is a need felt by a small class of people whom nature has endowed with nobler minds than the mass of men. -Napoleon

Ron Paul won't seek reelection in 2012
By Brian Montopoli Topics Campaign 2012 .

Libertarian-leaning Texas Republican Rep. Ron Paul, who is currently running for president, announced Tuesday that he will not seek reelection next year. That means if his long-shot bid for the White House falls short, the 75-year-old lawmaker will be out of elective office after 12 terms in Congress.

Paul announced his decision on Twitter with a link to a story in a local newspaper called The Facts. He told paper that "I felt it was better that I concentrate on one election," adding that it was time to "change tactics." The comment was presumably in reference to his past failed presidential runs, including a 2008 Republican primary bid and a 1988 run on the libertarian ticket. Paul has been criticized in the past for running for two offices at the same time.
