DR. RON PAUL, M.D. HERE IS A GREAT BRIEFING ON HIM AND WHAT HE STANDS FOR:
"Congressman Ron Paul, who first ran for the White House as a Libertarian in 1988, has earned a reputation as one of the more principled members of Congress through his advocacy of smaller government. His philosophy of nonintervention has guided his opposition to military action in Kosovo and Iraq, as well as his opposition to many social welfare programs.
Ron Paul earned his M.D. in 1961 before serving in the Air Force from 1963-1965. After his service, he set up an obstetrics/gynecology practice in Brazoria County, TX. In an early sign of his disdain for government spending, he refused to accept Medicare or Medicaid payments from his clients. He would instead treat them at a lower cost or set up extended payment plans. Later, when his children applied to college, he made sure they didn't have to rely on federal loans to pay for their education.
Congressman Paul is known as a strict Constitutionalist. If an appropriation is not authorized by the bedrock document, Paul will refuse to vote for it, political fallout notwithstanding. He has consistently opposed agricultural subsidies, yet his rural constituents have granted him five consecutive terms since 1996."

NO ONE who refers to themselves and their views as "progressive," as there's nothing truly progressive about them or their intentions at all. actually, they're quite backward. plus, it's a pretty pretentious and elitist label to give to oneself or one's group, which is exactly what they claim not to be.
