In looking back into my short-lived political career, I found that I first joined the Libertarian Party in 1980 and ran for the local town board (as a Libertarian) in 1981.
I lost, but what I also stumbled across was a contribution to the "Ron Paul for US Senate Committee" in February 1984, which kind of surprised me. I hadn't realized Ron and I went back that far, if such can be said of a measly $15 contribution.
He lost the Republican primary to Phil Gramm, and the seat he vacated in the US House of Representatives from Texas's 22nd Congressional District was filled by one Tom DeLay. If only he'd run for re-election...
BTW, Ron Paul is scheduled to appear on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno next Tuesday night. As Johnny Carson would say, "Well, that's just wild."
