Rep. Patrick McHenry of NC
From this thread:
I was at a meeting of the Gaston County GOP executive committee last night, and Patrick McHenry decided to pop in and give an impromptu speech. I had previously only known him as the one guy to have an earmark challenged and actually shot down in the House, and otherwise didn’t follow his career very closely.
During his speech, he started talking about the excitement of the nomination process this year, and went through all the normal spiel about the “Top tier” candidates … pretty much what I expected to hear. Then, out of nowhere, he started talking about Ron Paul, and he blew me away.
I wish I had recorded the speech, because it would have gone great on the acclaim page at RP’s site, but the gist of it was that Ron Paul stands for what Republicans SHOULD stand for. He noted that many Republicans feel that the RP movement is an invasion by libertarians, but that they are incorrect, and that we are helping to bring the party back to where it ought to be. I was hoping for an endorsement, which didn’t come, but it is obvious that he really has a lot of respect for Dr. Paul and the revolution!
Considering we don’t have a single endorsement from Congress, I wanted to share this with the board. Looks like we have a friend in Patrick McHenry!

Listen, I doubt if Ron Paul wants patty to support him.
Pat has got serious problems.
Google him.
Thanks, I’ll have to do some research.
Ya google Pat Buchanan. He actually stands for something unlike the majority of the party. He has always let his opinion be known on Free Trade, Immigration to the dislike of the coward conformists. Because of this he has been slandered as a racist and a Religous Zealot. He stood by hippies, new agers, all walks of life and protested the WTO and police state. He is a Patriot. Him and Dr. Paul are great allies.
[…] did not openly sponsor any candidate, though he did support Ron Paul for a spell, though he never admitted it through his website or any speeches. All the comment did was serve to […]
