Ron Paul, a US congressman from Texas, announced Friday a new run for the Republican presidential nomination for 2012, saying Americans are now ready for his libertarian ideas. It will be the third attempt for Paul, who ran as a Republican in 2008 but failed to win any primaries, and was the Libertarian Party candidate in 1988.
"Time has come around to the point where the people are agreeing with much of what I've been saying for 30 years. So, I think the time is right," Paul told the ABC program "Good Morning America."
