"You've got to admire an individual who, despite the currents of the time -- polling data -- says what he believes in and sticks to it. Ron Paul does that," said Rep. Mo Brooks, R-Alabama, who has served with Paul for years.
"The public understands we have too many Monty Halls and Bob Barkers wanting to make a deal or 'the price is right' in Washington, D.C., and they're yearning for leadership -- people who take a position and stick to it," Brooks said."
Rep. Kevin Brady, Paul's fellow Texan, said he disagrees with Paul on many issues but isn't surprised about his success in these tough economic times.
"He's been so consistent over the years. He feels very strongly about limited government, about personal responsibility and individual freedoms, and staying consistent has drawn a good, solid base for him in this presidential campaign," Brady said.
"I don't have any personal dislike for the man, but I will say to you that he has really been essentially totally ineffective in Congress," said Rep. Trent Franks, R-Arizona. Franks, who has endorsed Newt Gingrich, called Paul a "nonplayer" on Capitol Hill.
"That's why most of his supporters support him, but what they don't realize is that most of the things he puts forward are only for the consumption of the public," Franks said.

Wow... No wonder Congress has such low approval ratings.

That's just another biased Dana Bash hit job. You should see the the comments about her on her CNN Ron Paul YouTube videos. She's going to get more abuse for this article as well.
