My apologies. You are correct. Ron Paul ran for President on the Libertarian Party in 1988, not 1984. Ron Paul bolted the Republican Party shortly befroe Ronald Reagan's 8 years expired to join the Libertarian Party, according to Congressopdeia [http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Ron_Paul#Political_career], as a "lifetime member" shortly before the 1988 elections.

It appears Ron Paul did not wait for the "twelve years of neglect" as Bill Clinton observed, but was one of the first to abandoned the GOP after only seven or seven and half years of neglect.
