Ah yes you're right, he wasn't a Democrat, must have just misread/misunderstood that about him. And yeah I know Ron Paul's economic views are likely to be popular among those who fear "big Government" but some of the stuff he says on foreign policy is almost quite radical, he thinks Iran should be allowed the bomb, he blames America for poor relations with the Muslims world etc. not the sort of stuff you'd expect to be coming out the mouths of most Republicans
