I'd like to see some evidence of this wild claim. Nothing could be further from the truth here. Ron Paul is a Republican who is more associated with the Libertarian Party than he is with the Socialist Party. Anyone who believes that Ron Paul is a "closet socialist" either doesn't understand his ideology or the ideology of the LP.
Congressman Ron Paul Quote:
WHO IS RON PAUL?
Congressman Ron Paul of Texas enjoys a national reputation as the premier advocate for liberty in politics today. Dr. Paul is the leading spokesman in Washington for limited constitutional government, low taxes, free markets, and a return to sound monetary policies based on commodity-backed currency. He is known among both his colleagues in Congress and his constituents for his consistent voting record in the House of Representatives: Dr. Paul never votes for legislation unless the proposed measure is expressly authorized by the Constitution. In the words of former Treasury Secretary William Simon, Dr. Paul is the "one exception to the Gang of 535" on Capitol Hill

Free markets? Commodity backed currency? Hardly socialist platforms there, Yarn.
