Vince Vaughn "Impressed" By Ron Paul

Vince Vaughn introduced Ron Paul at the Liberty Political Action Conference in Reno on Friday, calling the GOP presidential candidate a politician whose philosophies "do not waver based on polls or public opinion."

While President Obama is bound to capture the lion's share of celebrity endorsements, Paul's libertarian stances have at least been intriguing to a handful of Hollywood figures, including Barry Manilow and (presumably) Drew Carey. Each contributed to Paul's 2008 campaign, and have indicated their support this time around. Carey recently lamented the lack of media coverage of Paul's candidacy.

Vaughn said he was "impressed" by Paul's attacks on the Fed and "his willingness to get out and keep beating that drum."

"We are all very lucky to have a voice like his out there," Vaughn said.
