His blame-America foreign policies won’t be missed.*

(Ballot Box) — Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) said Tuesday that he won’t seek reelection in 2012.

Paul posted to his official Twitter account a message had he had “decided not to seek re-election to Congress,” along with a link to a website, The Facts, on which he explained his decision.

“I felt it was better that I concentrate on one election,” Paul told the Texas news outlet. “It’s about that time when I should change tactics.”

Paul hails from Texas’s 14th congressional district, a seat seen as heavily leaning toward Republicans. But his redrawn district, as proposed by Texas’s GOP-controlled legislature, made the new version of the district less favorable to Paul.
