Is Ron Paul "Diminutive"?

I'm 5'9" on the right. You can see how he compares in my avatar picture.

I've been photographed next to him twice. In both pics, the top of my head is level with the center of his forehead. I'm 5'8 so he's got to be 6'.

You are leaning toward him, that has to subtract from the appearance of your height, maybe an inch, because the top of your head is about where mine is with both me and RP standing straight, and I'm 5'8". This has to be the first time I've ever heard of a man who's taller than me being called "diminutive". I am fairly tall for a female, and he is significantly taller than I am.

ya ron is like 6' but he stoops a bit from bending down to llisten to little guy for 40 years ... also his hands are pretty big makes his frame seem smaller

I stood next to him and I'm 5'10" and he seemed to tower over me.

He seems much taller when you meet him and does look much smaller in the debates and on tv for some reason. I'm about 5'11" and 215 lbs. I don't remember anyone ever calling me diminutive.

Something I've noticed this week in a bunch of articles, the seem to be adding the term "Diminutive Texas Congressman", kind of like they used to say quixotic in the past.

I thought he was over 6 ft? Is he smaller than I thought?

He might be physically nonthreatening, and even diminuitive, whatever the media wants that to associate...

But spiritually, mentally, intellectually, medically, historically, ethically, and politically... Dr. Paul is a GodBlessed Giant.

 

[Omnica]

After 77 years of gravity, the physical frame shrinks slightly downward.

He is flesh and blood human in a mortal coil like all of us, except the RPF mod team. His body will eventually disappear.

Yet the spiritual fame of his deeds will only grow UPWARD. His actions are immortal.

Thank you Dr. Paul for inspiring me from the bottom of my 27 yr old heart.

looks like Ron works out, I seen him riding a mountain bike, all this is good for his press, no bad images there, and anyone with a positive attitude like him will always see bs part before him.

Looks like he's about 6 foot. Nice height

A guy who ran the 100 yard dash in 9.7 seconds, was the state champion in the 220 yard dash, and the only one to hit a home run during the annual Congressional baseball game... hardly diminutive.

76 is nearly 80?

Well, he's not nearly 60.
