"This guy seems like a 3rd party/libertarian dream? Hes already a Congressman from Texas and seems credible. Whats holding him back, or whats holding his own party leadership, or the libertarians from pushing him for a Presidential candidate?"

Precisely because he is honest, there is no money to be made in promoting his candidacy. Remember the basic precepts of all political, indeed, all human, organizations:

1. Bucks for buddies.
2. Special rules for special people.
3. All the goodies go to the top.

If you want to be Prez, regardless of party affiliation, you have to sell out to the big money boyz who will finance you. Just the way it is.
