I'm a very big Ron Paul supporter.

To all those who don't understand why he stands where he does on certain issues, I urge you to investigate his platform more..

Right, duh. Hes the only Republican thats is strongly against the war. Is that it? That doesn't explain why the young liberal crowds love him. Right right right, its bad to lump people together like that with no stats to prove, but common. You guys have to see that its true.

I think The "young liberals" whom you speak of are just people who are devotedly interested in finding out the truth, who just so happened to sway more to the democrat side after Bush managed to **** up so many things. Trust me, his message attracts people of many different backgrounds and voting records. And he does sway people who previously voted democrat into adopting a more libertarian/constitutionalist perspective.

Young people like him, because he is the only candidate of integrity who is offering real solutions to Americas problems. And thats just putting it in the most simple way I can.

What do manage to dislike about Paul anyways?
-If your truly following whats up with our economy, and how the federal reserve fits into the equation, you would know that we are in serious trouble. What other candidate even talks about the economy?
-What is there to not understand about his platform? Less federal government, more local representation, more individual freedom, less taxes. Just go read the constitution, and really think about why the founders set up our government they way the did, and you'll understand Ron Paul. Hes held the same values for the past thirty years, while the rest of the presidential nominees morph their message and accents according to whatever comforts the current town they are standing in. Their actors pretending to be anti-status quo, not leaders whom are actually concerned about the middle and lower classes.

Like who? And why?

His solutions being "easy to understand" has nothing to do with it, them being more intelligent and wise solutions compared to what the democrats and the other republicans are offering does.

2. He has the image of challenging the status quo. Young people like people who want to challenge the status quo.

Are you aware of how corrupt the status quo in Washington is? Of course we're anti status quo, and aware person would be.

3. He is authentic and guides his actions by principles instead of real politik.

What do you mean by "real" politik

4. He is 100% antiwar and antipariotic act.

Hooray!

Does he have a chance?

I don't care what his chances are, I stand behind the best candidate.
