What the... I'm actually LIKING this guy?! O_O

I support him. He is the only one that could actually change the country fiscally. We know what Obama is like and all the other Republican candidates just plain suck. Plus the whole "individual liberty" thing of libertarianism is pretty darn epic. He is incredibly popular with younger folks like me. If I was 18, he'd get my vote.

I'd vote for him just because he looks like Gandalf.

If you really pay attention to Ron Paul though, he isn't that great. He's what you would say is a "front page" candidate. One that looks good on the surface, but go deeper into it and it's really ugly and something awful.

For example: http://campaignstops.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/12/29/ron-pauls-world/

I like him because he's willing to say what he actually believes, even if it makes him sound crazy at times. It's refreshing.

@Sirstopp, that's just a liberal smear article created by those that are afraid that Ron could become the next President instead of Barack "Do Nothing I Promised" Obama (and since it's the New York Times it has a lot of Zionist propaganda in it as well) and Ron gets attacks from both sides Fox News too because he doesn't support the Conservatives' policies of warmongering and handing Israel tons of money to buy weapons.

The truth of the matter though is Israel is not the United States' 51 state and if you dig into the Israeli - Palestinian conflict, you discover that it is quite a bit different than the officially sanctioned "Cowboys and Outlaws" version which has Israel being the pure as snow white hats and The Palestinians being the thoroughly vile black hats.

@Boutros I think he is very Gandalfian as well.

As for the Ron Paul newsletters, watch these two:

Okay, I'm getting a good laugh at your post.

That NY Times BLOG REEKS of bias. I don't even care to read the whole thing because it seems like the blogger was putting his own spin on events... -_-
