Why ... ? I think everybody already knows why ...

Because he is the ONLY one who will actually really change things in Washington. If you elect any of the others, it will be either a continuation of Bush 2.0, or Bush 3.0 ...

Paul is the ONLY proven constitutionalists and anti-war candidate.

Paul is the ONLY candidate that will end not only the wars and interventions of our government around the world but also the drug war and its disastrous effects on our lives here in America and abroad. Everybody with any brains and knowledge of the subject knows that prohibition leads to black markets and massive increases in crime of every kind, its time to stop the madness and end the war on drugs ...

He is the ONLY candidate that has proven his desire to expose the corruption in the government and especially in the banking institutions.

He is the ONLY candidate who will really go after the federal reserve and you can GUARANTEE his chairman of the fed. and his sec. of treasury would not be banskster and wall street insiders.

Paul is the ONLY candidate that will use the powers of president to restore our rights and to repeal the bogus free trade agreements and security bills such as the patriot act. You can rest assured that his nominations to the supreme court would be strict constitutionalists themselves.


These are just a few of the reasons why, but the list goes on and on and on and on ... You get the point, right? ... Good ...



Peace!

Ron Paul. He is fiscally conservative and socially moderate. And, best of all, he has NO baggage, and has been the only one who kept his beliefs consistent.

You can't put Obama in a poll against the full GOP field ... Obama will only face one GOP candidate. People will split the vote across the GOP field so Obama will artificially show a higher poll number unless you add up all the GOP votes and compare to Obama.

I would vote for WHOEVER is the republican nominee to include Ron Paul... I believe we are on the wrong coarse and need to redirect. Irrespective of who the republican nominee is, I will have to hold my nose when I vote.

Paul like most libertarians are not conservative nor liberal fiscally. He has some views that are hard right with others that are hard left. Paul also stands for freedom socially just like those that are liberal, making him quite liberal socially.

He doesn't think it is the Federal governments role to use force on people in the name of social reform. It is the role of society.

Vote conscience imo. Whichever candidate suits your needs. Party doesn't matter.
But you have to register Republican to vote for Ron Paul in the primary.

He is not the only one. He may be the only well known candidate, but not the only one.
