Hey guys, can you tell me why you support(ed) Ron Paul?

[ronpaulblogsdotcom]

I support him because he stands for change.


Sorry I couldn't resist.

Because Ron Paul was the only one that would leave me the hell alone

Rare to find any politician who actually votes based upon his principled beliefs.

The fact that his constituents actually kept him office over the years is pretty astonishing, given that the US is significantly socialist in its actual governmental practices.

The things Dr. Paul speaks of allows for us to be the freest people with the most protection.

I for one am very proud of our nation and its roots and what it stood for because my ancestors fought in ever declared war since the battle for freedom. My relative Francis Scott Key wrote the star spangled banner while another ancestor General James fought at the battle of north point and died at the same time Francis Scott Key was writing the poem. There is a statue of James in Baltimore Maryland. (His father William was also a general but I don't know if he fought or not during this time.)

So if you ask me, Ron Paul represents what America was and supposed to be. My ancestors fought for it, I believe in it, and I'll be damned if others change it.

In the primaries, I am ashamed to say, I voted for someone else. That person put on a false front, and fooled a lot of christians. I hadn't heard hardly anything about Ron Paul, at that time. Then after the primaries were over here in my state, I found out the truth about the candidate I voted for. I was very upset at being duped like that. It made me determined to look closely at all the candidates, and also check their voting history in order to see what they really stood for.

Ron Paul was the only one who came up impeccable, and consistently truthful. I started reading and searching for more info on him, the more I searched the more I knew he was the one I wanted for my next president. Then I decided to get involved and became a delegate-seeing what I saw firsthand at the meetings and conventions, made me know things were in far worse shape than I suspected. In the few debates I saw of him, I felt he outshone all the other candidates from both parties. I have come to love Ron Paul for what he stands for.

I was able to meet him in person at the rally before our convention, and was impressed all over again, because he took out time to come, (he attended 2 rallies that day) and the candidate presumed to be nominated never showed at all. Getting to meet him and shake his hand was the best part of everything. He doesn't place himself above us, but instead one of us-I think that is the real reason everyone loves him. I saw him reach out and hug a little preschooler in close for a family photo, he did it so naturally -it touched my heart.

He doesn't put on any airs or anything, he is real, genuine, and stands for truth and honor. That is what our country is starved to death for-we are sick of voting for people we do not believe in-most of all I love Ron Paul for completely opening my eyes to the truth. God bless Ron Paul, he has inspired me more than any other political candidate, ever, in my whole life. ( and I'm not so young)

I supported him because he wanted to abolish the Federal Reserve, give the power back to congress, have some kind of commodity backed currency.

He also wanted to abolish the Un-Constitutional Income Tax and replace it with nothing!

Because I believe in the philosophy of liberty, and almost every belief Dr. Paul has stems from the very same.

I seek to live my life by my own standards, be able to keep what I earn and actually own something.

To know that the government currently owns my life and my property is very disheartening. It's a feeling I'd like to shake off. I know that if elected, Dr. Paul would do all in his power to make that possible.

Well said... I feel very much the same way.

Charisma of course, plain and simple, what else!

Let me act a little like an Obama support.....

"Why do you like Ron Paul?"
"His policies."
"Which one in particular?"
"All of them."

Unlike an Obama supporter I can actually name Ron Paul policies but I just love them all.

We can name each policy we agree with and derive their philosophical justification through reason, as well as provide evidence for their real-world efficacy.

We have reason on our side, and that is why Ron Paul has my support.

The first thing that attracted me to Dr Paul as a candidate was the fact that he was against the war. I always knew the war was wrong and the word LIAR came to me as I watched GWB speaking about it....

After I signed up for meetup, the organizer gave me a DVD informing about the NAU. I got all fired up then...because I was mad about it. I'm a truther so everything had come to me at that moment...my beliefs that the NWO used 911 and Iraq to destroy civil liberties and sovereignty. I couldn't stand the thought of losing my country as we know it.

Then it became personal for me because I have two sons...one being less than 5 years of having to register for service. I don't want them fighting a senseless war. I who can be very unemotional, can cry when I think about our soldiers out there the ones who signed up because they thought they were defending our freedoms. It ticks me off to no end.

Hey guys, can you tell me why you support(ed) Ron Paul?

Enlightened Self Interest.
I had some personal experiences that led me to start researching my rights( or lack thereof) and Ron Paul's name came up.
I was learning of some of his proposed bills when he started exploring a run. As I learned his positions and history of defending the Constitution, he became the only choice.
I want my rights back.
I want the country (that I was taught about as a child) back.
None of the others offer this.

Your original vote has got to be the Huckster, correct? It was Chuck Norris that pulled you to him. Don't lie.
