His money is coming from THE LEFT, desperate to make Republicans look bad, and most definately from STORMFRONT...

I live in Santa Barbara County in California and Ron Paul support is BIG on college campuses. Ron Paul is a modern day RFK. My kids are young adults and Ron Paul is the most popular candidate with their friends, most of whom have a natural left bent. These kids know that there is no difference between Republicans and Democrats.

I could support Ron Paul EXCEPT for his position on the WOT. These kids are fired up. There is tremendous passion for his candidacy. No one else running has that.

I am seeing the same thing at the swamp in Gainesville, Florida.
The kids are passionate about Paul...sometimes embarrassingly so.

You got that right. LOL. I'd forgotten what being in your twenties was like. Not the gentle hills of middle age but the mountains and cliffs and valleys of youth.

They're great kids. And when I look around the various Ron Paul forums, I've yet to find a single pro-Hitlery poster. They don't like and don't want the Xlintons. In fact, one of them a couple of days back posted a bit on "CRUSH THAT BITCH!". Now, normally, I disapprove of such posts (only a little) but it inspired me to make an even more assertive post with the same kind of language here at FR today (mine included words like "die, already, lying, commie..."). It only survived the mods for 10 minutes. LOL.

Those kids are great, no matter what some loser Paul-hater thread trolls on FR say about them. I think serious Republicans had better start to think about a new crop of Republicans because the RNC/Bush/Rove/etc. have run our name brand right into the ground.

We'd better find something exciting for 2008 or you might as well start typing "President Hillary". Me, I think it would be a lot less grating to type "President Paul" instead, no matter your views on foreign policy and Iraq.

The same is true of my son except that he goes to Texas A & M and is libertarian and largely conservative. He has given 100s of his own hard earned dollars to the campaign, and cannot wait to get to get our and campaign.

If the Republican party continues to seek to destroy Ron Paul to the point of running an opponent in his congressional campaign, it will bitterly alienate a generation of young people.
