Ron Paul is a media made phenomenon.

Because there is quite a large number of the Republican Party members that are domestically libertarian and even if not outright isolationist are very disturbed with our continual international intervention. While other candidates talk about limiting the growth of government, or even cutting a department or two (heard it before and watched their budgets balloon even more), Ron Paul talks about cutting a trillion dollars out of the budget next year.

Just punks from any party that want legalized drugs.

You’d have to be on drugs to want Ron Paul in the first place.

GOPers wonder why anyone pays attention to the bow-tied Tucker Carlson!

It’s easy to be the pure conservative (Bachmann or Santorum) or say the easy and popular stuff (Paul) when you know darn well that you don’t have to worry about ever being held accountable for it.

Everybody else actually has to consider the possible consequences of their positions knowing that someday they might have to implement or fight for what they promised they would fight for.

It’s an age old political game. If you’re going to have to implement your promises, you can say what you want to get the applause of the masses.

people are frustrated with both parties that dont really want to do anything.

Ron Paul is a guy disgusted by government and his disgust sounds real.

Maybe there are people in the Republican party that actually care about the erosion of Individual Liberty in this country, an idea that never gets talked about in the election cycle.

Tucker stop being a dumbass....

Paul is leading in Iowa because it’s a caucus state rather than a primary state

He is buying most of his votes and support though his paulbots

If he wins..... There is no wind in his sails to carry him in any other state
