Although you make a few good points about what 'young people' are looking for, you miss all the massive negatives about Ron Paul's dangerous foreign policy (remember, the 'young people' you refer to are the ones in our military who have been sacrificing their lives and freedom to fight Islamic terrorism - your claim that they care more about 'losing freedoms' than the danger of terrorism isn't valid, IMO).
The fact that Ron Paul blames 9/11 on America and lives in lala land about Iran, makes him anathema to truly conservative young people - amd rational conservatives of any age.
Your defense of Paul and your dismissal of those who rightfully accuse him of being a marginal, non-serious candidate falls short of reality.
I repeat.....support for Paul is narrow, freakish and left-leaning. He can't win a Republican primary. Period.
Really?
You may not like the information or the conclusions based on facts on the ground, but that doesn't mean that they are wrong.
Virtually no one here like the fact that Ron Paul is leading in the polls in Iowa, but again, that doesn't mean it isn't true.
Ron Paul leads in active duty military donations by far
GOP presidential hopeful Ron Paul consistently has said that the United States should get out of Afghanistan and Iraq and that American military bases around the world should be closed.
In this campaign, Paul is getting more donations from people who work for the military than either President Obama or any of the other Republican presidential candidates
