Ron Paul's growing support, as recorded by various opinion polls, seems due, at least in part, to an increasing disillusionment being felt by the average voter towards most candidates, both Republicans and Democrats. In such a scenario, the American voter may see Paul as a more acceptable alternative.

Paul is a Constitutionalist, who does not believe in voting for anything that is not authorized by the constitution. As a result, he has consistently voted against prickly issues such as the military escalation in Iraq, or federal spending. He has stuck to his pledge of never voting for increase in taxes and advocated abolishing federal income tax. In fact, it his voting record that has earned him the title of 'Dr. No'.

As a qualified obstetrician, Paul believes life begins at conception and maintains a pro-life stand. Nevertheless, he believes decisions regarding maternal and fetal health should be taken at the state level, and that federal bans infringe upon the rights of the states to make laws.

Paul is loyal to the creed of 'principled libertarianism', with its firm belief in a smaller, less intrusive system of government that would enable citizens to live and seek fulfillment according to their choice. His call for constitutionally limited government has been well received. The views he holds may be working in Paul's favor. At a time when there is a perceivable shift in trend towards a libertarian ethos, Paul's candidature seems to be sending the right signals.

I like him because he actually means what he says and he says he will end the war. He's not a controlled CFR puppet like ALL the rest of the candidates on both sides. That is why the controlled media blacks him out and tries to paint him as a tin foil hat nut job with no support. Don't believe it for a minute. $$ don't lie and his campaign is setting records. Join the rEVOLution!
