Personally I think Paul's so-called revolution is nothing more than spammers.
If by spammers you mean massive amounts of people that just can’t shut up about how great a president this man would be, then you are right.
Just because you put signs everywhere doesn't mean you're popular.
No it doesn’t, but if a lot of different, individual people are putting up signs representing one man/movement, that man/movement is popular.
If he was so popular like people claim why isn't he going up in national polls? Look for example at Bill Richardson. He's been doing the hard
campaigning work and he's been going up in the polls.
Polls are cute. What logic of Ron Paul’s do you find wrong?
Oh and I could never support someone who has racists Nazi wannabe's supporting him like Paul does.
I’m sorry but it’s really starting to sound like you just don’t come to your own conclusions. Ron Paul has a huge demographic, mainly because
everything he says is right. If you’d actually listen to him and aren’t afraid of forming your own opinion, you may end up inside that
demographic.
You really think he would win? Look at the issues being talked about now. He's against any sort of national health care program.
Ron Paul quote:
We've had managed care in this country since the early 1970s, and it hasn't worked well. It's very, very expensive, and it's the fault that we
changed our ERISA law and our tax laws that created this corporatism that runs medicine. Wall Street rakes off the profits. The patients are unhappy.
The doctors are unhappy. And it's a monopoly now. Who lobbies us in Washington? The drug companies and the HMOs. They come. And now what is the cry
for? Socialized medicine. That's not the answer. We need to get the government out of the way. Inflation hits the middle class and the poor the most.
Those are the people who are losing it. We don't have enough competition. There's a doctor monopoly out there. We need alternative health care
freely available to the people. They ought to be able to make their own choices and not controlled by the FDA preventing them to use some of the
medications.

he's against public schools,
Ron Paul quote:
The key to fixing our education system is to reduce the role of the federal government and expand local and parental control of schools. Funding
decisions increasingly have been controlled by bureaucrats in Washington, causing public and even some private schools to follow the dictates of these
federal “educrats” to an ever-greater degree to preserve their funding. As a result, curricula, teacher standards, textbook selection, and
discipline policies have been crafted in Washington. Rigorous classes in basics such as mathematics, grammar, science, Western civilization, and
history have been reduced or eliminated, while politically favored subjects have been forced upon students.

he voted against the Civil Rights Act of 1964
Ron Paul quote:
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 gave the federal government unprecedented power over the hiring, employee relations, and customer service practices of
every business in the country. The result was a massive violation of the rights of private property and contract, which are the bedrocks of free
society. The federal government has no legitimate authority to infringe on the rights of private property owners to use their property as they please
and to form (or not form) contracts with terms mutually agreeable to all parties. The rights of all private property owners, even those whose actions
decent people find abhorrent, must be respected if we are to maintain a free society.

he thinks corporations should be able to do whatever the hell they want so say goodbye to telling them to not send jobs over seas
It is called a free market.
Oh and he claims to be a Constitional scholar while at the same time saying there's no such thing as the seperation of church and state.
H.J.RES.52 (2001), H.J.RES.66 (1999), S.J.RES. 1, H.J.RES.12, H. J. RES. 108, & H. J. RES. 55:
Nothing in this Constitution shall be construed to prohibit individual or group prayer in public schools or other public institutions. No person shall
be required by the United States or by any State to participate in prayer . Neither the United States nor any State shall compose the words of any
prayer to be said in public schools.
H. J. RES. 78 (1997):
To secure the people's right to acknowledge God according to the dictates of conscience: Neither the United States nor any State shall establish any
official religion, but the people's right to pray and to recognize their religious beliefs, heritage, or traditions on public property, including
schools, shall not be infringed. Neither the United States nor any State shall require any person to join in prayer or other religious activity,
prescribe school prayers, discriminate against religion, or deny equal access to a benefit on account of religion.

Oh and he also is for the original Constitution so those of you who are African-American or a woman or other minorities you can kiss your vote
goodbye cause we didn't get to vote until the Civil Rights Act which Ron Paul voted against.
Now that’s just silly.
