An unsettling realization about Ron Paul:

[MedleyMisty]

5. I think a lot of the people who like him

only know about the positions that they agree with him on. For instance - they don't know about how he's anti-reproductive choice.

Some of them might know about his plans to end several departments of government, but I think they still like that because to them - the entire government is dysfunctional so hey, why not throw it all away? And like you say - it's young people. I've also noticed with NDAA that a lot of young people don't remember Bush and the Patriot Act, and they act like this is some new thing and that it's all down to Obama.

I'm 30 (will be 31 Saturday) and older people say all this crap started the year I was born. People who are a decade or so younger than me - the post-9/11 era is all they know. To them, the whole system is rotten because it has never worked in their lifetime. So they might not see the greater ramifications of gutting the things that Paul wants to get rid of.
