Ron Paul is not like the democratic or republican candidates----he is an honest patriot. The American people are way too dumb to see this and elect him verses the Hillary and Rudy duo. How sad is America anyway? Gullible people always lose their countries too treacherous liars.

I might take ron paul more serious if it wasnt for his supporters. They are maybe some of the most annoying people on the internet. I think theres a book you have to read when you start to support this guy because every single one of them coppies the same line when they talk about him. "he is an honest patriot"or "he will bring america back" every post says the same things. I cant take someone to serious that has jokers backing him.

Ron Paul speaks plain and simple and I'm alway's refreshed thinking that he could be the next President.

It's too bad that you see truth as a joke. There is no other way to say it. He has sound monitary policies, always voted in favor of the Constitution, turned down the congressional pension he's entitled to, voted against the war and the patriot act, and he wants to limit governmental power while returning REAL power back to the American People where it belongs. I'm no kook, just an average Joe who is tired of corrupt politics and pocket lining. I honestly believe that Ron will not lead our nation any further in that dark direction, but instead, into the light. God bless him, we need more Americans like him.

Wow, many thanks to you ABC and Jennifer Parker for publishing this article on Ron Paul. I guess you all are not blind to what is really going on in America. We need more positive reporting on the Candidates, especially Ron Paul. As to the comment made by Leon, I am sorry that we Ron Paul Supporters have offended you and we get a little excited. Please realize that quite a few of Americans finally see that there is a Candidate to get excited about and a Candidate that will make the necessary changes to put our country back in line with OUR CONSTITUTION. I have never donated to a campaign and it wasn't because I didn't vote before but because I have never found any of the other Candidates to be worthy, well maybe with the exception of Ronald Reagan, I did look up to him, I was active duty military when he was running for office. We need to get our troops home, and I know that Ron Paul WILL do that.

I won't rant and rave about Ron Paul, but I will tell you he has my support and vote. I am very thrilled to see that one of the major media players is actually reporting something positive about this man, and not downplaying him or doing the blackout on him as the other main stream media do. For example recently CNN's Glen Beck has gone as low as to call Ron Paul Supporters Terrorists, now that is utterly rediculous to say the least. I am an average Jane American, just trying to raise a family, working and really wanting to see America progress in a positive way, so that my children might have a Country they can be proud of and have their Freedom and Liberty. I believe the changes Ron Paul wants to make will do just that. He will do it using our Constitution and listening to the people, as well as working with Congress. We have to downsize our federal government or we will not be a Country in the near future but a fallen Empire.

I say this from my heart, and with a logical/reasonable thinking mind.

Thanks again ABC, and of course Jennifer Parker, awesome Political Radar reporting.

Ron Paul is the only worthwhile candidate that's currently running for President.

If I am not mistaken, Ron Paul has raised
much more money than McCain. Ron Paul is
authentic and he has my vote.....

Anyone who sticks it to the IRS like he does deserves to be Prez!!!

Ron Paul exudes honesty and integrity which is a refreshing change from all of the rest of the candidates and perhaps congress itself. He is literate, well-spoken, genuine and really seems to care about the U.S.A. and the Constitution. Of course, this also is complete about face with the other candidates and I will not even begin to compare this to our current el residente Bush. I have seen signs saying that Ron Paul has cured their apathy and I can fully relate and appreciate the message and the energy taken to relay. I cannot imagine anyone who has taken the time to educate themselves as to current policy foreign and domestic aided with a fundamental and comprehensive knowledge of history who would not welcome Ron Paul with all the enthusiam of a poor man gumming a ritz cracker after the Bush/Clinton dynasty. Ron Paul talks sensibly and his policies are aimed at making the U.S. a peaceful, prosperous, trading nation with a focus on the ideals that all other countries will want to emulate. Americans have a choice: We can vote for the same old fakirs and criminals and "stay the course"(will think of W every time I hear this for the rest of my life) OR we can take the time to break away from this dumbing down and fascist indoctrination to be free, responsible people of a great nation that will BE RESPONSIBLE and think for ourselves. Vote Ron Paul---all other candidates are for 1984!!

Excuse an old man for commenting. I have been a 55 year Democrat and never seen an honest to goodness "honest" politician in Washington. I never dreamed of moving to the "other" party but I recently had an awakeing and have at the age of 74 changed my registration to Republician so I could vote for Ron Paul in the primary, if you want this man to win I suggest you register and VOTE..DONT TALK VOTE

He's the only Republican I'd vote for. But since he does not believe in invading people's privacy, he has no chance of getting broad Republican support. After all, what is an evangelical if not a hypocrite who keeps dirty linen, and expects everyone else to be clean as snow?

He will never be president. He doesn't have "the look". How sad is that?

Ron Paul and his supporters seem to some as being a little off center. That is because he is and we are. We take a strong stand for honesty and integrity in government. We believe that our government should benefit the people rather than rob and deceive them. We are not middlin fence sitters having no firm convictions either way on the issues. We have given them enough thought to know what is in the best interest of our entire nation rather than the highest benefit of selfish interest groups. Yeah, we're unballanced toward sanity and character and away from the loony status quo. Thank God the number of "unballanced" people in America is growing by leaps and bounds every day. And the whole gang is voting for our hero, Ron Paul.

To "VeteranD" (& the rest of you Ron Paul supporters): It's FUNNY how you FAIL to mention "Dr." Ron Paul's HEALTHPLAN (which ONLY benefits the WEALTHY)!!!!!!!!!!!!

I always read these comments about how Ron Paul supporters are crazy jerks but when you read their comments their the most logical and well thought out ideas. It makes me think this was the very mind set of the people who created this country.

I am bit radical I believe in America and all it can offer. Was that not what America has always been about defying what is said that can't be done? I am a proud supporter of Ron Paul and if that leads to people calling me kook or kool aid drinker so be it.

Ron Paul has earned my support and admiration. Dec 16th the Tea Party begins. Bottoms up LiberTEA is Brewing!

Ron Paul is nothing more than a blip on the radar screen. After the first primary, he will resemble a bug on a winsheild.. time to beam up to the mothership.. all you Ron Paul suporters.

Thanks for the article on Dr. Paul and to GQ for recognizing the most under-estimated candidate of the election. Ron Paul is an honest man of unquestionable integrity. He is frugal and his economic policies are sound and well-researched. He has the audacity to challenge the GOP on its out-of-control foreign policy, which is bankrupting America and endangering our way of life. If being enthused by a candidate and trying to sway others to at least research his positions is considered "offensive" or "kooky", then isn't the MSM guilty of the same, pushing their "front-runners" and "top-tier" candidates, while ignoring other contenders, who are now catching up.

It's funny how first they ignore him, then they make fun of him, then they smear him, then HE WINS.

Right now we are in phase III, when a bunch of torture supporters, police statists, warmongers, inflationists, foreign aiders, and redistributionists are smearing Ron Paul.

Go Ron Paul!!!

Ron Paul is the only Republican that I would even consider for a second. He appeals to my inner libertarian. But, if he were elected, I fear he'd still be answering to the Republican good-old-boys that brought us the soaring deficit and Iraq fiasco. Even as POTUS, would he be able to change the course of the entire GOP machine? Or would he be a mouthpiece that says what we want to hear while the evil that is the GOP continues their quest to destroy America?

It's true that there is a small but vocal minority of Ron Paul supporters who are obnoxious and rude, because most of us are polite, friendly hardworking Americans. Honest!
