    Why is Ron Paul So Popular?

    Many continue to wonder why Ron Paul is so popular. The media wonders why his widespread support is so enduring. The political establishment wonders why the attraction to his message continues to grow. Here are some various poll results and headlines from roughly the last year.

    Poll: 78 percent don’t trust big government
    Americans Still Strongly Favor Audit of the Fed
    Poll Shows 64 Percent Of Americans Saying Afghan War ‘Not Worth It’
    Americans Blame Wasteful Government Spending for Deficit
    Fox News Poll: 79% Say U.S. Economy Could Collapse
    CNN Poll: Majority says government a threat to citizens’ rights
    Pew: Americans Say Wars In Iraq, Afghanistan Haven’t Made U.S. Safer
    Majority of Americans Say Fed Should Be Reined In or Abolished, Poll Shows
    Poll: Most Americans Want Smaller Government, Fewer Services
    50% Believe Fed Government Has Too Much Influence Over States, 11% Say Not Enough
    Americans Leery of Too Much Gov’t Regulation of Business
    67% Say U.S. Should Steer Clear of Political Unrest in Arab Nations
    Trust In Government? Poll Finds Nearly 80% Of Americans Don’t

    Poll: Most Americans Don’t Trust Government

    President Obama is on the opposite side of every majority public opinion evidenced above. Most of the Republican presidential candidates are either on the opposite side of these popular opinions (the Fed, foreign policy, civil liberties), or are at best lackluster in their records where they claim to agree with the American majority (big government, spending, deficits, debt).
    Only Ron Paul comprehensively represents the direction most Americans have been trending politically, and of course the Texas Congressman hasn’t changed his message for his entire political career.
    Paul hasn’t moved toward the American majority; Americans en masse continue to move toward Paul.
    Many continue to wonder why Ron Paul is so popular. They can stop wondering.

    Brief Overview of Congressman Paul's Record:
    He has never voted to raise taxes.
    He has never voted for an unbalanced budget.
    He has never voted for a federal restriction on gun ownership.
    He has never voted to raise congressional pay.
    He has never taken a government-paid junket.
    He has never voted to increase the power of the executive branch.
    He voted against the Patriot Act.
    He voted against regulating the Internet.
    He voted against the Iraq war.
    He does not participate in the lucrative congressional pension program.
    He returns a portion of his annual congressional office budget to the U.S. treasury every year.

    When Rick Perry was getting Ds in Economics 101, Ron Paul was writing books on Austrian Economics.

    When Michele Bachmann was campaigning for Jimmy Carter, Ron Paul was one of four congressmen to endorse Ronald Reagan on his second run.

    When Herman Cain was working for the Federal Reserve, Ron Paul was trying to end it.

    He may not look or sound like a President most of us are used to in the American Idol era, but Ron Paul has the brass balls of a President we haven't had since Kennedy was in the White House.

    Not only is Ron Paul electable, he's the only adult in the room in either party telling us the cold hard truths that we as a country need to hear.

    Everyone else is talking about rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.

    Paul is the only one that is trying to convince us to listen to him about the iceberg fast approaching. And he's been doing this for 40+ years.

    The good news is that the country is finally starting to listen to him, and the tipping point has arrived.

    Can you imagine the debates between Paul and Obama?

    Obama would be obliterated into smithereens! In your heart, and in your head, you know that Ron Paul is right.

    And if you're willing to believe the falsehoods sold to you by the media in short and tidy soundbites, you deserve the country you're getting if anyone but Paul enters the White House.

    Dr. Ron Paul, whom the media have attempted to keep quietly under wraps and out of the main lights of the presidential race, continues to breakthrough mainstream media barriers. Now, as more people learn about his message, Ron Paul is reaching a tipping point which no one can ignore-- that he is the de facto frontrunner in the GOP field.

    Ron Paul Rocks New York City




    Ron Paul’s Monday appearance on The Daily Show proved once again that Jon Stewart is a fair interviewer with journalistic integrity—something the comedian regularly displays far more often than many conventional reporters. I’ve always admired Stewart even when I disagree with him because, generally, he is intellectually serious, asking substantive questions and berating Right and Left accordingly. Stewart’s conversations with Paul last night both on camera and backstage reflected this same temperament, and he was a heck of a nice guy to boot.
    When the Congressman arrived at Webster Hall after his Daily Show interview, the city’s largest nightclub was sold out—as 1,862 admirers chanted Ron Paul’s name throughout the night. It was an honor to emcee the event, and speakers Murray Sabrin, Karen Kwiatkowski, Dan Halloran, Peter Schiff and musician Jordan Page kept the crowd entertained until the main event.

    And let us discuss the main event. I’ve heard Ron Paul speak many times, and even the Congressman himself has wondered why so many continue to show up to hear him deliver the same message time and again. But deep down he knows why. We all do.
    It’s the message.

    In a body politic typically defined by bipartisan buffoonery, Paul’s honesty and genuineness shine through. This registers with countless Americans who are tired of being lied to.

    Integrity counts. This is similar to my view of self-described liberal Jon Stewart, who I can appreciate for his consistent straightforwardness, even though I’m a conservative.

    But Paul’s message itself: Limited government, sound money, a more prudent foreign policy—the Founding Father’s old ideas about good government are fresh and new to a generation stuck with a glaringly bad one. More Americans than ever are realizing that the unsustainable situation we endure today, of debt, deficits and all the rest, is due precisely to our rejection of constitutional principles. Lessons not learned, the Democrats continue to promise a better socialism, and too many Republicans continue to offer little more than a slightly lesser version of the Democrats’ agenda.

    But Ron Paul promises a better individualism, more freedom, more liberty, and, in a word—hope.

    This hope for a better future, a more American America even, continues to inspire. As Paul often says, it is more about the message than the man, but this doesn’t mean that throngs of Americans can’t enthusiastically appreciate the messenger.

    And last night in New York City, 1,862 people did.
