Texas Congressman Ron Paul said in Seattle on Friday that America is approaching an economic and constitutional crisis due to growing debt, bad trade deals and assaults on personal liberty.
And even if he beat all the odds and won the presidency next year, he said, the problem would be beyond what he alone could fix.
"The time is coming. I believe that the great debate is coming," Paul told more than 400 mostly young people who attended his constitutional lecture at Seattle University.
-SNIP-
The lecture was organized by Seattle University law students. What's the appeal of Paul to the young supporters?
"Everything," said Malisa Gurule, a third-year law student who headed the drive to get Paul on campus.
Gurule, 25, said she had never donated to a presidential candidate until she saw Paul in the Republican debates. She's also never voted in a presidential primary or been involved in a caucus, though she says she will do whatever is needed to help Paul get the GOP nomination.
"He's the only person saying something different," she said. "He's not afraid to attack the status quo."

Forgot the </sarc>
Sorry.
Ron Paul supporters marched along side ANSWER this weekend.
At some point, the messenger becomes the Message...and Ron Paul has attracted enough zanies...it is almost as if they are trying to discredit the constitutionalist small government view.
Hmmmm. I’d probably vote for Paul before I’d vote for Romney. Might vote for Paul before Huckabee just because he seems kind of left wing. Otherwise I’d vote for the other Republican . . .
It’s good to see that Rosanne is keeping busy after her show went off the air.
Which crisis will it be?
The OJ crisis I’m seeing 24/7 on TV?
Or the Britney crisis that even Neil Cavuto seems obsessed with?
She ended up going to work in a number of conservative interest groups, and now heads up a rather prominent one. I won't mention her name, but if you saw her today you would never guess that she once organized raves and that she had piercings in some very nontraditional places...
Barry to Elisabeth: Your "View" is Dangerous
"1. Barry go back on and promote Ron Paul!
Barry, since you support Paul, please go on TV somewhere and talk about him!

Note: “Conservative” and “Libertarian” are as different as “Republican” and “Democrat.” A lot of people on this website don’t seem to understand that.
I figure he will run on a third party, the PAAAP (Paul’s Anti-American Appeasement Party). I think it will hurt the democrats more than the Republicans though. The true Republicans who vote, will vote for a pro American who wants to win the war on terror. It is the democrats who want to loose, and they are the only people who would vote for cut and run.
GUILTY.
I agree. The NWO crowd will eventually bring this country to it’s knees. Can't have all that pesky personal wealth, sovereignty and freedom getting in the way.
Someone else wrote that at least Paul is sticking to his principles in opposing the Iraq thing. If that were all he was doing, then I'd say more power to him. But the fact is that he has stepped over the line into moonbatism, and for that, he has lost any shred of support I had for him, and I speak as someone who has voted for him for PRESIDENT in a past national election..
Corporal punishment back in primary education might help. JMHO
LOL, That conjured up a very disturbing image.
There were two directions to go when replying to the article. You chose differently than I. I just don’t feel comfortable allowing this guy to address real issues when his fixes are as flawed as his are.
That being said, I agree with your take on this, and the NWO crowd is alive and well even here.
:-)
Here at FR, a conservative site, according to founder Jim Robinson, members preferring Ron Paul are currently totaling 5.5% in the poll on the lower right side of the cover page.
Non-members go for Paul at the rate of 20.7
Yet RP gets more threads than any other candidate.
Interesting.
