My friend who says she’s a democrat also says she wants to do volunteer work for Ron Paul’s campaign, and she says that even her liberal friends support him too. Now, the startling thing is that her and her aforementioned friends live in San Fransisco, so what they call ‘democrat’ everyone else calls ‘ultra-liberal’... I’m surprised at his popularity among that particular population segment.
Does your "liberal" San Francisco friend know that Ron Paul has a 100 percent pro-life voting record? Does she know he's a 100 percent backer of Second Amendment gun ownership rights? Does she know that he wants to eliminate the US Department of Education? Does she know he wants to eliminate the income tax and slash the size of government and the overall tax burden? If your friend knows these things and is supporting Ron Paul, knowing these things, then I would say your friend is not a liberal. These are not liberal positions, they're strong conservative positions.
