Most of them are young, earnest and in search of simple solutions to complex problems. RP’s brand of libertarian freedom appeals to the sex/drugs/rock-roll crowd (not that there is anything wrong with that). I wish Gary Johnson (the sane RP) would be getting some air time, but it looks like the enemy-media is going to cram either Newt or Mitt down our throats. Relax and enjoy it.

Don't forget the certifiably insane, and wacked out conspiracy theorists. Ron's their guy.

Gary Johnson is as much of a Libertarian as Ron Paul.

If they would run as what they are (Paul did once) at least I might have some respect for them.

It is pretty easy to dupe the young into supporting Utopia.

Very true. They think the world is a simple place. Kind of like being able to solve complex issues like is done in a one hour television show.

I think that's right. People are attracted to Ron Paul for a lot of the same reasons that people are attracted to conspiracy theories.
