Yes, he does. But it appears that to many here, liberty and the Constitution are over-rated. They prefer safety, security and control --or the temporary illusion of it.
Apparently this Mom isn't alone in feeling "Ron Paul is talking to her". Here's another guy who thinks the same, but for very different reasons. (Poor guy seems to have missed the "Ron Paul is a racist" memo/s!)
Fox News had to BEG Ron Paul to come on for MONTHS before he agreed to. Here he provides a wonderful example of just how he manipulates his followers with lies and half-truths. He wouldn't go on, because he didn't want to answer any inconvenient question. That's the only reason.
For Pete's sake, in the early debates (the ones moderated by liberals, anyway), when he was polling in single digits, he was getting as much airtime as either Romney OR the flavor of the month.
