Just take the time to look at him.

I desperately hope Dr. Paul has a better than expected showing in IA. If people would take the time to research his record and what he stands for, I'm sure more people would come to his camp. He just gets pathetically little attention from the media outlets. If he has a decent showing in IA, that will hopefully change.

Here's one man's "25 reasons I support Ron Paul".

1. He is honest.
2. He is a statesman, and not just a politician
3. He is pro life.
4. He believes in the US Constitution.
5. He wants to eliminate the evil Federal Reserve and return to honest money
6. He wants to eliminate the IRS and the income tax
7. He wants to reduce the size of the US Government and balance the budget.
8. He opposes the Iraq War and any other war, unless we are attacked.
9. He opposes President Bush’s scheme to form the North American Union (NAU).
10. He will fight the Bush administration efforts to make illegal aliens who have returned to Mexico eligible for U.S. Social Security benefits, and he will oppose amnesty.
11. He opposes the United Nations Law of the Sea Treaty (UNLOST).
12. He is a medical doctor and opposes socialized medicine.
13. He is not a member of the Council on Foreign Relations.
14. He is not a member of the Trilateral Commission.
15. He is a proven money raiser at over $27 million.
16. He is a born-again believer and has lived a life of Christian service.
17. He doesn’t insult us by using his religious faith to pander for votes.
18. He has never voted for a Congressional pay raise.
19. He has never voted for a tax increase.
20. He has never voted for an unbalanced budget.
21. He has never taken a government-paid junket.
22. He has never voted to increase the power of the Executive Branch of government.
23. He has not participated in the Congressional Pension Program.
24. Ron Paul has been repeatedly named the "Taxpayer’s Best Friend" in Congress.
25. I have known Ron Paul for 20 years, and he has never changed.

Ron Paul would be the first to tell you that he is not some miracle worker and that he can only do so much, even if elected, and we all know that it will be a miracle if some one with his convictions would win in the present political climate. But, folks, this may be our last chance in our lifetime for a man like this, so let’s give it all we’ve got.

Go Ron Paul.

Here's a great article to read if you're worried about Dr. Paul's description as a "Fringe candidate". *hint-he's not.

He did not place at all.

I totally disagree with "anonymous." Not placing is no reason to not support Ron Paul. All the more reason TO support him!

Yeah, I kinda ignored "anonymous" because they were completely wrong.

When they said "He did not place at all.", I assumed they meant Iowa, and that's just ignorant. He got 10% of the vote which is the 4th highest of anyone. And that's in a state without a lot of independents (which he's expected to do well with).
