I want to make some core points that were not made here yet.
#1) Ron Paul is very honest and always has been, this is a key point for me. In not just his word but his actions he is very honest and has great integrity.
#2) He is not supported by corporations but only by people (pretty big point)
#3) He has great leadership qualities, he stood out from the pack for many years but hes led on key issues, issue that men dared not fight for decades he was always fighting for it. Ron Paul, Kusinich, Bernie Sanders, have stood out among senators on many key issue and Ron Paul is the leader of this group and the leader of several committees.
#4) Dr Paul predicted the financial collapse and actually studies economics. Dr Paul lead the fight to audit the fed and got an audit with unanimous support in congress, he found that 16 trillion dollars missing from the FED and unfortunately he will go no further unless he becomes president. Ron Paul dug around a little bit the feds backyard and found it full of bodies. Should he keep digging? Further..Dr Paul is one of the few people that go on main stream media and talk about the economy honestly while others simply ignore it as to not create chaos, Ron Paul remains brutally honest.
#5) The Establishment which includes corporate main stream media, big pharma, big oil, the big megabanks, the republican leaders, and the democrat leaders do not want him to be president because he will expose them for the crooks they are and he doesn't follow orders or bow to lobbyist. This is evidenced by how they ignore him and smear him constantly (which should be quite obvious to anyone by now). Also it is quite simply a conflict of interest for many of these criminals.
#6) Ron paul always stands with the people..he stood by occupy, he is the founder of the Tea party, he is a libertarian.....
#7) Ron Paul wants to end the wars
#8 Ron Paul wants to end the drug war and pardon non-violent criminals from prison.
#9 He will not appoint goldman sachs ceo's to his cabinet (another pretty important thing)
