The only reason Ron Paul is loved on college campuses is because of is stance on the war and America's foriegn policy.  If he started talking about his domestic ideas to that same crowd he'd get booed off the stage faster than that minuteman guy did.

bull puckey.  three domestic issues off the top of my head that are huge with college kids are the income tax, social security and the war on drugs.  

you're saying that the college kids who support RP only do so because, basically, they're not paying attention to the rest of his platform.  I'm saying they support him because they ARE paying attention.  They see the direction this country is heading and they don't like it.  you obviously haven't spoken with any college kids about why they support RP, you're not qualified to make such a blanket statement as you did.

everyone likes a libertarian until they find out he is gonna take away their free stuff that they get from someone with just a little more money than them.

ron paul is good at never telling anyone what a libertarian is.

Well I would counter that you are not qualified to make that statement either...

I have personally seen, witnessed and been a party to groups that have supported or advocating non-support of a candiate based on only 1 issue on a candiates platform, 1, ONE issue.  whether they be military, school teachers, BSA, government employees or college students.

Example:  My wife is a Treasury employee, she is the steward of her local union.  During the Bush/Kerry campaign her union voted to support Kerry
Only because one of Bush's issues was to push congress to replace some federal offices and employee's with contractors and the Treasury/IRS department was one of those.  That was it, they didnt care what else Kerry stood for, or what else Bush might do,  they were only concerned about thier jobs

So if Stang says some college students support Ron Paul for his stance on Iraq, I can believe it

Yup, Dr Paul better get his brakes checked.

Kinda like the 6 US troops that all turned up DEAD on US soil within 7 days of the B52 Nuke flyover incident.. the "paperwork" error. Supposedly there's a Nuke cruise missile missing.

1. All six people listed below are from Minot Air force base
2. All were directly involved in the b52 nuke fly over as loaders or as pilots
3. All died within 7 days in 'accidents'

Edit:
Here's a better link:
http://baltimorechronicle.com/2007/103107Lindorff.shtml

"Why hasn’t the Air Force or the FBI investigated the 6-8 untimely deaths including three alleged suicides, one of a Minot weapons guard, one of an assistant defense secretary, and one of a captain in the super-secret Air Force Special Commando Group, as well as alleged fatal vehicle “accidents” involving four ground crew and B-52 pilots and crewmembers at Minot and Barksdale?"

 You know, there are some morons on this board. Hell I might even be one of them, but you sir, take the cake. Come out of your moms basement for a few days. Get a hotel room with that crazy check you get and see the world for a while. You will find that the world is not so bad...just take baby steps...baby steps.

Ron Paulism is rolling large in Illinois.
Revoloution banners going up everywhere. Sooner or later the media will acknowledge him as a contender.

It really is the sole reason.  These kids probably have no idea what else he wants to do.  

Saying we should get out of foriegn entanglements is akin to having energy independence to these kids.  They like that.  They think if we would only leave the rest of the world alone we wouldn't have any of these problems.  Rubbish.  

The world is so interconnected now if we would collectively stick our heads in the sand and ignore what's going on, which is basically what Paul stands for, it would be disastrous.  We have to be engaged in the world.  Radically engaged.  Just not in the "cowboy diplomacy" ways we have been.

[moot]

Stang that's true, but RP is still better than the rest of them.  Would you give up the country's internal health for foreign affairs engagements?  That's how you're putting it.
I think RP would be the first step in the right direction.

No, of course not.  That would be equally disastrous.

I'm spoken with (in person and online) many college age Ron Paul supporters in the last year or so.  I'm more qualified than you to speak to the limits of their support.

really?  probably?  which is it?

show me one piece of evidence that backs up your claim.  one account from a college student who liked Paul for his foreign policy but withdrew their support when they found out the rest of his platform.

bah, this is a stupid argument.  I'm just trying to say that those kids aren't as clueless as you like to think.  RP's got over 75 thousand myspace friends.  a good chunk of them are likely college age.  you think NONE of them bother to check out the rest of RP's positions?

[john9001]

a study showed most college students get their "news" from the daly show and colbert report.

RP sounds good for the first 2-3 minutes, then he starts to sound like ross Perot.
