Oddly as it may sound, Ron Paul actually managed to acquire the support of some leftists. This is odd sounding to me, but he is the only candidate on both sides that has committed to getting the troops back asap (Hillary and Obama both said they'd have troops there for several more years).
Yes, this is a valid point, but I don't think there is a chance in hell he will get the Republican nomination. Don't get me wrong, the man inspires me... just like Perot did in '91. I felt like a dumbass when the election was over.
