Ron Paul on the campaign trail in last year's race
for the Republican party's presidential nomination

Pull US troops out of Afghanistan.

Leave Iran alone.

Legalise drugs.

Get the government out of people's private lives.

Say no to the bailout of Wall Street fat cats.

As a menu of policy prescriptions, you might think
that this all puts Ron Paul on the Soviet wing of
the Democratic party. But you'd be wrong.

The 74-year-old Congressman from Texas, with his skinny
frame and his hangdog face, is about as unlikely a poster
child for the future of the Republican party as you are
likely to find, but his ideas have struck chords
with libertarian-minded college kids.
Dismissed last year as the token nutjob in the line-up
of Republican presidential candidates, his insurgent
campaign proved surprisingly tenacious.
Young people at music festivals wore "Dr Paul cured my apathy"
badges, he spawned an internet fund-raising movement
that had echoes of Barack Obama from the other side,
and to this day he has a stronger YouTube presence
than any other Republican politician.
