Candidates@Google: Ron Paul

Ron Paul is a Republican candidate hoping to be the next President of the United States. He calls himself a constitutionalist first. I have seen a few Internet videos of him speaking and I am pleasantly surprised. Among all the politicians - both American and Indian - I have seen so far, Ron Paul comes across as the one with the most sincere convictions and ideals. You will get no lame, empty sound-bytes or insincere, populist rhetoric from this guy. He is extremely articulate, and everything he says seem to be based on deeply held convictions and logical reasoning. Not only that, he has consistently stuck to his ideals in his entire political career - no contradictions, no compromises seem to appear in his political record.

No wonder that Ron Paul's popularlity is increasing phenomenally among younger Americans with diverse leanings - Democrat or Republican, conservative or liberal. I don't agree with all his positions, but boy, is it refreshing to see a politician like Ron Paul in these times!

Seriously, if you care about who the next President of the United States will be, you should Google Ron Paul. Even if you don't care, just check out the video below of his interview at Google, to see why he is so different and important to present day America.
