Young Ron Paul supporters express support for Gary Johnson, say Romney, Obama the same
Submitted by legalizeliberty on Sat, 09/15/2012 - 15:18Mitt Romney is just not going to cut it for many of Ron Paul’s devoted legion of young followers.

There is a lot of blockades. But a third party is completely viable mainly because of the internet.
Look for the GOP after the election to shut that down by teaming up with Christians to protect all of us from porn. Isn't that nice of them.
Thanks
I spend a lot of time thinking about this.
I think if there was internet in 1988 Ron Paul would have gone viral that year...instead 2007 was the year he finally became popular.
Now just think if there was internet during Ross Perot 1992 campaign.
