Richard Nixon's head.

It's pretty much Ron Paul and Obama across the board, with the advantage going to Ron Paul.

Voter IP's are auto deteced according to geographical location before voting.

It's kind of odd that so many socialist countries support Ron Paul.

While he is not getting the media attention, Ron Paul is becoming more popular by word of mouth. And I feel like a lot of people are backing him because of this. People hear that he is against the war and is very different from our current government so they decide that he would be a better fit for our country right now.

They are not taking the time to understand that he stands for a very "hands-off" government. While many people want this, it seems to me that a lot of people are not aware of his stance on all the issues.

I think Dennis Kucinich will be getting the same kind of support if/once he gains the name recognition that Ron Paul has.


People like to support the underdog and I feel like that is what a lot of people are doing when it comes to Ron Paul.

I agree with your assessment and will add that what is filtered through the news into some of those countries may be much different than what we are getting.
One person in Afghanistan said Hillary...hope this is anonymous or someone is gonna get it.

There's also the chance that people outside of the States know MORE about the candidates, when you consider how our media could POSSIBLY be less biased... not saying that's the case but a little bit of a joke.

I voted Ron Paul... all I know about him is his Jay Leno interview or somebodys interview and I like him . Obviously the world would not be voting with the US's best interests or any kinda interests in mind... simply put we're never considered when you guys vote and your vote does affect us... so our vote would mainly be with the rest of the world in mind... and I think he'd be good for that . Actually I like a lot of his internal policies too and I reckon he'd be on my shortlist if I were American anyway.

what has ron paul done for this country?

Personally, I don't like him. One of the few things I approve of is him voting against going to Iraq. Which is surprising considering his a republican. But other than that, we don't mesh.

I agree with this except for the Kucinich thing...he ran 4 years ago and came in with more media recognition than Paul. He'll never get the support Paul would. If he did, it would be outside of the US, as he is a liberal, a 4-letter word in the US.

I imagine Paul is a Republican because he needed one of the two parties to have a chance and he is a little more GOP than DEM. But he's not really a republican. He's a liberatarian. By the way, only slightly less suprising than a republican voting against going to Iraq is a Democrat doing so.

No shit on that one. I wasn't saying I didn't like him because he's republican, just that it was surprising he went against the entire herd. Anyway, I've looked at his voting record and he just ain't my candidate.

Paul is definately not my candidate either. Taking libertarianism to its logical extremes is not for me.

But I'll say this for Paul...While a lot of people were following the herd, he did not. I think he would conduct his presidency similarly. He may try to eliminate child labor laws too, but he won't worry about popularity polls or how it makes him look, which i have to respect.

i think he's getting support becos of his reputation for honesty and ideology. even if you disagree with him, at least you know exactly where he stands and what he will do. i honestly believe people prefer a less than perfect known to someone who tells you what you want to hear but will probably never deliver.

Absolutely... even if ya don't agree with some of his policies you'd feel he's doing it for the right reasons and with the best of intentions... whether it's true or not, it's nice to trust your politicians

Thecure
