His stance on the war, illegals, spending/lowering taxes, and following the constitution seems to be what many want.

I'm saying this in all honesty. It's the one area where true conservatives and liberals are agreeing with one another. And the format is simple, The Constitution of the United states of America. Believe it or not boys and girls both sides are agreeing. It needs to be restored. Only "We the people" will make that happen. Dr. Paul can help us once again to head in that direction. will it be scary for most. I'd imagine so. but i speaking as just one individual firmly believe true freedom and Independence is well worth the hassle of getting there. By the way i'm a true conservative( old fashioned liberal).

I think its very possible. I mean I think the reason he is so low in the polls for the GOP primaries is that those polls are usually taken with registered Republican voters and I think that shows that much of his support comes from Independents and Democrats. I mean he has been the one with the most logical and coherent anti-war position. He seems to have a philosophical and constitutional argument against American interventionist foreign policy, rather than Hillary, Obama, or Edwards who oppose the war but have been very politically cautious and moderate. He has been the most passionate and articulate anti-war candidate so I think a lot of Liberals may jump to him if he ran as a third party candidate, which I wouldn't be surprised if he did. I mean it could be similar to Ralph Nader in 2000, I mean Liberals don't have to worry about another 4 years of Bush now (which is why they all flocked to Kerry instead of many voting for Nader) so they may be more open to voting for a third party candidate. And it could possibly have the effect of throwing the election like in 2000, who knows. I would be a little concerned about that if I were Hillary Clinton.
Who would have thought some of George W. Bush's harshest critics would want him replaced by another Texas Republican?

Ron Paul is the only hope America has right now. He is the only candidate out of both parties that fully supports the constitution.

Ron Paul for President!

He has supporters from all parties, I am a hardcore leftist, and this is the first republican I would ever support.
His views are what many people want, but he is not the most popular candidate, it will most likley be obama and clinton as the 2 major candidates, but he may still run and get alot of votes.

Yes, they would. Right is right and Ron Paul is the only one with INTEGRITY which makes him right!
EDIT: Ron Paul has NEVER forced his religion on anyone, (I don't even know WHAT his religion is in the first place) and secondly I don't recall him being anti-gay. What I DO know about him is that he would rule through a very hands off the people way. He is for SMALLER GOVERNMENT!

If you mean liberals in the original, European sense of the word then absolutely, if you mean it in the progressive American sense (more probable) then I'm not entirely sure. It would really depend on the democratic nominee.

It would be a case by case basis. I know of a few that would, and I know of a few that wouldn't.
The problem is that party titles mislead people. Don't vote for the party, vote for the candidate.

I would very possibly vote for him but in the back of my mind, I have a fear that he would be assassinated. I have no idea who would do that, but still can't shake that feeling.
