Ron Paul speaks at USC
Yesterday, Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul addressed a crowd of students and supporters in front of the Tommy Trojan. The event was sponsored by the university's Program Board, and attracted students and adults from throughout the Los Angeles area. (attendance was 700-900 according to campus police)
"He is a libertarian who has found his place in the Republican Party," said Jeffrey Hubbard, organizer of the event and a senior majoring political science and philosophy. "He is trying to bring the party back to a purer form of Republicanism."
Hubbard said his support for Paul draws from a lack of faith in the current Republican administration.
"I voted for Bush in 2004, but now feel betrayed by him. I understood Afghanistan, and was still under the rah-rah-rah when Iraq started," Hubbard said. "A lot of people are sharing this feeling."
"The first time I saw Ron Paul was on a YouTube video," said Leslie Mood, a senior majoring in business administration. "I was an Independent, but I switched to the Republican Party to vote in this primary."
By the way, Ron Paul sells out three fundraisers while in LA. The one in Pasadena at the Ritz Carlton was $500 per person. The fundraising reception on campus was $500 per person. The third was a fundraising dinner at the home of Bill Johnson. That was $2,000 per person.
The Freedom Index runs a congressional scorecard based on the U.S. constitution. The average House score is 40%. Ron Paul scores 100%.

Actually, I never heard of Ron Paul until I checked YouTube and found a video of Rudy Giuliani chastising Paul about the US being at fault for causing 9/11. After hearing what Ron Paul said before and Rudy's response, I realised Paul was clearly right, and Rudy used 9/11 to confuse the audience.
