We have friends in from California this week who are huge liberals. They supported Obama whole heartedly in the 2008 election.
Since they are liberals and we love them anyway, I always try to veer away from any political discussions. Much to my surprise, they bring up Ron Paul and said they not only supported him but donated money to the cause last week!!
I was blown away. I asked why the conversion. They expressed that although they felt like Obama was doing a pretty good job, Ron Paul is the only politician they trust. They like his stance on the economy, foreign policy, and feel like he's the only politician that hasn't been a big liar.
A direct quote: "I will vote for Ron Paul if he's the republican nominee. This will be my first time not voting democratic party. If Paul runs third party, I'll still vote for him. If Romney, Gingrich, or Santorum win the nomination and Paul doesn't run third party, we are voting Obama again."
These guys have Obama bumper stickers on both of their cars. I don't think this is a unique story. I'm hopeful that somehow, despite the efforts of the msm, people will start to figure out that the best way to beat Obama is with Paul.
I'm proud of my liberal commie socialist marxist friends!
