be sure to investigate his position on a variety of issues, not just the ones that sound good to you.

I am twenty eight, a democrat. My folks are too. My father and I will often banter about politics, world events and lately the republican debate spectacle. Even he is starting to get what Paul has been saying for years, and he grudgingly admits that he is a superior candidate... Though it isn't hard to see why when you look at the lineup. Talk about a house divided. ...

I'm glad that you and your father can actually banter about politics. I ask him who he feels he might vote for for president and he tells me he believes none of them are worth it. I tell him I'm thinking that Ron Paul may be a good choice and he tells me he's the worst one. I ask him why he feels that way and he replies that he won't be voting for someone who is racist and anti-Semitic. I ask him where he read or heard that and he tells me to do my own research. I tell him I have and that I haven't seen anything racist. I ask him where to look and he doesn't want to talk about it. I tell him that if he cannot tell me where to find proof of Ron Paul being racist, then he isn't racist. He tells me in a raised voice to drop it and leaves the room.
My dad's a really smart guy, but if the current political spectrum is so uninteresting to him, I wish he wouldn't have left it on such a loaded note and expected me not to question him about it.
Congrats Dr. Paul on your gaining momentum, but seriously, what the hell did do to my dad?
P.S.
P.P.S. but still ..
