Myth One: Ron Paul can’t win this election.
Wrong! Ron Paul can win this election. Most people haven’t even heard of Ron Paul yet. Conservatives are not very satisfied by Rudy, Mitt, Fred or the other candidates. People are not ready for a “Hillary Clinton” presidency and I know they aren’t ready for someone like Barack Obama. Yes, Ron Paul can win this election.
Myth Two: Ron Paul is a gun rights supporter so he’ll push for federal laws for gun rights.
Wrong again, Ron Paul is a supporter of gun rights, but – he doesn’t believe the federal government should have anything to do with gun rights. The individual states should decide on gun rights issues.
Myth Three: The mainstream media is never going to give Ron Paul the air time he needs to win.
Wrong! Ron Paul is gaining momentum every day. True, much of that is from daily internet users. However, the mainstream media are not dummies – eventually they’ll crack under the pressure and be forced to give him his due air time. After all, not even the mainstream media is dumb enough to miss a story like Ron Paul.
Myth Four: Ron Paul is pro life so he’ll try to have abortion made illegal.
Wrong! It’s true that Ron Paul is pro life – his personal views are pro life – but his politics are such that he doesn’t believe the federal government should have anything to do with the topic of abortion – legal or illegal – the states should decide. It’s the same situation as with gun rights.
Myth Five: Ron Paul is some kind of a kooky, grouchy old man.
Wrong! Ron Paul has a political philosophy he believes in – the Constitution of the United States of America. He has a consistent voting record and hammers out his beliefs. That’s what it takes to be heard in today’s political climate. And, he’s not really very old.
Wow very interesting.

Nice post. So few people understand that you aren’t against something if you are for the opposite.
Well, that and people don’t understand liberty anymore. Ron Paul is right, either we ban it or subsidize it nowadays. And to make it worse it happens more and more at the federal level.
Thanks for the great post. Keep up the good work.
Good post, helps clarify to folks who have concerns about his candidacy and aren’t that familiar with libertarianism/constitutionalism.
Gun rights are not an issue! Take a good look at the 2nd
amendment. Therefore any gun legislation is unconstitutional. Otherwise you make some good basic points.
betterlatethannever – I agree.
The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
The Federal Government was never granted a right to pass any law against the ownership of firearms. They took it upon themselves to decide that right and pass unconstitutional laws.
Ron Paul will correct this error.
