"Knowing Ron Paul and having talked to him, I think he's a very fair guy I just think that a lot of folks do not understand the Libertarian platform. I've read Ron Paul's whole philosophy, I also understand what he's saying from a political standpoint and why people are attacking him. If you scare the folks that have the money, they're going to attack you and they're going to take it out of context. What he's saying is really really threatening the powers that be and that's what they fear."
