FORT MILL, S.C. -- Despite finishing outside the top three in all of the Republican primaries so far, Texas congressman Ron Paul is continuing his fight in South Carolina.
Supporters of the "Ron Paul Revolution,” considered some of the most loyal among all the candidates, listened to Paul speak Thursday in Fort Mill. Despite his recent showings, Paul is gaining support from one of the most coveted groups among candidates -- young voters.
Republican Ron Paul spoke to supporters Thursday in Fort Mill, S.C.
“We have such enthusiasm from young people, enthusiasm because we’re talking about the Constitution in a serious manner,” Paul said. “I believe that we should follow the Constitution, we take an oath of office to follow it, be we do so many things that totally ignore it.”
Paul points to the federal government’s control of education, the country’s health care system, its process of engaging in war and the monetary system as ways the country fails to follow the Constitution.
“It was said that only gold and silver should be legal tender and look at what’s happening to the dollar today,” Paul said.
Even if Paul is defeated, his supporters say this is just the beginning as he has a massive following young people involved in politics.
