There has been many young people around the age of 16 interested in politics and the upcoming presidential election due to Ron Paul. With no doubt from many internet users, they claim that he has been an absolute sensation on the internet due to what he believed and disbelieved concerning various issues that interested many young people who are beginning to follow the news concerning the election. Many of them view Ron Paul as a candidate that made their apathy go away and gave them a reason to be interested in the presidential election because it's their duty as United States citizens. There's an abundant amount of supporters that believe this man will guarantee "Freedom, Prosperity, and Peace" which is why many of the supporters will turn out during the primary election to vote for him. Unfortunately, many of them will not be able to vote because of the age limit at 18. Although, due to the Twenty-sixth Amendment giving suffrage to people who are 18 and older, many of them are going to vote because of the Republican candidate, Ron Paul.

What are your opinions on this? If you have not been interested in politics or any prior presidential elections, will this year be different?
Young people are "young and naive". They can talk about as much as they want, but in reality most do not know the whole picture and the whole effects on the economy. It is the primary reason why the voting age is 18 and not 16.

I think another main reason why younger people are for Ron Paul is because the guy is a libertarian and libertarians are for more lenient age limits on driving, smoking, and drinking...
