Could it be because he wants to kill the "Patriot" Act? (And if you agree with him, it might be helpful to pledge to put "Patriot" in quotation marks, whether you're writing or speaking.)
Maybe it's because he wants out of Iraq. (Ron Paul, in the majority?)
Paul is another American who has noticed that the war on drugs is a sham. (Kill the war on drugs? When so many have such rich investments in it?)
He's the only Republican candidate who wants to end U.S. involvement in Iraq and withdraw the U.S. Navy from the waters off the Iranian coast. He wants America to pull out of the United Nations, NATO, the International Criminal Court, and most international trade agreements. He wants to abolish FEMA, end the federal war on drugs, get rid of the Department of Homeland Security, send the U.S. military to guard the Mexican border, stop federal prosecutions of obscenity, eliminate the IRS, end most foreign aid, overturn the Patriot Act, phase out Social Security, revoke public services for illegal immigrants, repeal No Child Left Behind, and reestablish gold and silver as legal tender.
I'd like to stay in the UN (if it'll have us), and the International Criminal Court, keep FEMA, avoid military action along our borders, keep foreign aid and Social Security. For those and other reasons Ron Paul still looks like a wingnut, albeit a wingnut of his own special, useful variety. He deserves a lot more attention than the media once wanted to allow him.
