_Why is Ron Paul the best 2012 US Presidential Candidate?

_Ron Paul has been active in US politics for the last three decades but has got recognition just in recent years. He is running for the 2012 US Presidential Election candidate for the third time this year. He contested for President of the United States 1st in 1988 as a candidate from the Libertarian Party and once more during 2008 as a candidate for the Republican nomination. Ron Paul is well known for his trustworthy and consistent libertarian views. He is the the only Presidential candidate in this election from either of the two key political parties in the US who advocates non-violence, liberty and free market.

He is also a solid family man with a successful marriage for more than 5 decades. His son Rand Paul is also the junior United States Senator for Kentucky. Ron Paul is regarded as a man of words who has stuck to his words for the last 3 decades in his political career. He connects very well with the grassroots and the youth where a significant percentage of his support come from. He is also known for his foreign policy of non-interventionism and for preaching free trade. His words resonate with everyone and he holds the Constitution above everything else. He is against his own Republican party as well as the Democrats on many issues.

In simple words, he is different from all the political rhetoric and candidates which is one of the main reasons for the rapidly growing popularity. He is not only better than all other Republican candidates but also better than most other politicians across party lines.
