      <![CDATA[When I talk to the Ron Paul supporters amongst my acquaintances, the first virtue they mention is the unwavering inflexibility of his views over the decades. I'm not sure why they think a stubborn refusal to admit that one might be wrong is so admirable -- they certainly detest it in my refusal to believe Ron Paul would make America a better place.

      <![CDATA[@2<br />
<br />
Makes sense to me. In my totally anecdotal and subjective experience, a lot of kids want simplified answers to problems and to disregard nuance and complexity in favor of apparent "solutions." A stolid and morally entrenched politician might appeal to that desire (on both sides of the political spectrum, too).

      <![CDATA[I think younger people are drawn to politicians with really strong, inflexible, straightforward beliefs, views, and answers on things. That's why Ron Paul has so many young followers - even though his policies are insane, he's very committed to those policies. Santorum is the same. That kind of attitude also helped Jesse Ventura get elected governor of Minnesota, where the young vote was strongly in his favor. Young people are idealistic. They become more realistic and flexible as they grow up.<br />
<br />
That's my two cents anyway.
