Ron Paul leaves impression on college students

I really like the fact that every decision that Ron Paul makes is based on our Constitution. Its nice to see someone want to get America back on course. I feel that we've been so off course for a long time now!

NASHUA – A crowd of onlookers and Ron Paul supporters gathered and shivered as blustery winds whipped about. “It’s good to be here,” said presidential hopeful Paul, a Republican representative of Texas. Paul made an appearance at Greeley Park to meet with students, faculty and staff from Thomas More College of Liberal Arts in Merrimack to field questions about his campaign and personal views.The annual “Mud Bowl” football game, which is organized by students, took a back seat as the players stopped their game to come over and meet Paul.

The players were promptly introduced to Paul and were asked if they had any questions.“Who’s your favorite poet?” one player asked. Paul paused for a moment, laughed and said, “I can’t think of one at the moment.”A member of the crowd quickly quipped, “Robert Frost would be a good choice.”

He was then asked about how he felt about Thomas More College, chiefly because of its function as a liberal arts college.“I went to a small liberal arts college,” Paul said. “I think you get a better education at a smaller college.”

After answering questions that ranged from the purported lack of adherence to the Constitution by other candidates, to how successful his campaign can be, Paul thanked the crowd of roughly 75 people and left to speak in Salem.

His appearance left a big impression on Jeff Comar, who came all the way from Portsmouth to hear Paul speak. “Every decision he makes is based on the Constitution,” Comar said. “I also respect him for his view on Iraq. He’s the only one with the guts to say we shouldn’t be there and we need to get out now.”And Comar believes Paul will be speaking at many more places in the future after the results from the primaries.“He’ll do well. He’ll survive. He’ll go on to the next round,” Comar said with conviction.
