Conservative religious talk show host, Bryan Fischer, notes that Ron Paul is the only candidate who has enthusiastic support

Ron Paul speaking in FloridaOn his Focal Point program on the American Family Association's radio, Bryan Fischer pointed out that Ron Paul is the only presidential candidate who has an enthusiastic following.

"Now Ron Paul is focusing his energies on caucus states because they can gang rush those things," Fischer remarked, opining that Paul could win the State of Maine's primary. "His people are showing up at these caucuses.  So I think Ron Paul has got a chance to make some noise in these caucus states."

The day after the Florida primary, Fischer noted that turnout was low and that there was little enthusiasm.  "There is no enthusiasm in the GOP base for any of the candidates that are out there.  It's a mystery why there's not more out there for Santorum, but I can understand why there's none for Romney.  I can understand why there's none for Gingrich.  I can understand why Republicans have little enthusiasm for Ron Paul.  I can see all that, but the point is, there's no enthusiasm out there.  The real enthusiasm right now, frankly, is in Ron Paul's base."

As MSNBC host Rachel Maddow and her guest, Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council, agreed following the South Carolina primary, Ron Paul should not be ignored, particularly as he picks up more delegates and is the only GOP candidate enjoying the support of young people.  Maddow pointed out that these young people will be the architects of the future Republican party.

"The only enthusiasm I can find anywhere is with the Ron Paul crowd," Fischer observed.

    It's not just young people any longer. The young people who found Ron Paul four years ago have been talking with their family, friends and colleagues.

    I'm in my 50s and I'm as enthusiastic about Ron Paul as anyone. Got my parents voting for him too.

    He is the ONLY candidate with plans that are serious about our budget and deficit. Anyone else will bring us to the situation in which Greece now finds itself.

    And all that nonsense about his foreign policy? 75% of all donations to campaigns from active troops go to Ron Paul's. The former head of the CIA unit that hunted bin Ladin, Michael Scheuer, has endorsed Ron Paul. Some policy experts have said his foreign policy is the most sound.

    Want the kind of candidate you've always dreamed of voting for, rather than the lesser of the two media-endorsed evils? A candidate you, too, can get excited about? A candidate who will put our nation back on track. Ron Paul is it.
