Diverse crowd turns out for Paul event TAYLOR BRIGHT ROCK HILL, S.C. -- Some had Mohawks; others had tattoos. One dressed as an American Revolutionary. They wore Hollister. They chanted his name loudly. This is Texan Ron Paul's revolution. On Saturday morning, about 500 devotees showed up at the Freedom Center to hear Paul, a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination. "This can definitely happen," said Jared Phillips, 19. Paul is an unlikely vessel for the fire of his supporters. A longtime Republican congressman from Surfside, his delivery is low-key and his message is nuanced.
(Article continues below) Paul believes that the U.S. shouldn't be in Iraq, that the government shouldn't interfere in its citizens' lives, and that the Constitution should be followed. "It was written not to control our lives; it was written to restrain the government," Paul said. Paul trails in the polls, but is raising more money than any other Republican candidate. "The big question, is there enough time?" Paul said. The South Carolina Republican primary is Jan.19.
