check out this interview with someone who donated to Paul's campaign and who was contacted randomly by ABC, this is simply amazing...

---
The names of online contributors flash across Paul's Web site.

One of those names, pulled at random and contacted by ABC News, is Ed Kirkpatrick, of Mulkeytown, Ill.

Kirkpatrick, 53, was actually online at Paul's Web site when we reached him, though he said Mulkeytown is not exactly the modern world and the best he can get is a slow dial-up connection.

He said he had intended to give Paul money for some time, but the coordination of supporters to all give money on Nov. 5 put him over the edge.

Kirkpatrick, who is on disability with back problems after a career as a quality control inspector, gave $100.

"He's a breath of fresh air," Kirkpatrick said of Paul. "He is representing what no other candidate represents in my opinion ? back to the basics and back to what this country was founded on. He'll say what's on his mind. I don't see anything wishy washy about him and he'll say what he thinks instead of him telling me what I want to hear."

To that end, Kirkpatrick, who voted for George W. Bush in 2004 but has not given money to any presidential candidate since Ronald Reagan, said he doesn't agree with Paul on everything, though "disagree might be a bit of a stretch."

As a libertarian Republican, Paul would allow the use of medical marijuana and even broke with the Republican Party back in the '80s over the so-called war on drugs.

"It would be interesting to see [legalizing] drugs works out," Kirkpatrick said.

He also pointed to Paul's disengagement ideas for foreign policy that could have "interesting" consequences, but Kirkpatrick thinks Paul would not be able to pull troops out of Iraq as quickly as everyone thinks.

"I know that him saying that doesn't mean it would happen immediately even if he was elected. The media try to make him sound like a bloomin' idiot up there. Everything would happen tomorrow. But it takes time. He knows that. I know that. Anybody who thinks about it knows it."
