He is very popular on youtube and google. Just typing in his name there will yield a lot of results. As far as his stances on the issues, he enumerates them on his campaign website:

He's a good man with the right ideas. That's why the media is so damn antagonistic towards him - they're scared shitless because they KNOW americans in general agree with what he is saying, and if he were to receive equal media coverage to the "top tier", this race would be over before it even began.
The stances are under the "issues" tab.

Ron Paul blames America for 9/11. He wants to abolish the CIA.
I blame the cocksuckers who hijacked the airplanes and flew them against our buildings killing thousands of our brothers and sisters.
Vote for someone rationale. Since I'm not running that leaves Rudy G, and Mitt R.
Boy, red herrings and straw men abound...
I'm glad to see someone is brainwashed by the media spin. Paul does not blame our country for the terrorist attacks, he blames our persistant meddling in other people's affairs. It's called "blowback". Middle easterners have had it against us since the IranCONTRA affair, where the "holy" CIA overthrew the democratically elected Iranian prime minister Mohammed Mossadegh because he wanted to nationalize the country's oil industry. Read the books that Paul suggested that Giuliani read. Also, wouldn't you be pissed as hell if there were Chinese military bases in the United States? I know I would. Same deal.
He does want to shut down the CIA... but so what? The terrorist attacks happened... it's not like they prevented them. And if the damn anti-terrorist agencies spent less time squabbling between one another they'd be much more efficient - getting rid of one is a great way to do that. In fact, the CIA has done a lot of twisted shit to foreigners that would be so blatantly against our constitutional principles that the idea should make you cringe. There is nothing holy about the CIA.
Romney is a two-faced career politician who will say anything to anyone to get their vote, and Rudy is a 9/11 opportunist. Go ahead and vote for those people. If you're going to rely on media spin instead of thinking independently, they deserve you. The founders would be spinning in their graves.
