Reports MTV.com: “While his fellow students are hooking up with whatever presidential campaign they think might pad their résumé or land them a cushy post-graduation job, University of Southern California senior Jeff Hubbard wants to do nothing less than change American history.

Paul is also intent on abolishing the Internal Revenue Service and returning to the gold standard, and blames American foreign policy for the 9/11 attacks.

“‘I had just finished taking a class called ‘Terrorism and Genocide,’ where we discussed the emergence of al Qaeda and Middle Eastern politics, and [soon after] I saw Dr. Paul during one of the Republican debates, citing some of the reasons we learned in the class on why America was attacked. And it was refreshing to hear this logic from someone running for president,’ explained Hubbard, 21. ‘I didn’t know much about him until I saw the debate, and my ears perked up, and it got me thinking, ‘This is interesting.’ It got me searching his voting records and stances. The more I learned, the more excited I got, because of his principled record.'” Read the rest of Gil Kaufman’s story. (Thanks to Brad Funkhouser.)
