Why are so many liberals turning to libertarianism

Maybe its just me but it seems like so many liberals that I know turn to supporting Ron Paul. What is it about him?

I mean he opposes Abortion and stem cell research and wont fund efforts to curb global warming. Oh and No government support on healthcare.

so what is it about him...is it the fact that he wants to eliminate the income tax? or is it the fact that he is one of the few republicans that oppse the war in iraq?

I just dont see why any liberal would support this guy. And no im not really a liberal..Im pretty much moderate leaning towards liberal.

just curious

His anti-war and anti-rules stance.
