Matt Stone and Trey Parker have identified themselves as both Republicans and Libertarians at times. Check out this interview from Reason Magazine:
Reason: Each of you at various points have called yourself libertarian. Is that an apt description?
Parker: People started throwing that word around to describe us right around the second or third season. They would sit us down and go, “So are you libertarian?” And I would always say, “I don’t know, am I? You’ve seen my stuff.”
I still don’t really know the answer to that question. I think I am, though.
Stone: I think it is an apt description for me personally, and that has probably seeped into the show. But we never set out to do a libertarian show.
...
Stone: ...I guess that defines my political philosophy. If anybody’s telling me what I should do, then you’ve got to really convince me that it’s worth doing.

It seems to me like they are VERY likely to be Ron Paul supporters. They have both identified as libertarian / conservatives, plus they seem to be very supportive of independent thinkers and reason. If you watch South Park, they always cut through all the modern bullshit and really get down to the heart of issues, the logic behind them.
Any word on if they are confirmed Ron Paul supporters? We should email them or something if not. I think they would be GREAT to have on our side.
