a) Ron Paul’s message is being spread far and wide, REGARDLESS of the final outcome of the race. His educating of the populace will have far-reaching effects.

*see the following:

b) The media censorship and/or maligning of Dr. Paul is waking up more and more people to the fact that the mainstream media lie/distort, and therefore can’t be trusted any longer.

*See the following:

c) I think Ron Paul will continue to do MUCH better than anyone expects, thereby forcing the evil power-brokers in the media/government to take drastic measures in order to silence him and his message. THIS will end up causing a mighty revolution of which they cannot control.

Why do I have the sneaking suspicion that there aren’t going to be any polls of that kind?

His five minutes with Tucker Carlson prior to the last debate is excellent. He does a very good job explaining his views about foreign policy as well as domestic spending. There is post further up on this. Go watch it. There are only a couple of comments at this time so it doesn’t look like to many of the posters here have seen it.

I will be voting for Ron Paul if I get the chance.

Almost each comment made by Ron Paul supporters and people hearing the message, have made intelligent and insightful points that are varied and different then another’s. From YouTube to News sites, to blogs like this one…people who support Ron Paul write comments using reason and a clarity of mind that is unparalleled in public discussion when observing the objective reality of Mass Media and reality.

It’s amazing, it’s as if people are actually thinking about these things for THEMSELVES.

I wonder if MSM can handle that?

But the internet does.

And people who are supportive of Ron Paul is getting wider as his exposure grows. Its not so much the man himself people are turning on to, but it’s the IDEAS he’s expressing and supporting.

People can think for themselves when given choice, the internet is giving that choice and reality will reflect that when the time comes to vote.

Support Ron Paul and the ideas of Liberty.

I have personally turned over a dozen family and friends to ron paul’s freedom message. and i am probably only average among his supporters. any amount of money could not hire people like that. at least since the 1980s we have awaited this opportunity
and we feel this is americas last shot at preserving our liberty. even if rp had only thousands of supporters, just do the math. its a while before the elections. give me 1 cent, double it each day, i will be a millionaire in a month.
and don’t underestimate the power of the internet, and the alternative media…remember when apple and microsoft were laughed at by big blue ibm.
how about yahoo and google.and what about those puny little “rice burner” cars from japan…
beware, the 21st century is upon you.it is
old school politics and the mainstream media that are becoming irrelevent…

I can’t believe that anyone for any reason can be “eliminated” from an election by poll numbers. If this is the case then our Republic is doomed. All of these candidates should go all the way to New Hampshire, and perhaps a few states beyond that before anyone can make any determinations about anything. Remember Buchanan in New Hampshire in 88 ? Remember when Reagan was considered an oddball ? I am so sick of polls i could spit.

Ariel Sharon was right when he commented, “we run America.” Either the GOP reinstates Ron Paul’s brand of old-school Republicanism or all right leaning swing votes need to vote EN MASSE for the strongest competitor of whoever the GOP nominates. I for one will vote for Ron Paul even if I have to write him in. Sorry, I don’t support McCain’s pending War on Iran. I think Bush’s foreign policy has created more than enough terrorists for the next century of Americans to deal with.

Robert H. Jackson
Do we believe this or are we just trying to look smart.

Are we a bunch of wussies? Who cares what those media whores think about Dr Paul? He is putting his life on the line for us. Those guys get get paid big bucks to push whoever pays them the most.

Dr. Paul will only fail us if we fail him. Pressure the Republican Party to keep him on the debates. Let them know, that we know, what they are up to, and we will make sure the Republican Party will fade into the history books if they do it. Just because he is not a neo-con mouthpiece, does mean he is not a Republican. Lets show these jerks the true power of the internet and America.
Get pumped up guys, this just the beginning.

And that is what matters. Having 10,000 enthusiastic supporters does not mean as much as 100,000 half hearted voters.

If people care about Paul they will contribute and volunteer. If he has money and workers it will mean something. Otherwise he is just another Internet bubble.

Let me explain how the likely voter thing works:
1. You give a lot of money, so your information is published by law
2. The pollsters get this list, which is of likely voters, for free

Any questions so far?

Ok so even if you are likely to vote (i.e. my mother who served as an election judge for years and always votes, never got the polling packets & phone calls I did) you aren’t counted. Because you did not get on the list, because you didn’t give money, and since money is god in America, it’s all that is really measured.
