In the past we have seen some noteworthy Presidential candidates that turned out to be the dark horse in the end when they ran as independents and snagged just enough of the vote for the other guy to win. It was always clear who was going to stick around as the dark horse independent, but this time around it seems that the likely independent will more likely snag the Republican party nomination and be on the main ticket. At least, I certainly hope it turns out that way, because he's already got my vote.
Who am I speaking of? The congressman from Texas. The only candidate that mentions the constitution as part of how he will change the direction of our nation. The only candidate that has the guts to point out the real reason for September 11th and not hide behind the statement "The terrorists hate our freedom, war good, mmkay" as Giuliani does. That clown actually asked him to retract his statement at the debate in order to make himself look tough on terrorism. The only candidate still gaining in campaign contributions, and not only that, but all of his campaign funds are coming in small donations from regular hard working people, not large lump sums from corporations. Heck, he's already raised nearly another million in October alone, and we're no even halfway through the month. I am talking about Ron Paul.
Recently CNBC pulled the post-debate poll off of their website because Ron Paul was at around 75% of the vote, which obviously can't be accurate. They accused Paul's campaign workers and supporters of flooding the poll and 'hacking' the results. Even if that were true, it's amazing that the media reacts to normal people doing it, but not major corporations rigging presidential elections. They claimed that since his support in the online poll didn't match other polls conducted over the phone, it couldn't be trusted. How many of you have ever actually been polled over the phone? I know I haven't. I've had friends that worked for a polling company that sat around all day calling and polling people, and they say the only people they talked to were old retired people, because they're the only ones sitting around at home in the afternoon with a LAND LINE. Besides, in a telephone poll the polling company can pick who they call (even though they say it's random, how am I supposed to believe that on their word alone?). Whereas an online poll is open to everyone that wants to voice they're opinion. It's just too bad that when they voice an opinion the company doesn't like, they are forced to take down the poll and resort to slandering the candidate.
Out of Thirty-Five Straw Polls conducted at debates and other live functions, Ron Paul has placed first in Sixteen of them, and second in Six more. He dominates the online polls, and the youtube page dedicated to his videos receive over 4.5 million views from more than Thirty-Two thousand subscribers since March of this year. All I had to do to find that youtube page was type in 'Ron Paul' in the search and it was the first or second result.
I did the same search with Rudy's name and pulled up more videos slamming him and calling him on all of his crap without a loyal page in sight.
Hillary Clinton's channel was pretty low in the search as well underneath videos that were not in her favor. Even then her channel has struggled to get close to a million views since July of -2006-! It's been up nearly a year longer and still doesn't have a fourth of the viewings Paul's channel has garnered in little over six months.
Mitt Romeny's channel has been up since January of this year, two months longer than Paul's, and he has less views than Hillary at just under 800,000.
John McCain's channel has been up only a month longer than Paul's, yet he's only sitting at just under 500k views, not too mention a couple of not-so-nice videos before finding his channel in the search.
Fred Thompson only recently threw his hat into the ring, and his youtube channel has only been up since May of this year, so I guess it isn't too surprising only 57k people wanted to see one of his videos.
The only other Presidential candidate running to get onto the ticket for their party that has more views than Ron Paul is Barack Obama. His channel has been up since September of last year, and he sits at around 11 million views, but only has a third the number of subscribers as Paul.
After looking through three to four pages of search results on youtube I could not find one video that tried to shed a negative light on Ron Paul. Each of the other candidates, asides from perhaps Obama, had a handful on every page of search results. Why is this? Is it because there is no dirt on the congressman from Texas?
Check out this clip for yourself and get an idea of why Ron Paul is garnering so much support on the internet despite being purposefully ignored by the mass media.
And here's another video giving some more background on Ron Paul. Watch both of these and educate yourself, then go vote in the primary, then vote in the presidential election.
It is only going to be because of people like you, people that turn to the internet rather than just the mass media for their source of information, that will change history come the next Presidential Election. When Ron Paul wins the presidency it will show the corporate world they can no longer control the population through the spin of the mass media. The truth is out there, and because of the internet we can find it for ourselves after we deny the lies they feed us. It should say a good deal that of all the candidates, Ron Paul is likely the only one that has voted against attempting to regulate the internet.
You vote. You decide.
