the thread title is profoundly misleading...

who cares who's posting the Pro-Paul YouTube videos? in his campaign or out, the fact is he's the most watched candidate on the net...

online campaign that may be a fake grassroots movement organised by party staff.

give me a break... so now we're suggesting that Paul's web popularity is merely the act of a few geeks refreshing the page all night? lol...

Is Ron Paul actually running? I forget. I only read his name here.

The point seems to be: no one really cares.


Same goes for Kucinich.

Sorry if that hurts the feelings of those who support these candidates, but the reality is they have gained no substantial public traction. Both are on the fringes of the debate, too far off into conspiracy theories and the like. Again, no offense intended.

No harm, no foul.
Which conspiracies are you talking about?

Also, why do you think it is that they are not heard from? It may be their poll #s (I'll give you Kucinich), but that's not the case for Paul, who is doing better than Thompson, who is indulged for his neo-con jive and his "mainstream" sensibilities

More than anything, it's a numbers thing. Alan Keyes has not officially retired from the campaign, has he? Yet, he hasn't been seen on TV, invited to debates, etc., for a month. He's got a narrow message, too. If one's message appeals to only a few, they don't get coverage; if no coverage, they don't have a prayer. So to speak.

So not only does Paul have to have better numbers than Thompson, but he also has to have a mainstream message, one that makes for conventional, conformist agreement among the powers that be. Is that what you're saying? Are you willing to go along with Status Quo forever?I doubt it.

Ron Paul is a true patriot. He cares about the country and the constitution.
