Analyst Predicts One Million Ron Paul Supporters Online by 2008

Quote from Maverick74:

Let me ask a honest and sincere question here to all the Paul-heads here. Be honest, how many of you have actually donated cash to his campaign? Seriously.

But I am very curious how many of you are actually backing up your talk with your pocket book. I suspect almost none of you are.
I have and a lot of my friends here in Austin, TX have too. Talk is cheap, financial backing and grassroots support (volunteering time) is the key.
 
Quote from Maverick74:

In order for a guy like Ron Paul to be successful, you need many Ron Pauls in the House and Senate. So that is where you start. Not with the White House.
...
I also live in the real world and that shit is not going to happen. But if it really makes you feel better to think it will, then don't let me spoil your wet dream.
your point of view is supported 99% of time. that is the
strength but as well the weakness of your argument.
you assume the 1% does not exist. which is plain wrong.

while i believe that you are basically right about the
size of projects and the likelihood of getting them through
i could imagine there are quite some hidden supporters
who pop up once things gain momentum. but sure,
all this is within the 1% case ...
 
Quote from Maverick74:

Ratboy, I applaud your enthusiasm but your suspicions are unfounded. I am not trying to paint anything of Paul. I accurately pointed out that while Ron Paul has a cult like following among young people, as Howard Dean did in 04, that will not translate into votes if these young people do not financially support him and even bother to show up to vote. His 5 million is not enough Ratboy and you know that. Yes, it may have surprised his people (of course they are going to say that, it's called spinning) but we both know that even though we live in the internet era, money is still money, and it usually speaks the loudest.

I am undecided. I may not even vote. I have no interest in any of the candidates. So asking me who i like is pointless if I have no interest in them. I would like to see more debates and have these guys go after each other more and stop being such kiss asses to each other. And yes Ratboy, there are other candidates that have not yet entered the race. Ever heard of Michael Bloomberg? Not that I would support him either.

The candidate I wanted to get behind is not in the race and is not even a Republican.

Why don't you lead by example?

Ron Paul is the reason I actually bothered to fill out a voter registration card. And now that you have mentioned it, maybe I should make a donation and maybe volunteer. At the least, I can spread the word and I have.

The media hates him, that fascist Giuliani hates him, odds are against him, but it's worth it just to make a statement. He stands for the issues that truly matter.

It's one thing to stay undecided when there are no real candidates, just a dog & pony show. But this is not the case.
 
Quote from Avid_Consumer:

maybe murdoch just supports the candidate he feels will produce as much divisive talk show content as possible. it certainly seems a big switch from gw to hillary
rupert murdoch and fox news is a real threat to the USA
in my opinion. and consequently to this very planet. the
fact that bill o'reilly was allowed to do what he did in
public for so long is inexcusable. fox is the modern
version of nazi-propaganda and i am aware of what i am
saying. very, very concerning. like the pact between
republicans and evangelicals.
 
If Dr. Paul can even just reverse the creeping fascism and damage to the Constitution - that alone would be worth supporting him. If he gets anything else done, fine.

It's funny. Similar scenario played out in the late 60s early 70s. Bad war, bad president, military-industrial complex, ideologues hijacking the government and the people under 30 leading a charge for change. This time it's the echo-boomers.

I'm hearing of a lot of people turning out for Dr. Paul's events and a lot of people are only just starting to notice him since he appeared on the debates and Rudy McRomney attacked him. Then they go on the net and read up on his views.

He's changing the national dialog. The old "terrorism" canards just don't fly anymore.

BTW - anyone interested should go read up on what happened after the Reichstag bombing and subsequent passing of the enablement laws in Germany - for the protection of the German people - which allowed Adolph to seize absolute power in Germany. Very interesting how they resemble things getting passed today. There's just nothing new under the sun.

But it could never happen in America, right?
 
Quote from Sihastru:


Washington D.C. (PRWEB) June 10, 2007 -- An online analyst at USAElectionPolls.com observes that Ron Paul, a Republican presidential candidate, is continuing to grow in popularity.

Despite languishing near the bottom of the presidential polls with 1%, Ron Paul has become an Internet phenom. As a favorite of the youthful 18-29 year olds, he has become a household name for those that frequent the popular Web 2.0 websites such as YouTube, MySpace, and Digg.


In other words, its probable that the majority of Paul supporters are not registered voters.

My prediction stands: Paul will be out of the race before summer is over.

i have supported ron paul for 10 yrs.

Wow !! You are to be commended there Ratboy.

It's a rare person that gets involved in politics when they're only 6 yrs old....
 
Here's an interesting question. I'm surprised this has not come up yet. Let's say Ron Paul get's the nomination. Who does he select as his running mate? Since most of you hate all the candidates out there, this could pose a problem.

He isn't getting the nomination and he will run as an Independent. Which I assume is possible even though he is a Republican.
