Ron Paul
-
In case you haven't heard - Ron Paul is a libertarian candidate for the GOP nomination who is anti-war, pro small government. He has recieved consistently high scores in online opinion polls that included him (Many only include the ones that represent certain interests). According to many polls he won the debate in the Reagan library. ABC is now claiming that the apparent popularity is because of poll spam. However, if you look at YouTube - he's gotten many unique very positive reviews, he's very popular with people I know - internet savvy people who are also fairly non-conformist. I think the MSM are bald faced lying to try to surpress this GOP candidate because the special interests - both on GOP and dems want the war to continue. Judge for yourself based on his answers in the debate: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_oTzFMuU_M (It's six minutes)
A cynic is a man who, when he smells flowers, looks around for a coffin.

-H.L. MenckenSounds interesting. I'll have to wait until I get home to check out the video. Out of curiosity... if he's Libertarian why is he running for the Republican nomination? :confused:

He is a Republican, but a small-government Republican. He isn't as extreme as the libertarians in the Libertarian or Constitution Parties. He has been quite popular in his Texas district, even though he has definitely does not follow the party line. And he was consistantly returned to office.

-H.L. MenckenUnfortunately, small government was the fundamental platform of the entire Republican Party until Bush screwed that up.

Many votes, I am guessing by the same IP address - although I would think any web designer worth his paycheck would be able to filter that out. They just dropped his name several times from the options for GOP candidates and now they are clearing the blog-roll after the online story on the debate. Very suspicious. Good old 1st amendment is only for pushy media types and criminals, I guess.
