Oh no! Someone used a pretty common word of modern merit that also applies to a situation quite conveniently. How dreadfully conspiratory of MULTIPLE people to use the same word! Dare you be more dramatic in your understanding that like-minded people will try to be polite in a like-minded fashion? How absurd that people STILL rail on a mass of support for some candidate that THEY don't approve of. Let people have their say and if it's about your accounability of not truly defining a represntation of your party, you stand at fault for being wrong twice.

I came here looking for REPUBLICAN news, but found news about LIBERTARIAN RINO Ron Paul instead.

I am sure that this is just an oversight and that when I go back to your page it will be corrected.

This is ridiculous. More people than you pundits-for-hire are interested in Ron Paul. Why can't you accept this? Why don't you let the American people decide who they want for president instead of steering the public perception based on a hunch you have about "ronbots". Why don't you let the data speak for itself. If the internet polls indicate that the "internet demographic" loves Ron Paul, then that'll become clear down the road. But if you tweak the results now, that'll have a downstream impact.

The internet is the new printing press. People who want to learn the truth for themselves, go to the internet to do their research rather than swallowing everything, hook-line-and-sinker, that mainstream media throws out. Ron Paul is a new Martin Luther. His message isn't coming to us via the "approved sources" (like the papal heirarchy in the 1500's), but it's getting into the public's hands - slowly, but surely - despite mainstream media's best attempts to sweep his message under the carpet.

P.S. I am sure that this is just an oversight and that when I go back to your page it will be corrected.

I'm saddened to see blogs like this one that still do not have the courage differ with the almighty FOX, CNN, and NBC.

One other thing I wanted to mention. The fact that Ron Paul dominates the internet polls, is no reason for anybody to get too worked up. For one reason or another, the kind of people who have time to putz around on the internet (college-age kids, etc.) really like Ron Paul. They're also the kind of people that are familiar enough w/Google to look up internet polls & vote on them (or text message a vote in). This is a SMALL minority of America. Most American voters don't spend time on the internet daily and certainly don't care to find a poll and vote on it. This shouldn't threaten people so much.



Personally, as a Ron Paul supporter, it's a positive indicator that there are more people out there who believe in small government and agree that Ron Paul is a true statesman with the courage to speak unpopular truths rather than comprimise for votes, but I think nation-wide Ron Paul support has a long way to go (outside the internet) before it'll turn into a real hope of actual election.



As long as internet polls take place - the candidate with the most "internet supporters" will rank high. That just happens to be Ron Paul. I don't personally know the methodology behind the "real polls" , but it's my guess that they get a better picture of Americans across the board. As much as I'd like to put stock in internet polls - I just have to take them for what they're worth - people who hang out on the internet like Ron Paul.



Final comment - why aren't ANY other candidates getting spammers the way Ron Paul is? Do people with small government, low tax, non-interventionist foreign policy ideals happen to also all be hackers? I have a hard time believing that if spamming was the real culprit - there wouldn't be some spammers on other teams.

Amen to the comments above me.
The majority of people who have time to think for themselves come to the same conclusion.

GOP Bloggers, you are running a website on the internet, and the majority of internet supporters support Ron Paul, a GOP candidate.

It may also be interesting to note that Ron Paul has received quite a large amount, if not more in donations from military personnel than any other candidate, on either the republican or democratic ticket. (not that many in the military would give to someone on the democratic ticket)

Any way you look at it: from what he says, his voting record, his personal life, or any other angle you look at Ron Paul, he comes out to be the most Republican, conservative, and pro-American candidate.
