Ah, doh! I missed it again.

This is a great fan video analyzing the rudy vs ron debate moment. The narrator did a really good job.
Man that guy's delivery sucks.

Man this guy is interesting. I'm really starting to appreciate his posistions a lot more than I have in the past weeks. I come here maybe 40 times a day to see if anyone has linked to new videos of his.

Wow, he absolutely HANDLED that interviewer. Totally turned the tables on all of those lameass criticisms.

What does it say when all these people in the political establishment are making such efforts to attack him? Nobody is attacking Tom Tancredo or Tommy Thompson or Jim Gilmore or Duncan Hunter or any of these other worthless hangers-on who haven't articulated a single meaningful point of view. The whole point of having debates is to get people with opposing point of view to contest each other so that we can improve our understanding of the issues and see which ideas have merit. Who wants to watch a debate with a bunch of undefined candidates all agreeing with each other on the issues and just using different rhetoric, where the winner is the one whose language is most persuasive? How does that help the country?

It says they find Paul interesting, just like you guys. I've said it before: if the media really was out to get Paul, they'd ignore him. Paul wasn't on the media's radar before, but now with the buzz about his 9-11 comments, they have decided that he's an interesting story.

Whether they continue to pay attention depends on him continuing to say unorthodox things or an increase in funding or support.

Because it shows their "character." The republican debates are a contest of righteous indignance, because the status quo is too stupid to think about the issues and it's far more effective to stand at the podium and act shocked and offended and berate your opponent whenever someone questions 9-11 than it is to debate it ideologically. Logic tends to get you percieved as a "flip-flopper."

Go democracy.

No, I'm not talking about the news media, I'm talking about politicians and partisan political pundits like Sean Hannity, Byron York, et all who go out of their way to denigrate Paul any way possible, while being nicey-nice with all the other wannabes.

Oh yeah and Wendell Goler is an iddeyott

Re: ***Official Ron Paul video thread***

I'm amused at how offended libertarians are at Sean Hannity. Lberals have known for a decade that Hannity is a douche.

However, I'm excited that people who never really cared about politics are getting behind Ron Paul. I've said before that I was surprised at the disparity between libertarian thinking in the internet and poor vote totals. If all it took to correct this was the right candidate to get behind, great.

Re: ***Official Ron Paul video thread***

Where can we get recent polling results for the general population? I've heard people say he's under 1% now but what would the odds be that Ron Paul would be able to get up to over 10% of the Republican nominee votes? It will be interesting to see how much, if any, the buzz on the internet translates to actual votes in the real world. I've never really followed something like this before so I don't know if there has been a precedent.

This appears to be a decent summary of recent polls.
