Excellent commentary submitted at reddit:

You say Ron Paul doesn't have a chance?

But who is giving you that idea? The major media outlets.

Do I have some evidence to support that statement? Yes.

Here is a link to Google Labs search statistics.

You will clearly see that Ron Paul is the number one search amongst the comparative terms of: Ron Paul, Hillary Clinton, Barrack Obama, Rudy Giuliani, Mike Huckabee.

You will note that Dr. Paul (light blue) is researched FAR MORE by general internet users than any of the other candidates.

I mean its not even close! Searches for Ron Paul simply dwarf the others.

Why? Probably because Freedom is popular.

However, in the second graph, you will see that despite eclipsing all other candidates in terms of raw searches, the fact is that in terms of news coverage on the net, Ron Paul as the LEAST COVERED of the five named people. The most popular candidate name searched on the net is the lowest reported on the net.

Interesting, is it not? Even further below on the page you will see that by state, Ron Paul also dominates internet search activity.

What does this mean? At the very least it means that Ron Paul is far more popular than you are being told.

I believe we are supposed to accept the message that he has no chance, and they give us that message by simply ignoring the single most popular candidate in the field. It's not just an internet phenomenon either. Ron Paul is cleaning up the large majority of straw polls, and Republican Parties all over the country are reporting that the swell of registrations are due to Ron Paul supporters, and the number of Democrats switching to Republican is unprecedented.

This massive gap between search popularity and news media reporting is a story in itself, and yet mostly unmentioned. Am I supposed to believe they just forgot? Are we supposed to trust these same news organizations whose "polls" rate Dr. Paul so very low? In several major news media polls, Mr. Paul is not even offered as an option to choose. Several non-partisan media analysts have written extensively about the major media outlets ignoring him. It's all out there if you look. If YOU look. If you wait for reporting, you will be waiting a while.

And yet, despite this transparent slanted journalism, Dr. Ron Paul is receiving record-breaking amounts of support. In fact, on this very day, in remembrance of the Boston Tea Party, the People supporting Ron Paul are setting records for rate of donations and unique donators. It's happening today, RIGHT NOW. As I type this, the campaign just passed 14M USD. This is happening primarily to generate some news coverage. It's historic. You can be a part of it if you want.

History in the making! See it a plot showing Tea Party 2007 compared to 5th of November
...this one's very popular, might need to reload it.

Don't expect your Democrats or other Republicans to make any real changes. At a recent debate, not a single Democrat would commit to pulling troops out of Iraq before 2013--the very same Democrats who keep saying its time to get out of there. The Republicans seem to have climbed aboard the Big Government train along with the Democrats, apparently to erect Huge Goverment together. Where will it end?

[not to mention the democrites!!]

Ron will debate little goebbels on Tuesday

[henn peck the chickenhawk]

About ANY of the unelectable heads offered for your consumption.

Just because Paul is TheLeastCrappy tasting candy shoved into your collective faces (They KNOW you are using the NET for your info) And following there Default (Good Guy Image) is no security that Paul's head will not spin the second he gets the oval luny Bin.

Be Most CAREFUL of what you wish for.

Politics as usual is DEAD. Get used to it.

MASS marching on the mall 100 million strong is going to be required to rid American Government of it's current cancers and decay.

Denial is TOXIC.

Secrets are DEATH.

Above board is the ONLY way for ALL.

Dear Ron Paul Supporters,

Thank you for the AMAZING support today. Let's spread the word to the OLD MEDIA and New Media as well about Ron Paul's support.

Visit this Yahoo! News story, rate it, and e-mail and IM it through Yahoo!'s site

Best Regards,

Video of one the marches:

"No one will believe them if someone other than Ron Paul wins the republican nomination - clearly he's the most popular."

True, but the Ghoul (who is the least popular) will win the Republican nomination by a narrow margin. Then Hillary will trounce the Ghoul so severely that she won't even need electronic voting machine scams. This will enact a plan that was drawn up a year ago, and will have a bonus effect: it will make the masses think there is democracy after all, since Hillary will not need voting machine tricks.

Jews own and control the USA, and the majority of them have chosen Hillary.

If there really were democracy, then Ron Paul or Kucinich or Gravel would win.

Ron Paul Campaign Iowa Announces Press Conference in Wake of Record Fundraising

DES MOINES, Iowa--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Republican Presidential candidate Ron Paul has raised more money in one day than any other candidate in U.S. election history. The Ron Paul campaign took in more than $6 million on December 16th, 2007, breaking the one-day record formerly held by John Kerry.

Dr. Paul will speak at a press conference at 12:45 pm on Monday at the Des Moines Marriott in the Des Moines Room. Members of the press are strongly encouraged to attend, as the candidate will not be immediately available throughout the day.

(Qrs: one of our favourite soundtracks ;)

Cafferty: Question: If Ron Paul can raise over $ 6 million in one day, and consistently raises more money than any other Republican candidates, then why is Paul so low in the polls?

I think we all know the answer to that one.

Whenever a Presidential election comes around, TV channels – at almost every commercial break – say, “such and such is leading in the polls.”

This is designed to make people such as Ron Paul supporters feel helpless and outnumbered, so they continue to roost on the couch.

What they want you to think...

..old beast, new beast; same beast..

This is great. I just posted a message yesterday at President Ahmadinejad's Blog and suggested he send a small donation to the Ron Paul campaign as a gesture of friendship and goodwill. I know foreign nationals cannot contribute to American political candidates but Dr Paul could keep the check and use it for Public Relations purposes. It would give the Establishment media heart seizures if Dr Paul showed them a donation check from the President of Iran, lol.

British Ron Paul Campaigner Gets Ron Paul's Message Through on Iranian TV Network

Thu Dec 20, 2007

Iranian TV Network invites John Mappin, Ron Paul supporter, media owner and songwriter, onto its international TV network to present the opportunity that the Ron Paul candidacy represents to the US and to play Inner Truth a newly released Song for Ron Paul from Camelot Castle.

(PRWEB) December 22, 2007 -- Yvonne Ridley who is one of the most respected mainstream journalists in the UK and who now hosts a TV show called "The Agenda" invited John Mappin, who last week announced his media group's support for Ron Paul in the US, to appear on a news show that was supposed to be discussing what Hilary Clinton's chances were in the election. Ron Paul however quickly became a predominant topic of discussion. As you will see when you watch the show at the link below, Ron Paul's ideas and his campaign quickly grabbed the interest and the attention of the panel of political and media experts who agreed that Ron Paul's nomination would indeed split the Democratic vote and it was clear that the amount of voter support for Ron Paul may well be underestimated.

The show can be viewed in its entirety at Press TV's web site:

Press TV also aired, in full, the song "Inner Truth" which is dedicated to Ron Paul and which shot to number one in the UK last week on Utube when it was released by John Mappin from Camelot Castle in England. The song and clip which can be seen on U Tube here are creating thousands of allies for Ron Paul.

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=jQpeldFJG_Y

John Mappin was delighted with the way that the program developed.

"It became quite clear to me that the mainstream media has really been caught off guard by Dr. Paul, even those who should be aware of what is occuring with US voters have no idea of the sheer size or the impact and power of the Ron Paul campaign," said Mappin.

"Interestingly Ron Paul's campaign for Freedom is not just a phenomenon that is limited to America. It's Global," said Mappin.

"I am certain that we will now see other Ron Paul like leaders emerging in other countries across Europe, the Middle East and Asia for they have learned from the positive response to Dr Paul's wisdom and will now create political campaigns of their own along the same lines," he continued. "God knows, we need a Ron Paul in England immediately. Truth and wisdom cannot be stopped by even the thickest armour plate and whatever the mainstream media try to do to block Ron Paul's message, in the long run they will fail."

He added, "The fire of freedom is already well ablaze and will not be put out. It is somewhat ironic that an Iranian TV network based in a country that is often presented as a supposed threat to freedom is giving Dr. Paul the airtime that he deserves."

Yvonne Ridley has an extraordinary track record as a journalist of integrity and principle. Captured by the Taliban in 2001, she became a household name, as the world watched with bated breath as her imprisonment and release from captivity on the first day of bombing in Afghanistan grabbed the media's attention.

She has since continued on in her campaign to help diffuse inaccurate and bigoted misunderstandings between the West and Islamic cultures. She is the anchor and presenter of "The Agenda" and one of the most influential journalistic voices on the international mainstream media and political stage today.

"It is no surprise to me that Yvonne Ridley is one of the first mainstream journalists in Europe to give appropriate notice to Ron Paul's Campaign. Yvonne has a history of delivering in her role as a journalist of integrity and is second to none when it comes to searching out the truth and exposing it," said Mr. Mappin

Please contact Press TV at theagenda @ presstv.com and let them know your views.

Jeder war ein großer Krieger
Hielten sich für Captain Kirk

I was glad to come
I'll be sad to go
So while I'm here
I'll have me real good time

Now watch the mainstream media seize the opportunity to declare Ron Paul a 'terrorist' for having 'ties' to the Iranian president. "We interrupt this program to bring you the breaking news that Iranian dictator Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has endorsed Texas Republican congressman Ron Paul for president in an overt move to undermine the national security of the United States blah blah blah.."

"Early reports say that the congressman has not as yet rebuked the Iranian president's endorsement.."

..yah, we're not quite ready for that one yet.. just give 'em the airtime and no donations from the republican guard, they can make up when RP is elected..

So far he's on top with 28% of the vote, followed by Giuliani, who has 17%.
