Ron Paul surges past Obama

I've been waiting for this to happen. It was inevitable, but it is still encouraging.  Sometime yesterday or today, Ron Paul became the leader in the only YouTube statistic he had yet to lead - most  views of any candidate, not just Republicans.  He has long dominated Republicans on YouTube, but Obama still led in total views, mainly because he started first.  Well, the turtle just passed the hare.

Congratulation Ron Paul!!!

Ron Paul is now 1st on YouTube, Meetup, MySpace, Technorati, Alexa, Clickz, Google, etc.

Ron Paul places 1st or 2nd in every straw poll, debate, and active participation survey.

Ron Paul has a good chance of winning. The old media is just too slow to realize what is happening.

Do not listen to the so called 'Scientific Polls'. Ron Paul is not included in the cleverly woven questions pollsters are asking. This has been well documented. Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton were doing about the same in the 'Scientific Polls' at this stage in their elections. 'Scientific Polls' at this stage only measure name recognition. Over the next six months Ron Paul will gain name recognition. Most people who learn about Ron Paul become major supporters.

Ron Paul is the only major candidate not owned by military-industrial-complex, big business, special interest, etc. Fight the system and vote Ron Paul. And tell everyone you know. Now is the time to set ourselves free.

70% of Americans want us out of Iraq and want change.

Ron Paul is only republican candidate against the war.

Ron Paul only needs about 35% vote from republicans sick of the war and abuse of powers to win in republican primaries.

Dr. Ron Paul is the man of integrity and courage that America needs at this time.

We are making history -- Vote Ron Paul!

Ron Paul has the novelty factor, but he is a rightist nut. He isn't even the libertarian he pretends to be.

By the way, I've seen most of the comment above on another forum that looked at the Ron Paul campaign in a very different way.

libhomo, that's not much of an argument. What particularly do you disagree with Ron Paul about?

I'll say that I disagree with him on several issues, but I support him anyway because he won't do anything unconstitutional. In this age of "preemptive" war and spying and lying, I'm happy with constitutional.
