My parents are solid republicans... 4 months ago they said Ron Paul is a horrible candidate. My folks are 68 and 70... they are not internet surfers. They pretty much are Fox news watchers... I was to until the Judge got hung. (still watch stossel) but that's about it.
I spent an hour trying to convince them, that the MSM is not giving them the whole and true story. So to the internet I take them. I started with 4409 showing the passion they have for RP. Then played the story of the mixed race couple he helped as a doctor. Next played his Imagine speech, then pulled up the official campaign website with all Dr. Paul's points and beliefs....
Well guess who they are voting for?
Why isn't the Tea party all over Ron Paul. his message is EXACTLY what they were demanding 2 years ago,., oh how people conveniently forget/ignore their principles because of brainwashing
People for Ron Paul... our target group to convince is the baby-boomer generation and up. Every person over 60 I encounter ALL hate RP's foreign policy but because of MSM the have NO CLUE to the facts!!!!
PUBLIC OPINION > Ron Paul's Online Support Is Impressive

It might seem a little strange that Republican candidate Ron Paul is doing so poorly in the primaries when he seems to have so much public support, but much of that support is online. An article by Yahoo! News suggests Paul's supporters are not nearly as populous in "the real world" as they appear to be online. And as a result, the presidential candidate has virtually no chance of winning. But the Internet is, and will continue to become, an important part of campaigning, so maybe he's on to something. We asked the public if his online support is as impressive as it seems.
Not everyone is impressed, but a narrow majority are. Granted, it's a little tough to objectively gauge an online phenomenon through the Internet, but there's not much else you can do. One reason Paul might be doing so well online, and we'll have more on this in a bit, is that he appeals to young people. One commenter wrote, "He is the only GOP candidate with a significant young following. I think that is impressive for a 76 year old candidate. It is also the reason why he does so much better online. Phone surveys are weighted toward an older demographic. Internet surveys to a younger demographic."
Libertarian Love
Yes, libertarians were very impressed, but that's about it on the political spectrum. He failed to impress most liberals, conservatives, and moderates. The libertarian base appears to be his main source of fuel, although he did snag 30%-40% of the rest, which is saying something.

That commenter was right, teens are fond of the Internet support. That doesn't necessarily mean they'd vote for him (though it is a good indicator), but it does mean the Internet campaigning is popular with the kids. Obviously. We'll have to wait another four years to find out how they'd actually vote... That is, if Paul tries again at age 80.

Oddly enough, smokers were significantly more likely to be impressed with Ron Paul's campaign. Our best guess is that it has something to do with the libertarian tie, especially following that attempt to require graphic warnings on cigarette packages. The government is not looking good to smokers.

I do not think this country is ready for such a fine and illustrious presidential figure as Ron Paul. None is wiser than him and more qualified to be president of the United States than his fellow running mates and the incumbent. But when the wicked rule the people mourn. I have been mourning a lot and I see a lot of people mourning around the country. OWL Labor is entrenched against capital and TEA capital against Labor.
The LORD will keep Ron Paul where is more useful to us all because he is not as expendable as the rest, incumbents included. I believe that for Ron Paul, this is not about winning, but about the establishment of a presence and expanding his Moral, patriotic and libertarian message. May the LORD bless Ron Paul and his posterity now and forever. It would be sweet to see him or his son in a presidential ticket now or in the near future when iniquity is swept from this country. It will be a shout of victory and joy for what will be left of the American people
“When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.”
(Old Testament | Proverbs 29:2)
Here's your next president...whether they re-elect Obama or not.

Plus, the votes are rigged anyhow. The people in power have already decided the outcome, just like pro wrestling.
I think Ron Paul is deliberately being sidelined and we are being defrauded.
I am very afraid of what may shortly come to pass if the American people choose iniquity time and again. I know of a principle of truth that when applied it gives either the expected or the hated results. This is the principle. It is not common that the majority of the voice of the people chooses that which is not right. But it is common that the lesser part of the people chooses that which is not right. And if we are thus far preserved it is because the majority has chooses what is correct. But since you said that at least from the past three elections people have chosen corruption and we have suffered much decline as a nation ever since. Now when the time comes that people chooses iniquity again you will see an increase of destruction or deeper decline of our society until the cup is full and we suffer the whole wrath of God.
I do not know this of myself, my ancient fathers left a book in which they explained this principle to our people, upon these lands but they did not listen. They were time and again destroyed upon this continent u...

I do not know this of myself, my ancient fathers left a book in which they explained this principle to our people, upon these lands but they did not listen. They were time and again destroyed upon this continent until they degenerated completely and few were left. They had kings but they changed from that to a form of constitutional democracy as we now have in America. Unfortunately their civilization was destroyed from within as America is being destroyed from within.
Here is the account:
And behold, now I say unto you, ye cannot dethrone an iniquitous king save it be through much contention, and the shedding of much blood. For behold, he has his friends in iniquity, and he keepeth his guards about him; and he teareth up the laws of those who have reigned in righteousness before him; and he trampleth under his feet the commandments of God; And he enacteth laws, and sendeth them forth among his people, yea, laws after the manner of his own wickedness; and whosoever doth not obey his laws he causeth to be destroyed; and whosoever doth rebel against him he will send his armies against them to war, and if he can he will destroy them; and thus an unrighteous king doth pervert the ways of all righteousness. And now behold I say unto you, it is not expedient that such abominations should come upon you.
Therefore, choose you by the voice of this people, judges, that ye may be judged according to the laws which have been given you by our fathers, which are correct, and which were given them by the hand of the Lord.
Now it is not common that the voice of the people desireth anything contrary to that which is right; but it is common for the lesser part of the people to desire that which is not right; therefore this shall ye observe and make it your law—to do your business by the voice of the people.And if the time comes that the voice of the people doth choose iniquity, then is the time that the judgments of God will come upon you; yea, then is the time he will visit you with great destruction even as he has hitherto visited this land.
