At 4:46 p.m. ET today, Congressman Ron Paul's YouTube channel registered 10,001 subscribers! Dr. Paul now has nearly twice as many subscribers as Barack Obama who is in second place.
Here are the current numbers:
Paul - 10,001
Obama - 5,768
Clinton - 3,212
Edwards - 2,764
Romney - 2,014
Kucinich - 1,732
Giuliani - 1,389
McCain - 1,259
Gravel - 885
Richardson - 790
Biden - 589
Hunter - 402
Dodd - 230
Huckabee - 205
Tancredo - 190
Brownback - 96
Gilmore - 50
so?
who’s Ron Paul?
Maybe the other candidates now will depart from their carefully scripted non-answers to even the most basic questions.
But that RIGHT, the Paulites aren’t interested in REALITY, they merely seek self validation for their rabidly ignorant, emotionally hysteric feelings about the world.
“who’s Ron Paul?”
Someone who wants us to legalize drugs and run away from the war on terror.
Also possibly a Truther
You know the guy RINO love to hate. He reminds me of Ross Perot who was gaining in the polls then blows it with bone head moves.
WOW.....all those views and he still registers 0 percent on any credible poll. Must suck to be Ron Paul.
Anybody but Rudolph, The Ignorant.
Well, that settles that.
Does he make candy bars? Oh wait, that’s Peter Paul.
And McCain, Hillary
“Anybody but Rudolph, The Ignorant.”
Well I want either Tancredo or Paul, but I’m basically “any republican but Giuliani” too.
You're the second person I've seen make this claim. I've never seen any evidence of it, but I'm curious what is behind the accusation.
I realize Paul believes our foreign policy created the hate - a position I disagree with (Tancredo is right, killing us is a dictate of their religion), but I'd like to know where the claim comes from.
Yeah, right. AND offers the election to William Jefferson Clinton. THANKS!!!
Well put. These nothing little bits of "evidence" that Paul is gaining strength only show the desperation of his followers. If ANY other candidate bragged about having 10k people looking at them on Youtube, we'd be laughing at their lackluster impact on the national conscience.
well, I suppose he has to win SOMETHING!
I know you know, but for those who don’t, he’s the Libertarian who wants to run on the Repub ticket for prez.
He looks like Ross Perot, has the same initials, comes fom the same state, and is just as big a kook as Ross.
Just watch the video of that meeting between Paul and the Student Scholars for 9/11 Truth:

Student: So I just wanted to say, you know, we’ve talked to Dennis Kucinich and he says that he’s willing to, you know, investigate it. He would advocate for a new investigation.
Paul: Into 9/11?
Student: Yeah, into 9/11. I mean, if it was Dennis Kucinich and you, there’d be congressional support. You know what I mean? So you wouldn’t be the only one.
Paul: It’d be bipartisan, too. And I’ve worked with Dennis a lot on a lot of these issues.
Student: So I mean, would you advocate for a new investigation into 9/11?
Paul: Yes, I think we have to look at the details of it.
There could be a better investigation because there’s a split in government. So I would certainly consider that and think it could be worthwhile. If you do the same thing over and over again, you’re just spinning your wheels. But I would certainly work with Dennis. So I’ll talk to Dennis and he’s in a position now in the party majority, so he might have a better chance with it.
Student: Yeah, he has subpoena power and everything, so...
Paul: And we’d have a better chance of getting a new investigation. Too often investigations on almost any issue is usually a cover-up.
Student Scholars for Truth:
In regards to Rep. Ron Paul, he states twice in the Student Scholars video that he believes that the first 9/11 investigation was one in which there many “cover-ups.” Paul also claimed he “never automatically believes anything the government does when they do an investigation.” Additionally, he has been on the Alex Jones show several times. Ron Paul knows very well that something is very wrong with the official explanation of 9/1l. However, like Dennis Kucinich he cannot look right into our cameras and proclaim “9/11 WAS A SELF INFLICTED WOUND!” Through acknowledging the legitimacy of the 9/11 Truth Movement’s concerns, these candidates are expressing their support for our cause.

Paul’s Truther-y appearance on the Alex Jones show back in January:
CALLER: I want a complete, impartial, and totally independent investigation of the events of September 11, 2001 . I’m tired of this bogus garbage about terrorism. Ask Michael Meacher about how he feels about this bogus war on terrorism. Can you comment on that please?
HON. DR. RON PAUL: Well, that would be nice to have. Unfortunately, we don’t have that in place. It will be a little bit better now with the Democrats now in charge of oversight. But you know, for top level policy there’s not a whole lot of difference between the two policies so a real investigation isn’t going to happen. But I think we have to keep pushing for it. And like you and others, we see the investigations that have been done so far as more or less cover-up and no real explanation of what went on.

He claims America is poised to manufacture a Gulf of Tonkin incident to go to war with Iran
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6d8MIENVtKw&eurl=
Let’s see:
1. He supports Dennis Kucinich’s desire for a fresh, Truther-friendly investigation into the “cover up” of 9/11.
2. He goes on Truther radio shows.
3. He suggests, Trutherifically, that the US will phony up a fake attack by Iran on our troops (probably killing Americans, as we may have done on 9/11) in order to have a pretext to bomb the mullahs. So, you know, if Iran actually does fire on American warships, his supporters will know it’s actually all a contrivance by the US government. (As was Iran’s taking of British hostages, presumably. As was the Khobar Towers bombing, presumably.)
