Ron Paul big on 'Net, but media don't notice

WASHINGTON
Of all the interesting little fish swimming beneath the currents of the major candidates in this presidential campaign season, none is making waves as surprising as those kicked up by Rep. Ron Paul.
The Texas Republican, who embraces a libertarian point of view, has been riding an unimpressive 2 percent in the polls, but if the presidential election were held in cyberspace, Paul would probably win hands down.
Paul's supporters flood online polls, such as the unscientific survey ABC News invited viewers to join after the Republican debate last Sunday. Yet, you could barely find the Texas doctor in the network's after-debate coverage, despite the vigorous applause he ignited with his call for an immediate withdrawal from Iraq.

I’m his base and I’m not loonie. I suspect you really don’t have anything substantial to say on the subject.
Uh huh....
You may not be a loon, but a disproportionately high number of loons comprise his base.
“Central Texas Confederate”????
Ummmm...Oh, nevermind.
“Uh huh....”

I support Ron Paul. I've told friends about him, friends who were discouraged that there were no real conservative candidates for President. He'll get a couple of extra votes this year thanks to me.
It ain't much, but it's something.
Misunderstood, I though you were suggesting he’d approach his internet poll standings in public polls.
Hey, John Cougar Mellencamp sounds like he might be a big fan of Paul!
the "Neocons"... code for "Jews"...
I think he’d like gore more.
Hee hee! Here’s a celebrity wish list from the aPaulogists. I see the Dixie Chicks come right to mind:

I dunno about that. After all, when Gore was VP, he supported the resolution for regime change in Iraq. Mellencamp didn’t even want to respond to Afghanistan. Sounds more like a Kucinich/Paul guy.
If Paul should decide to run as a third party candidate, whose champagne do you think he’ll be peeing in?
What are you suggesting? Rush Limbaugh, William F. Buckley, George Will, Robert Novak Paul Weyrich etc etc etc, all use the term NeoCon!
Hopefully everyone’s.
Interesting that you are attempting to expand and change the meaning in order to assert your obviously racist tendancies.
I didn’t know that.
Three strikes.. he’s out.
LOL!
I prefer beer!
I don't think you are. I believe Paul's base comes from three very different groups:
Hopefully the globalist neo-cons and the globalist Marxists.
