The f...Do not believe what you hear about Ron Paul. The followers are growing and very real. We all attended a "Ronald Reagan Republican Club" function where they had a straw pole. I was there. I'm part of a meet-up group in Pierce County Washington, one of 33+ thousand groups. We met up there and voted and won their straw pole by a majority vote. Not Internet emailers, but real, live people. Educated people. Sophisticated people. When it came time to speak about our candidate from the list, not one person spoke until they got to Ron Paul and then a well-spoken person from our group got up and spoke intelligently. We were very proud. People against him are doing nothing but showing his straight voting record and it appears extreme, but his ideals are very, very simple. He believes that the constitution of our country is based on solid ideals that we have gone away from, sometimes almost entirely. If you understand economics, as he does, since he studied economics and serves on the board of banking committees, that what is happening in this country is destroying the middle class and everyone below that income level, then you will understand why he votes the way he does. The rich are getting richer and the poor getting poorer and you are becoming poorer. And every one of you who is probably reading this is not above that income level. Inflation is eating away at us. Ron Paul is a super intelligent person. He is not a fool and he's not a radical. What we have now is radical. Much of what goes on in this country is unconstitutional. Please, please, liberals and conservatives, open your eyes. Let him lead us back to truth and freedom. He is on your side, every one of you. He is for the people, the right of all people. Get behind him. If you think he only has 3% of the vote right now and a max of 10%, than get behind him. Join up. Let's not be forced into choosing someone who has been chosen for us. Let's put an honest man who genuinely loves this country and the people of this country into power. All we have to do is join together and there will be nothing that can stop it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20333851.post-86014888604468849632007-07-11T18:57:00.000-05:002007-07-11T18:57:00.000-05:00Spamming means sending unsolicited emails.

Nothing is preventing OTHER candidates' supporters from urging their people to go vote for their candidates. So one very important thing these poll results show is that supporters of other candidates do not have anywhere near the enthusiasm, commitment, and dedication that Dr. Paul's supporters have.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20333851.post-83688171678732470242007-07-05T10:09:00.000-05:002007-07-05T10:09:00.000-05:00Thanks for doing the research, and painting a more...Thanks for doing the research, and painting a more clear picture.miekechttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01258786529185335850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20333851.post-17509938235729269932007-07-01T08:06:00.000-05:002007-07-01T08:06:00.000-05:00given the large amount of ron paul blog spam comme...given the large amount of ron paul blog spam comments i've recieved in the last week, i have to believe that <BR/>a) his supporters are using bots to game the system <BR/>b) he has no ethics to speak ofAmiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14503643076729028837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20333851.post-35115080906684393772007-06-28T13:08:00.000-05:002007-06-28T13:08:00.000-05:00You neglect to mention the Ron Paul supporters tha...You neglect to mention the Ron Paul supporters that ONLY digg Ron Paul articles. That's just as bad as the anti-Paul profiles. They both create digg spam by pushing Ron Paul stories to the frontpage via 15+ automatic votes. This gets them out of upcoming stories every time.<BR/><BR/>The problem with the Ron Paul supporters on digg is not that they have an agenda, it's that they are not transparent. Full disclosure in their profiles, i.e., listing the Paul blog you write for in your user profile as "jefffrazee" should do (his blog is studentsforpaul.org), would give them credibility as supporters and not just "gamers."<BR/><BR/>Bloggers are asked for full disclosure of their agenda. The same should be asked of diggers with agendas.INTERNET!https://www.blogger.com/profile/04527973225998634080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20333851.post-82205667857137766422007-06-24T13:27:00.000-05:002007-06-24T13:27:00.000-05:00Easy to remove COINTELPRO/Agent from your Digg fri...Easy to remove COINTELPRO/Agent from your Digg friends if it's in there - go to your profile, click the Friends tab, find the icon and click the X beneath.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20333851.post-45893334540134125332007-06-07T21:00:00.000-05:002007-06-07T21:00:00.000-05:00What if the powers that be are actually the ones g...What if the powers that be are actually the ones generating the spam and not the Ron Paul supporters.
