So far, I see no evidence of that.
But you still have to wonder why they exclude him from all these polls after the fact?

Why do they construe the numbers on their polls that they include him on? Why did they remove him after the fact?

I am a Ron Paul fan, but I'm also a realist, I know that more than likely he's not going to be elected. But his ideas are change, which I believe that the system doesn't want to have right now.

You have to admit that the news organizations are up to something funky when it comes to the Ron Paul "phenomenon".

What kind of evidence do you need to see?

Ron Paul events turn out more people then events he is excluded from. Post debate polls seem to indicate his supporters are tuning in at an incredible rate.

We have well over 100,000 supporters nationwide. About 50 of them gathered outside of Fox HQ to show their contempt for the network. They acted like immature kids would act when faced with a completely unfair situation. That group doesn't define Ron Paul, or his supporters. Deep down Jallman probably knows this, but again, doesn't care.
I agree, a lot of his supporters are younger kids. Younger kids.. even though they're old enough to vote aren't very mature... well a lot of them aren't that mature.

It's sad to see that the message he's pandering is only falling onto the ears of the younger generations who are tired of seeing the older generations **** this country into the ground.

for now.

We will be resuming the debate over the greatest generation ever fairly soon.

The liberal media likes to paint the worst generation as the best because you dolts rolled over and gave into everything.

What's funny is they left us an enormous debt and think we are going to care about their SS checks when it hits the fan.

Let's be honest here.

Ron Paul's supporters could care less about the democratic process. They want to see their candidate on the ballot and could care less whether he gets there legitimately.

There are well over 100,000 supporters nationwide of a voter eligible population of 202,746,417 as of 2004 meaning approximately 0.0005% of eligible voters support him. About 50 of them gathered outside of FOX HQ to bully and assault a representative of the network. They acted like immature kids, period. That group of fifty comprise exactly 0.0005% of Ron Paul supporters. If we want to talk about how groups within groups are representative, the numbers aren't going to lie.

ARealConservative probably knows this, but as a Ron Paul supporter, doesn't care.

Yes. let's be honest. We are already on the ballot. Why? Because we respected the democratic process and went around getting signatures for ballot access.....legitimately.

Your debate skills are pathetic.
