    What they lack in numbers they more then make up for in exuberance and willingness to annoy the hell out of others. Also alot are independents who cant vote in some of the closed primaries.

    But if you ask them, they will tell you they are the only ones who care about this country. Nonsense

    while you're so clever, and % to instruct this, why no longer %. a ballot, and obliterate it. Then do it 10 extra circumstances. Make it instruct that David Duke gained the ballot each and every time, or another impossible to assist loser (point out his/her call right here first). that would instruct that those polls might nicely be altered via a huge sufficient degree to instruct as such, or perhaps then, they are meaningless. until eventually then, for every physique that makes use of this line of attack, tin foil is your buddy - in many circumstances the simplest answer is the main suitable one. perhaps human beings on the information superhighway are inherently extra inquisitive and knowledgeable than those that basically watch television for his or her information. i'm 37 btw.

    Only nutjobs are supporting Ron Paul. Paul raised $28 million, compared to $41 million for McCain.

    It takes about 30 seconds of learning about Ron Paul to know the guy is a crazy loon, which is why he loses even though his fellow loons have contributed big time.

    majority of Paul supporters are information junkies - where do you get the most information from -the internet - if everyone did this instead of just watching the news they would also be supporting Paul -but not everyone is an information junkie or some are but they get their info from one or two sources -

    ps -go to political questions you will see Paul supporters try to back what they say with facts where as the majority of others(not all) will use rhetoric- best example of this is jessisbeautiful who is a diehard Paulite but states facts figures numbers etc -and may have been reproted as I dont see her around anymore

    They vote, there's just not enough of them. Libertarians love the internet so that's why there are a lot of Ron Paul supporters on the internet. Libertarians were all over the internet back in the days of usenet and dial-up so of course they know how to use it well.

    Call the Chair of the Washington State Republican party and ask how many delegates did Ron Paul get? He will tell you 902. He will tell you McCain got 600 and I don't even care about huck - he's only in the race to disrupt. (his platform by the way, sounding more and more like Ron Paul... funny)

    So why do you believe he has no real support? Because you listen to what you are told, by people whom we should believe, but who are controlled by government and lying?

    Why did Fox stop reporting the results at 36%? That alone should give you a clue of what they're trying to make you believe. Ron Paul raised 6 million dollars this quarter. Who else has done that? and... has the media even touched it?

    They are passionate about their candidate and I give them major props. But he has had a book scheduled for release in late-April and this entire campaign has a feel of a book tour, the way Eugene McCarthy - post-1968 - would crank out a book around the New Hampshire primary and use a political forum to plug the new text.

    Ron Pauls supporters do vote, however his support isn't properly represented online. That is to say that the majority of voters don't spend the majority of their time on messge boards, and political discusion sites as many of the Ron Paul supporters do.

    actually thats because Ron Paul supporter hear about him too late. I actually was able to change party affiliations to vote for him but my friends in CT, FL, CA were too late because their deadlines were so early.

    So my family went to the polls to vote for him but they wouldn't let them as they were registered democrats and the voting center gets charged $500 per person who votes republican when they are registered democrat or vice versa it could be bs but I havent' found anything pro or against so am not sure if we were just not allowed to vote.
