YouTube Removes Ron Paul from Election Page

[wowabunga]

The home page for "YOU CHOOSE 08" no longer has Ron Paul listed... just McCain. This is so wrong.

Here is a direct link to their comments form to send them some lip:

My goodness we just can't seem to get a break. So we'll need to make our own...! What do you think of going back to the door to door boots on the ground canvasing to get the message out. We'll need a flashy newspaper and dvds. We need to do something quick. Oh... the message and production quality of the materials needs to rock. Far better than anything we've yet produced ( aka Rising Tide raised the quality bar up where it should have been... lets move it ).

That's really sad because Paul was the king of youtube

Youtube didn't remove Ron Paul. Ron Paul removed Ron Paul. Didn't get enough votes. Thanks for playing! Try again in 4 years.

God damn it, why isn't this guy banned? All he does is go to threads and say the same exact thing. Fuck off.

he sticks around because you let it get you worked up.

While it's unfortunate that youtube pulled him, I don't think RP is really fighting such actions anymore. I don't think his presence in that section will have any real impact anymore.

Last time I checked, getting enough votes isn't required to stay in the race unless someone has been declared an official winner. That can't happen until the convention. Try again?

Hahaha, wow j650, you are so subtle! Good job, you earn a star!

+2 for getting rid of this ass

Flag him, and PM Cowlsey.

I know you guys don't like to hear the truth, but that's just the way it is. If Ron Paul were still relevant in the Presidential race, he'd be up there. It's as simple as that. He hasn't even won a state and you guys are acting like he's right on John McCain's heels. I wish they wouldn't take him down either, but I understand why.

As a favor to myself... tomorrow I will go out of my way and mention Ron Paul's name to 10 total strangers. Take that stranger.

Don't be sad... do something. Use the Youtube form and send a message. Down load some fliers off the web and hand them out.... simple photocopies will work... the "message" is all that matters... get the "message" out...

Yeah, he wasn't relevant in Missouri. whatever... guess you're gonna vote for Obama since it'd be beneath you be against the blatant slandering of him now?

Ron Paul is still in the race, because he's raised the money to stay in it. All the others are out, because they ran out of money. He may not have gotten a lot of votes in some primaries -- after being smeared and ignored by the press -- but he has substantial grassroots support and still has money to continue. No other candidate can make that claim, including McCain, who has virtually no grassroots support, but who has name recognition, and substantial free press coverage. All the other ex-candidates have run out of money (except Romney who tired of spending his own money).

PLEASE BE KIND AND PEACEFUL.
Explain that we are disappointed and that neither Mike Gravel or Ron Paul have dropped out and are still in the race. We deserve equal coverage. We are the ones that pay the YouTube/Google bills. BE KIND!!!

It will be the first time in History that democrats run uncontested to presidency.

Why not wonder how the media will respond if tomorrow the sun turns blue? Both have the EXACT same probability of happening.

Well...let me clarify...I mean to people who exist in THIS reality they have the exact same chance of happening.

And Joeseph...how about Alan Keyes? You can't have it both ways. Either they should include everybody who hasn't officially dropped out (and therefore Alan Keyes) or they should only include people who have ANY chance of getting the nomination, in which case it is McCain, Obama and Hillary.

After all, Alan Keyes has just 16 delegates less than Gravel and Ron Paul combined. So you shouldn't be counting him out.

And MKetcher...that money is quickly running out. If you think that is why he is stil in it, then you better start donating again. Even with this weeknd's purging of the payroll, he is not getting enough in donations to cover salaries, let alone salaries, and every other expense.

And by the way...the reason why the others are out is NOT because they ran out of money. It is because the race is over. I hate to break it to you, but it is. If you really want ot do good, you would acccept that and move on to the next phase. Otherwise, no one will take you seriously ever again, and that doesn't help anyone.

Last time I checked this was still a free country to do as we please... so said... I'll be spending my all Spring and Summer waking people up. If phase 2 is educating the masses (as we are told to do by Jefferson) then I'm all for the next phase.

As far as acceptance... I can't see how a populace once awakened would accept any of the likes of McCain, Hillery or even Obama. Tell me more about the next phase please... Until then I'll be waking people up. Woke up a gal today who's a mover and shaker in her profession... it was a very good day.

Democrat or Republican, it doesn't matter. Unless the masses wake up to reality and come to our side, this will be an election of false choice. No matter who the masses vote for, they will get the same result.

LR puts it best:

So November will probably bring another triumph of American democracy, McCain and Clinton, that is, a left-neocon against a right-neocon. The voting charade will, once again, showcase the real meaning of official democracy here and around the world--an election the neocons can't lose.
