Problem is, I have a hard time voting down the nuclear power plant workers....

[JamesButabi]

I don't participate with Time anymore. They put out a feeler video asking for video responses and votes from the people.

We had nearly a thousand video responses and trumped the actual voting by a longshot to which they not only ignored but didn't even give RP a mention.

Im all set with that.

[eduardo89]

Voted and bump.

Ya, that would be a great angle for how he was able to influence 2010, was the election of his son into the Senate, the whole Tea Party thing, etc..

[RideTheDirt]

Vote the other candidates down starting at the ones right above him. I did this and he jumped to 26. (not including the power plant workers/other people like them)

[acptulsa]

So don't. We're probably better off letting him come in right behind them.

[Jeremy]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but these people are already the TIME 100 for 2011 and the poll is pretty much useless.

[dannno]

Weird, I can't vote "No" for Conan O'Brien

Also I went to vote "No" for Netanyahu and the verification words that came up were "highjacked curAire"

When my friend deleted his facebook the captcha was: Threat McVeigh - creepy as hell (I saw it happen)

[thehighwaymanq]

Currently, 25th!

[TomtheTinker]

bump

[kah13176]

Voted for RP and Julian Assange.

I'm down-voting OP's list plus Sheen, Gingrich, Kardashian, Lady Gaga, Wisconsin's Senators, Biden, Beyonce, Bieber, Vick, Romney, Paul Ryan, Obama, Palin, Petraeus.

And...it won't let me downvote Gingrich

Fuck those guys. Keep going. Lets see what we can do.

Also, vote down whoever happens to be one spot ahead of Ron Paul. That effectively adds up to two votes for Paul. We are already rising pretty fast, we just need more momentum

Yep! They must be jealous because we're the best spammers of them all!!!! lolz ;)

[JerseyRP]

I know Ron Paul has been the most influential man I know in 2011. I hope you all feel the same. Be sure to vote him up, and maybe some Neo-Cons down :)

[Dave Aiello]

This is VERY VERY important. Needs to be posted front page on RPF and Daily Paul

Short List of those to vote "YES" for:

Ron Paul (27th)
Julian Assange (25th)
Bradley Manning (106th)
--
Jeff Bridges (64th, and just because.)

Short List of those to vote "NO" for:

EVERYONE ABOVE RON PAUL, plus especially:
Barack Obama (21st)
Hillary Clinton (18th)
Michelle Obama (5th!)
Joe Biden (40th)
David Petreaus (58th)
Chris Christie (94th)
Scott Brown (100th)
Mitt Romney (no chance)
Paul Ryan (no chance)
Sarah Palin (no chance)
Marco Rubio (no chance)
Michelle Bachman (no chance)
Jon Huntsman (no chance)

Also, we need to PETITION to Time to INCLUDE RAND PAUL! How can they include people like Paul Ryan, Jon Huntsman, Michelle Bachman, without including Rand?!?!?!?

[heavenlyboy34]

we've already got a thread on this. http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?286243-Vote-Ron-Paul-in-Time-s-Mag-100-Most-influential

[IDefendThePlatform]

Voted.

And we are getting shellacked right now. RP in 27th place, with 928 votes. Top vote getter has 7500+

C'mon people!

[Dave Aiello]

Who runs the Ron Paul 2012 facebook page? This needs to be posted.

[goldencane]

Chris Colfer must have some good "spammers" as well.

He's a homosexual, so they came out to support their guy.

+1

I think we can all agree that this is an online poll with some real potential influence.

[QueenB4Liberty]

C'mon people!

was that the fukishima workers?

I voted for Ron.

[Dave Aiello]

We need to make sure we're not JUST voting "yes" for Ron. We also have to vote "no" for the others!

[messana]

Check out the comment section:

Like how all the pro-Obama folks spammed the poll last year?

[QueenB4Liberty]

That's crazy Michelle Obama is 5th.

[Wren]

clear history->vote again

[Zippyjuan]

Curious poll. It is actually measuring "most popular" while trying to search for "most influential". Those are not necessarily the same thing. I see "Rain" as one of the top vote getters. Is that as in the weather? Yeah- last year's poll ended up having nothing to do with their final list anyways but voted.

[Ray]

I just got like 15 people to vote. Over 1000 yes votes now :)

Edit: Are you guys downvoting everyone else too?

[eduardo89]

Who runs the Ron Paul 2012 facebook page? This needs to be posted.

I'll write him a message right now.

[Dave Aiello]

clear history->vote again

+rep.

[Thomas]

I think this is pointless because in the past Time has just removed Ron from the poll no matter what place he was in. I also don't think this has any bearing on who they choose. Still shared on my state page and the secret admins group.

[Wren]

Thanks. Another protip: clear history->open a bunch of tabs with the Ron Paul page and click on "yes" on all of them (don't submit yet), then fill out the captcha and submit 1 by 1.

But remember what happened the last time RP was in one of these polls? :p

[BuddyRey]

^ Great...now I crave cake.

[pauladin]

time magazine won't have ron paul as most influential no matter how many votes he gets. they snubbed julian assange for person of the year and they'll snub ron paul too.

Who are these 170 voters who are claiming that Ron Paul is not influential? Are they innocently ignorant, and randomly making claims which they have no evidence to back; or are they intentionally propagating propaganda? I generally adhere to the philosophy that there aren't stupid questions, only stupid answers; but in this case I must make an exception. The fact that Ron Paul ranks as a candidate on TIME's poll for the top 100 most influential people in the world, would seem to indicate that Paul has some influence. Next time, maybe the editors at TIME should review their own candidates, before they start asking every uninformed or misinformed goober, who can manage to stumble his way onto the internet, who isn't influential. :confused:

[eduardo89]

I think opening a new incognito window on google chrome also works. it's easier and better than clearing history

Holy shit! Ron Paul is crushing the opposition from what I had last seen. So few dislikes compared to the top-tier competiton. Fuckin' A right!

[BucksforPaul]

voted!

[thehighwaymanq]

RP currently sixth! WOW! What a jump in a day

[chudrockz]

Keepin' er bumped! Voted last night, as well as voted "down" some of his more idiotic competition!

[brenden.b]

We are losing to Lady Gaga??? Ugh....I voted...

[Romulus]

Voted

[goldencane]

Wow, Rain got a huge push. He's got over double the second place person.

[Carehn]

Who is Rain? I feel so out of it. I have never heard of most the people in the top ten. No joke man.

[chudrockz]

We are losing to Lady Gaga??? Ugh....I voted...

That's absolutely terrible. It cannot stand. I didn't see her or I would've voted her down, down, down. Argh.

[civusamericanus]

I repeat myself! Regarless it's still better we win ALL POLLS. Keep their feet to the fire. When other GOP potential candidates win, they make a big deal, when Ron Paul wins they may dismiss it, but we need to ALWAYS stop the competition from getting traction!

[cdc482]

He's in first place now by 500+ votes! If you keep it up he'll win in a landslide

[kah13176]

He's #7 now. I think we need to upvote Julian Assange too; he is much more likely to beat out these shallow, talentless pop artists. He's in 3rd.
