Thank you for ignoring and marginalizing Ron Paul, our next President.

In the past three days alone, you contributed immensely to a gain in his base, and exposed yourself for what you truly are--liars.

Best regards,

The Paulbots

You would not BELIEVE all the pro-Paul traffic on Twitter...He has attracted a LOT of new voters because of this. It's as if the scales have fallen off the sheeple's eyes.

Amazing.

Hey, just go to twitter.com and search @ronpaul. The experience will wipe away every tear.

I know my dad is pissed and he's a democrat. He can now see the BS as well. I just hope this has a widespread affect and the campaign and Ron specifically uses it to their advantage by bringing this up in the next debate. If the last debate got 5 million viewers then that would be the best time for Ron to pick a fight with Romney/Perry and maybe the commentators if he's only getting 1 question per 30 minutes.. I can see it now, "Ron Paul comes out swinging on everyone!"

I don't do Twitter. (yeah, I know, I'm old) But is there a way someone could collect a bunch of these tweets so we could look at the comments? It would also be good for re-tweeting purposes - I think you can do that. There'd be some +rep in it for ya...

People are literally Tweeting pro-Paul comments from all over the world. I saw Spanish, French, German and Chinese (or something that looked like Chinese.)

If that's true, we can re-tweet these things and make a real splash! This could be a story of its own! Do you see the potential here?! Dude, get this going!

Not when I typed in "Ron Paul" they aren't. Someone posted about him being racist, another said he doesn't deserve more air time, another tweeted about how his supporters are crazy, another said we're 19 year old pot dealers who mess with polls. Don't get me wrong, there's a lot of pro-Paul stuff on there, but we still have a lot of work to do.

Three new Ron Paul supporters on my FB by Saturday night after I posted the Politico Headline picture. they all said that the Media will NOT decide who they vote for.

Those are very few and far between. I just went over there and I did see a new crop of "He's a racist" comments, which are easily refuted. Those are the Obama clingers-on that remain, which are dwindling in number, trust me.

Half of the haters are democrats who wouldn't vote Republican in the primaries anyway, or even know what a primary is.

Ron has seriously gained a slew of new fans from this. Go and look for yourself. It's incredible. I think a lot of it has to do with that video of the CNN/Politico guy saying that it's their job to kick out certain candidates and marginalize them.

A lot of these are probably kids who won't, or can't, vote.

In a sense this is all pretty humorous, think about it, if this is all they got, we are in better shape than we even know! I was hearing lines of, we decide who is top tier, also you only had to see the straw poll numbers to see he did very well. Google trends and Alexa had RP, MB, and Ames straw poll, top 5 for two days! Tens of millions saw he did well, in my opinion, and the media either attacked him, ignored him, or just said we control reality! I don't care how dumb people are in this country, I'm sure that jolted many people to go whoa! I'm late to the game, I've been seeing off years, were they praise Paul, simply to make their outfit look legitimate and unbiased. But now, my mind has been blown! I saw it all and it is incredible!

Like I said they don't know what to do with this guy, and if this is the best they got, we are in GREAT shape! Remember Rand? When all outlets and media organizations started bashing him, everyone takes notice, and it only solidifies in people's minds that the Media is bad news and they aren't to be trusted!

My girlfriend is Korean and has known about Ron Paul since 2007. She's actually asking me about him right now as she's sitting next to me and has noticed his picture on top. Not that she can vote in the US or anything (nor can I, I'm Canadian) but there you go.

On the Obama vs. Paul question: that's easy. Obama supporters should prefer an Obama - Paul matchup given the issues that would be discussed compared to Obama vs. Bachmann or whoever else. Just remind them that Obama's already in for 2012; what decides the theme of the election is the GOP nominee.

You know one really excellent possibility is reaching a very large number of Korean Americans via the Korean language newspapers.

If someone were to write a simple article explaining Dr. Paul's history and positions, just an honest picture of him, and have it featured in the main papers of L.A. and N.Y., soooo many people would know of him.

Starting a group could also be very beneficial, as anything forming real community is always an excellent thing, IMO.

Amazing.Anything on this morning's MSNBC Morning Joe? There were a ton of us on twitter sending Scarborugh the RP close 2nd, (0.9%) from 1st and the subsequent collaborative MSM blackout. I wonder if Joe mentioned anything during the show. He likes RP and has some clout over the Producers agenda.

Something that I have noticed is how important those papers figure into getting information to the pretty tight knit community.

Sure,we have our own national 'twitter' in Chinese,since the website of twitter is blocked here.

Even so ,there are a lot of people spreading Ron Paul's words in China's 'twitter'.

Is there a market for Russian Americans? I could do some translations for y'all. (I plan on translating RP's books/essays for Mises Institute anyway) I can imagine it already-Рон Паул на русскком языке. :) :cool:

Hi Suzu !

Wish I could help you with that.

I have never twitter'd, facebook'd, and gave my first rep only few days ago.

Hope someone will chime in,

or perhaps you could start a thread ?

You can leave out the @, but if you type it as "ronpaul", you will see underneath "Results for ronpaul" it will have a drop down menu, then you can change that from "top" to "all", and it will have all the latest tweets.

Also if you search "ron paul" it has many more tweets, but remember the drop-down menu to get all the lastest results.

Hope that helps.
