despite all this acrimony and confusion, it would be nice if ron paul's FB likes went into 7 digits!

[Respect38]

Woops, thought I already had that liked.

Thanks, OP. It's liked now.

I bet there's more people like you out there.

Now at 990,218

Let's be thankful with what we have, but yes, I can't hardly wait for 1,000,000!

[squirekyle]

FYI, we've been averaging a little over 1,000 likes a day recently, so we should be there no later than the end of June, probably sooner.

[squirekyle]

My mom was the 500,001 "LIKE" a few months ago, shows how far we've come in a short amount of time.

[RDM]

SLOW DOWN!!!

You're gonna mess up my prediction I made back in Oct. 2011.

I thought this would be kind of fun to see what people's predictions would be.

Just a note: The page has been receiving approx. 1,000/day

Post your thoughts.

Thanks.

I'll start it off. My prediction is by July 2012 (Fourth of July)

Its really amazing how constant the growth in "Likes" still is.

Now at 990.409 and the numbers grow literally everytime you actualize it: https://www.facebook.com/ronpaul/likes

[Havax]

Whoever runs the facebook page should post an update with a link to @RonPaul on twitter (and vice versa) - would instantly bring in thousands of new followers and likes. Also, Ron's twitter page is poorly constructed. They should have Ron's picture as his avatar and not some logo. The logo is already accomplished in the background. The info should say "tweets signed "-RP" are directly from Ron Paul". Obama does this with -BO and it's a good idea. More personable and no confusion as to when there is a ghost writer or not.

Think of each like as a soul that has broken out of the Matrix and has fully awakened and come to our side. It's quite amazing when you think that there are a 1000 people each day that 'discover' or 'get' Ron Paul.

It's also important to 'like' other liberty candidates' pages: http://bit.ly/LW9xDd

Give them a much needed boost. If we all support our own en mass, we will be a force to be reckoned with. It takes a few secs to go like page, but it makes a big difference. Do it! NOW!

997,850 - only 2,150 left to go. It will either happen sometime tomorrow night or early Tuesday morning the 19th. He got over 2,000 more likes today apparently.

Back when I liked him I think he had 120,000 or so. Last year my friend was the 300,000th to like him. Then suddenly the likes grew exponentially. The big one million is a milestone few celebrities are able to achieve - particularly politicians. Ron probably has almost as many likes as all other members of congress combined.

He will hit a million likes today on facebook. Not bad considering most of his supporters don't have a facebook account. I didn't get one till this year and will probably delete it soon. Don't really care to know the minute details of what acquaintances are doing daily. Some of these people really just need a blog, then they can dump facebook and email their friends and tell them about their blog. If their friends care they can check it out from time to time, if they don't they never have to see it. I predict facebook will die when more people realize you can share the same info with friends on the Internet without letting facebook have a record of everything you do and a right to use it as they see fit.

People have made threads every 100,000....but the 1 million is the ultimate mark. Few celebrities are able to achieve that level of greatness. It's just one way of showing how big the movement is getting.

Do we have any other pics of it? Squirekyle and I have pics on either side of the 1,000,000 point and both say the 33k number....

I want to give him the benefit of the doubt, but we need moar pics!

Its odd though that mine was still at 33k just 1 "like" before. Facebook must have been glitching in some way or another. I do believe maxoutco now... its just weird.

[squirekyle]

Yes, currently it has 50,637 talking about Ron Paul on Facebook, so I'm guessing that IS a valid screenshot.

[Kregisen]

Why would you guys even care if a screenshot is fake? Does it even matter? Why would someone even spend the time to make a fake picture at 1 million likes?

Geeze some people have to get out and do something if your whole life centers around Ron Paul's facebook page.

------

Anyway it's awesome to finally hit the 1 million. I think it just gives the movement a new sense of respect in terms of numbers. How many other politicians have more than 1 million likes? Obama, Bush, Romney and Palin might be the only 5.
