WAKE UP EVERYONE
I'm wide awake, and not believing what I see in our economy, in politics, in foreign affairs.

Youtube cannot be controlled. Whoever runs it (Google) has all the control. We can rant against it all we want; or maybe get out from behind our computers and campaign for Ron Paul the old-fashioned way. Who is willing to show up in Iowa on June 30th, holding "Where Is Ron Paul?" signs?

And, if we live well but haven't given the full $2,300, we don't really care about getting him elected.

I dont understand.

They removed category honors, A HUGE HELP to raise and bring Ron's message to passer-by's on the Most Viewed page
and they place that negative STICKY on the front of the N/P section.

Its unreal

Agreed.

I'm not seeing any anti Paul vlog. I think we need to check ourselves to make sure RP supporters are not over reacting to every perceived slight against RP or his campaign.

We don't want to be seen as cry babies.

OK I see it. I watched part of it. No big deal. Thats his opinion. It was more of a rant anyway. Rants generally turn people off.

No worries.

This is why it's important to try and get categories back.

It's YouTube's game. We need to find a way to play it. It's when we're not allowed to play, like what happend to Ron in Iowa, is when we need to get upset.

I don't think Ron Paul ever said he favors zero taxes. Who will pay for the schools, doctors, etc...? The people using these services!

There have been updates in the past and people flooded them with messages... they then got rid of the updates. People have also gotten users unbanned. If enough people protest their decision to get rid of categories they'll bring them back. It's the market; if they know they'll lose people over this they'll change it.

If you're expecting YouTube and Google to not be owned and operated by the same groups that own and operate all of MSM, you will be dissappointed. They purchase and infiltrate every enterprise that gathers a large following and "harmonize" it into the fold to suit their agenda (that is, if they weren't behind it's formation from the very beginning, as they were with Google via providing the venture capital at startup).

Google didn't start up youtube and didn't give any money to start it. If enough people bitch they'll change it. I guarantee it.

YOUTUBE EDITOR PICK:

"RON PAUL IS FULL OF SHIT"

The real thing I don't get, and forget for a moment whether or not it is pro or against Ron Paul, but this video has only two and a half stars. You would think they would want the most popular video, like four stars at least. :confused:

Does anyone have an email or phone contact for youtube?

There are over 3,000 videos about and pro Ron Paul, and just a few that are critical. This particular video is probably the most blatant slur ever posted there.

It is offensive and unfair for the editors to select this video for promotion.

Youtube deserves to hear our complaints.

No, they didn't, nor did I say that. Google itself was started with venture capital from the CIA and there are CIA members on its board. Google is a publicly traded company so the media moguls are able to take ever larger positions via stock purchase and place more members on its board so that they can choose the executives who run the company and in that way influence policy. Google saw that YouTube was getting the eyeball traffic that I spoke of, and they bought it, as I pointed out.

They’re gone again :(

I hope they're working on it and that's why it keeps popping up.

I am voting the other campaign videos down and posting "Go Ron Paul 2008!" in the comments and/or pointing out bad things about the other candidate.

I notice the videos are getting voted down rather fast... heh

I don't now if you've noticed this either, for instance today the "Ron Paul on Bloomberg" video was posted but when you do a search for it, it does not show up. Whether you type the exact title of the video or type Ron Paul and sort by date. Whats goin on?

This might be that their indexing for the search is slow, You could try posting an unrelated video and see if it shows up any faster...

You could also try a google search with YouTube as one of the keywords.
