Ron Paul Leads All Republicans in You Tube Views. Raises More Money Then McCain

The Presidential candidacy of Ron Paul continues to grow. The republican controlled mainstream media is doing everything they can to keep Paul’s name out of the press, but his popularity keeps on rising. How long will the corporate media be able to ignore Paul? The republicans don’t want the public in on what is going on with Paul because he is their worst nightmare, A GOPer with a brain who is not a fear mongering war hawk. They also don’t like the fact that Paul wants to dismember the federal reserve bank, which is one way the super rich, get even super richer. Ron Paul has now raised more campaign cash then John McCain, which is only a small surprise considering how far The Senator from Arizona has slid since his one time front-running for the Republican nomination. McCain’s flip-flopping on the war has not helped his cause, neither has his opinion on Immigration which has inflamed many of the Republican, just kick them all out crowd.
It was also reported within the last couple of days that McCain has had to cut his staff due to poor cash income, and as we predicted here, it looks like McCain’s candidacy is all but dead.
Paul’s campaign has raised 2.4 Million this quarter, according not bad for a guy who gets no MSM love. The Ron phenomenon is just one more example of how the internet is shaping Presidential politics. Paul gets more play on You Tube, which is becoming a major political player, then any other Republican candidate. Second place on You Tube is Mitt Romney. Paul has beat out Romney 2.1 Million, to 700,000 views on the popular web broadcasting site.

As much as I would love to see Ron Paul’s name on the ballet, his record of voting would put him constantly at odds with both Republicans and Democrats. When there is a vote with one dissenting Republican, 99% of the time it’s Dr. Paul. With him president nothing would ever get done. Fortunately, there is nothing to worry about. No Republican will sit in the Oval Office in 2009 without a miracle.

HL you know that Paul would be making more money than McCain since McCain is dropping out of the race so that is a “LAME” comparison.

Ron Paul gives libertarians a bad name.
I hope he does NOT end up being the Republican candidate on the ballot. The fact that he does things a wee bit differently than most Republicans could sway enough votes in his direction to win him the Presidency, which could bring about MAJOR problems.
If Ron does NOT win the Republican primaries, then the Democrats are pretty much guaranteed the Oval Office in 2009.
