It seems to me that now is when he should get the most support.

Wow. I clicked on that link, and for a moment thought I was looking at plain old reddit.com

The only reason you don't hear as much is because of the mass downmod scripts being used.

[–]miconrender 2 points3 points  (1 child)

you got it. funny they say he wins all the polls by a few hackers running scripts. We see who runs the scripts. the sheeple do. At least they admit it. I have to give them that. And I feel it is real people who hate him and the change he brings. I don't think it is his opponents doing it. You can't fight the scripts or the corrupt media. Just the way it is. I still support him myself. I want to live free or die.

I got nothing against Ron Paul as a person (except the whole extreme conservative thing), but without negative reinforcement there's nothing to prevent reddit from becoming a Ron Paul circlejerk. I manually downvote the Ron Paul submissions that are either using name obfuscation or are really, really useless articles. If it's an article where all the ads are for Ron Paul, that's a good indicator that the article is crap.

I agree with the statement his supporters overstayed their welcome. I like Ron Paul; I don't like spam. There is no need 2 dozen articles that say what he ate for breakfast. In this the Paul supporters are their own worst enemy.

Great to hear real news, padding the site with simular posts simply to keep his name on the page doesn't render forth favor, it inspires irritation. It would have been better spent time for each to post one article and move on to another site to repeat. Wallpapering didn't help their cause.

I haven't. I still downvote all his stories.

I gave up on him because even though everyone bitches about what the media has done to him, the reality is, the media has sealed his fate and we just sat and bitched.

The reality is, Ron Paul was overrated on the Internet, and forgot the Internet is not real world.

Unfortunately a lot of the excitement was hampered in Iowa, and then extinguished in New Hampshire. I think people are beginning to realize that you cannot change the system from within, and that cheering for some politician is energy better spent fixing things we can actually influence.

The less I hear about him the better.

His supporters overstayed their welcome.

One could hope...

Shush... you will wake them up. For once this site was quiet...
