Ron Paul on G4 TV "AOTS" !

[Scribbler de Stebbing]

I find it humorous that a 71 year old fuddy-duddy (seemingly) will most likely poll the highest with informed GOP members between the ages of 18-24.

Of course, they don't poll 18 - 24 yos, because they've never voted before. I'm not familiar with this show or station (I really don't watch tv -- don't even have cable) but I wonder how many of these viewers know what a primary is, much less how to vote in one.

That said, all press is good press, and it sure as hell can't hurt!

What I always find sad is that the video game community has a lot of young people, but people of that age don't usually care about politics. Ironic since the videogame industry is often used as a scapegoat by politicians.

Just tell them that if Hillary gets elected we'll have Gun Prohibition... in games.

Haha Ron Paul needs to say that!

A friend of mine used to watch this station a lot. I used to watch it too back when it was known as Tech TV and even ZD Tv. Used to be good stuff, mostly tech centered.

G4 was a purely gaming channel back before it aquired Tech TV. When they merged it brought on more diverse "tech" topics but it was and still is mostly centered around gaming.

How "useful" his appearance is can certaintly be debated but I personally think it's a very positive step. It shows his openess to youth. There's actually some important issues he can really get the audience to rally around:

Personal Liberty (no gov regulation of gaming ratings)
Anti Drug-War (young experimental crowd - generally)
Anti Internet Regulation (obvious)

His tax message can certaintly resonate as well I mean who the hell likes paying taxes but the above three I think would be key.

Just my $0.02

"Libertarian presidential candidate Ron Paul will be on Attack of the Show next Tuesday"

I wish they'd stop calling him the "Libertarian" presidential candidate. He's a Republican presidential candidate.

Yeah, I'd say it would be up to us to educate them about the primary process after this and make them understand that a lot of them are going to need to register as Republicans and vote in the primary, to give Ron a chance at the nomination.

Nice generalization. I happen to have an Xbox 360, a 54" HDTV, a 7.1 Surround Sound Stereo, all new speakers and a 400 watt subwoofer.

I also am an IT Network Engineer. Basically I design, implement and maintain computer networks.

And I DON'T SMOKE DOPE.

What's wrong with smoking dope? Jeez.

I can't wait to see this interview! Ron Paul rules. Weed can be bad if you smoke too much... but everyone should have the right to choose for themselves.
