Ron Paul, Time's person of the year. COMMENT PLEASE.

yea, i really like Ron Paul, and he has some great things to say, but i gotta go with the war hero McCain.

jk
 
I posted my comments for Dr. Paul.

Unfortunately there is some spam being posted also. :(
 
I'm not an Obama supporter but if any US politician besides Bush or Paulson has had a great enough effect on current affairs to be named 'Person of the Year' it would have to be Barack Obama.
 
Wow... over 2000 comments already!5

I think the only two that should be mentioned on YouTube for Man of the Year are: Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich.

The only two with balls to take on the: Corrupt, Colluding, Conspiring, government stranglehold on the people and society.
 
Ron Paul "influenced the media" by making them ignore him at every turn. Everyone in the media had to actually work so that Ron Paul wouldn't show up all the time.
 
There were a number of comments complaining that their video responses had disappeared.

So the TIME cover should have just a black silhouette and then you have to look inside to see that it's RP. The theme is media blackout.
 
If you look in the background of the video, I think Rick Stengel is asking us to choose from those candidates whose pictures are behind him to be TIME's "Person of the Year." As expected, Congressman Paul is not even an option for them. It's an utter shame, to say the least.

Well, if you read the video description ("Send us your ideas and suggestions by submitting your video to our YouTube channel"), or listen to what he said, you would not have reached that conclusion.
 
Here are the two comments I've left today. Keep in mind I had to try to condense what I was saying into their relatively small character limit.

Comment #1

I vote for Ron Paul.

If you want to understand why TIME will NOT choose Ron Paul, however, do this...
1) Go to Google.com
2) Type "Trilateral Commission Usurping"
3) Hit "I Feel lucky"
4) Read the article. Note the part about TIME magazine and Jimmy Carter.

I've got my money on TIME selecting Obama. Brzezinski and Albright are his foreign policy advisors. Jimmy Carter and Ex-Fed Chairman Paul Volker both endorsed him. Four of the most prominent Trilaterals.

Comment #2

For those who say that Ron Paul isn't the "person who, for better or for worse, has most influenced the news this year": In 2006 Time chose the millions of contributors of user-generated content to Wikipedia, YouTube, MySpace, Facebook, Digg, etc, as Person of the Year, personified simply as You. On the cover it said: "Yes, you. You control the Information Age. Welcome to your world." "We" clearly choose Ron Paul this year. Search "Ron Paul Jerry Day" on YouTube for more proof.

I went back 20 pages entered over the last day and couldn't find the comment I posted at the TIME video site yesterday -
I'll look again I guess.
