Surpassed Hillary by 276 votes, now only 527 behind Giuliani

[goRPaul]

Obama? Young people are idiots. I'm so ashamed of my age bracket.

There are idiots in every age range, but I'd say the young people are Ron Paul's largest demographic of support. Those 24% who voted for Obama will probably grow up to vote for the latest Rudy McRomney candidate anyway.

I'm more ashamed of the older generations...they helped get us into this mess, supposedly have 'wisdom' on their side, and STILL vote in large numbers for Rudy or Hillary or whatever corrupt/authoritarian candidate is thrown at them.

No offence intended to anyone on this forum, but I have trouble seeing how this was all allowed to occur for so long. (sorry, just venting....I know this generational collectivism is exactly what TPTB want us to engage in, but I had to get it off my chest).

It's not all their fault. Our education system doesn't teach people anything, and the media encourages people to be complacent. These are a few obstacles that RP supporters have to overcome when convincing people that RP deserves their vote. That being said, we've done a superb job in bringing all the new people into the campaign, and we need to keep it going.

Ugh... left a bad taste in my mouth, but anything for RP, so I did it.

We're closing in on Giuliani. Vote and post!

the only thing i like about my age bracket (high school-college) is their rebellious attitude

now all they have to do is start doing their homework (literally and figuratively )

This is an absolute coincidence, but I just added this feature to my Facebook page today before I even registered here.

And I think a big part of Obama's appeal is his positive message, which I can understand and appreciate (it's also a big part of Paul's appeal). I just hope that and his policy positions are the reasons, not his race or age.

You know I honestly don't hope that come around election day we are still flooding online polls for no reason while forgetting to go out and vote for real.

Most polls have pretty much gone by the wayside.
This one here I hear is significant and since we are only 40 votes away, why not 'hit it til' we get it'?
