Damn I just noticed half of the comments on Rick Perry's FB page are from Ron Paul supporters stirring up trouble. All they are doing is pushing away potential voters.

While it's hilarious to see, it doesn't help us at all. Restrain yourselves!

this!! you're hurting Ron Paul by making fun of other candidates!!!

LOL @ Bachmann

Remember - likes can be purchased, and certain candidates aren't strapped for cash.

eleganz · Sep 17, 2011

How the hell is Romney at over a mill!? Ron Paul is supposed to be the king of online supporters... Im just dumbfounded...

Bachmann is getting destroyed by the media for basing her accusations off of tidbits of truth, I can't believe she's letting enough people down for them to go and un-like her.

If you need someone to make a graph of this, then I am willing.

IndianaPolitico · Sep 17, 2011

Thanks for doing this! I think the reason Romney's are going up as quickly as Paul's is because he is running facebook ads.

ericams2786 · Sep 17, 2011

With regard to Romney, I think his page has been up since the last election. Not sure about that, but I think that is the case. Even if not, he does have way more exposure and has for a while now. With regards to a graph mentioned earlier, if someone wants to do that, sure go ahead, but I can do one as well at some point.

Romney's campaign, facebook page, and his very existence are all about "BUSINESS IMAGE". He's had people working on the social media aspect of his campaign officially and unofficially, since the last election. Just like in business, he could make a worthless stock look great if he owned it, and a valuable stock look worthless if he wanted to buy it. I can't knock Romney for his organizational and business acumen, but I can tell you that waterfront property in Florida he's selling, will likely turn out to be a swampland.

As for Social Media, he's hired the right people, and numerous discussions about the reality of his facebook numbers has always been a question. Research has proven, many of his supporter likes are BOTS, PAGES, and simply not real people.

Here's some info on his hired gun social media guru htxp://www.allfacebook.com/meet-mitt-romneys-new-facebook-guru-2011-06

Could not agree with you more. We need to be VERY professional when out there talking to people...especially people who may have liked Perry because they just don't know. We need to approach them with PEACE and not WAR...because that is the same thing our nation is doing. We are not nation building with Ron's message, we are spreading a message of truth...so once they hear it, it will be on their own conscience...

Ha, Bachmann's daily like increase is small and slightly comical.

Edited: to be more polite to bachmann's remaining 12 voters

I hope you can manage to keep it up, we love graphs here

Sorry to ask this here, but what does +rep mean?

you give someone 'reputation points' by clicking the little star under a message you like and following instructions. It can be 'plus rep' (green, good) or neg rep (red, bad). If you want to view your own rep you click 'settings' at the top right of the page and your own list of rep will come up. You have some, because your 'dot' by your avetar is green. If it were gray or red that would be a different story...

+Reputation
Meaning agreement or adding actual reputation. Click the star on the bottom left of a post to add rep. Try it.

Sentinelrv · Sep 19, 2011

Is there anyway to find out who has "liked" Ron Paul's Facebook page? There are over 500,000 people we could contact about the Black This Out Money Bomb if only we knew who they are.

Wasn't it done like this back in 07-08 by using MySpace to find email adresses of people that liked him and then we sent out emails to them about the money bombs. That's how I was told it was done, though I'm not sure. If so, maybe we could use this method again. So is there any way to find out who has liked his page?
