Ron Paul has some serious supporters and when they get together to push for liberty there's no telling what the results will be, and Thursday night just before the debates while CNN attempted to report the latest on the "two man race," the group of pundits got a BIG taste of Dr. Paul's popularity. Pshhhh! Two-man race? Whatever! Get a grip CNN!

Watch the video above to see the mainstreamers trying to talk about Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney while signs wave in the background for neither one of them: nope, only Ron Paulers! In fact, a few times you could hear the chanting over the CNN folks trying to get their points across, while in the background in unison just like a beautiful song ringing out for freedom the lyrics went like this, "President Paul! President Paul! President Paul!"

The greatest moment to make any "End the Fed" activist laugh out loud comes at 1:51 in the video where it sounds just like someone got ahold of a CNN microphone and says in an animated kind of silly voice "RON PAUL!" I don't see how anyone heard much of anything these CNNers had to say due to the Ron Paul spirit in the background being so strong. It's like Ron Paul's supporters are not about to allow the media black out. If the MSM won't step up, his supporters will take care of it.

I am absolutely convinced there is nothing more exciting than a group of r3VOLution freedom fighters yelling, chanting and cheering for Dr. Ron Paul. Dukin' it out at the Thursday evening debates in Florida brought a lot of sunshine to the most popular Ron Paul web site on the internet, The Daily Paul. When I signed on to check in on the latest Ron Paul news, here's some of the top forum topics:

"Ron Paul fans overwhelm CNN pundits at the Jacksonville, FL debate!"

"Dr Paul is on Fire at tonight's CNN Debate."

"Watching CNN debate preshow live every camera shot lots of Ron Paul supporters."

Yes ladies and gentlemen I can vouch for the fact the Ron Paul internet world and twitterverse is alive and well. Hold on tight, we're in for a great ride in 2012. Don't forget to vote! It'll be a two-man race alright, it's just that CNN got the two names wrong. The two-man race will be Barack Obama and the champ of the Constitution himself, Dr. Ron Paul.

Great piece.

The other candidates followers have no passion in comparison. When liberty and freedom are threatened it tends to bring out the best.
This country needs Ron Paul to escape the Socialist chains.

Rated Up - Here in UK we hear nothing about Ron Paul - to us its presented as a two horse race - what's his line on immigration - I think I understand Romney and Gingrich on it but sands shift! Here's my take on the Gingrich Romney sparring... http://www.allvoices.com/contributed-news/11388523-romney-rounds-on-gingrich-over-antiimmigrant-slur

Wow! That's sad, Ron Paul trends the most on the internet and Twitter regularly. It's because the mainstream media basically ignores him.

When asked during the debate which Hispanic politicians he would appoint to his administration Ron Paul couldn't name one. Not one, while the other candidates named several. He also plans to put troops on the border with Mexico to stop illegal immigration and yes it is a two horse race. Paul's refusal to come clean on racist newsletters which he published under his own name is a liability to him ever being a serious contender outside of his circle of racist supporters,apologists, conspiracy nutjobs, revisionist history buffs and illegal drug users.

Are you for real? Ron Paul has the most educated supporters in the world. These are people who understand the economy, the careless wars, the gold standard. Please do your homework and quit getting all your info from the MSM.

Maybe you show do a search for "Ron Paul" on the Neo-Nazi website stormfront. Over 600 threads in support of who David Duke claims is their King. Don Black the owner of Stormfront himself has stated he has SEVERAL DOZEN members actively working on his campaign, everything from fundraising to leafleting. Get your head out of the sand! Unless you like linking arms with avowed racists while singing praises to Ron Paul?

Unfortunately much of America is controlled by Corp America who controls the mainstream media and what and who is being promoted. The Ron Paul media black out has been going on for years. But the internet is a whole other world where Ron Paul rules. Perhaps you need to Google Ben Swann's Reality Check about the racist newsletters that was cleared up by a local news reporter who did his homework.

Perhaps you need to watch the debates where Ron Paul did a smack down on any type of racist allegations when he pointed out the unfair treatment of blacks in the drug war. Sir, that is exactly why it's a moot topic now. THAT is an old smear attempt that was trashed weeks ago. Where have you been?

Perhaps you need to read the Washington Post article today that says Ron Paul DID sign off on those racist newsletters. In response his own campaign manager claims Ron Paul was negligent in operating his publishing business. Do you really want a guy who couldn't manage a simple newsletter with his finger on the button?
Also search youtube for "Ron Paul John Birch Society". There are plenty videos of Dr. No speaking to the racist think tank including one where he calls them "patriots."

Ron Paul's policy of social liberty for all Americans in the opposite of racism. His stance on non-violent drug offenders alone would free the disproportionate amount of minorities imprisoned for starters. Second his policy of not starting wars that are not needed would also save lives of our military who are for the most part lower income and or minorities. Those two points alone should show you where his heart lies. I don't dare to speculate on his competitors or the current guy in office as we know what they have done and want to continue to do.

It doesn't change the simple fact that he published racist newsletters. Why do you think he's skipping states with large multicultural populations like Florida and instead campaigning in states where the populations are predominately white? It has nothing to do with delegates. It has nothing to do with money. It has to do with the fact that the newsletters, which will haunt him the rest of his life, will not play well in states with large multicultural populations.

Things going on behind the scenes with Ron Paul are going very well. If one listens to the MSM they are getting very little of what is going on.

Ron Paul has support across all races. All one has to do is pull up YouTube and watch a few homemade videos from supporters. Many people across all the U.S. love Ron Paul. Red, yellow, black and white--he's got them all.

If it's not a two-man race, then why didn't Santorum and Paul spend money on ads in Florida? If Rep. Paul has so much support, then why doesn't he have the funds to run a 50-state campaign? That's the only way to win now with the delegates being split up in almost every state.

Ron Paul doesn't need Florida. It's all about delegates and he's getting them lined up all over the country as his supporters go to caucus training. Don't be deceived by the mainstream Adrian. They only tell what the Corporations want them to. They are scared to death of Ron Paul's candidacy. Geesh did you watch the video. Have you seen Google trends? Ron Paul is the internet KING! Does the mainstream report that? They minimize it, they black him out. They are shaking.

No, Ron Paul is not popular with Cubans or Jews, two very powerful voting blocks in Florida. Did you see when he was asked which latino leaders he would appoint to his administration? He couldn't even name ONE. Do you know what sort of message that sends to Latino voters?

He was the last person asked. Plenty of time to think. Or he could have said "all of the names my colleagues mentioned are fine individuals." Instead he changed the subject! Just like he did when asked about the racist newsletters. While his non-answer does not prove racism it will cost him votes in Latino circles who feel perhaps he doesn't care enough to know who the mover and shakers are in their community. I do think it's unfortunate neither he or Santorum got to answer the question about their policy towards Israel. Ron Paul would have been booed out of the building with that crowd. Real reason he's not running in Florida. That and he probably doesn't want to run into his longtime friend Stormfront owner Don Black w. whom he famously took a picture with once before.

I don't think one little blank out in a debate should mean a person shouldn't be president. How do you know he didn't just draw a blank? How do you know he didn't walk away and think of 3 right away? We've all blanked out under pressure before. I don't think that means he's racist, but if someone is looking for a reason to slam him they'll grab onto every little mistake and make a big deal out of it.
