It's not just conservatives. It's a whole cross-section of Americans. Traditional liberals, old-line conservatives, libertarians, populists, etc. You can piss and moan all you want but Paul has the biggest grassroot support out of all the candidates.
I hate when those conservatives think for themselves and insist on sticking to the facts. It ruins all the good nutcase campaigns!
Like I said, you and the elites are just mad that ordinary folks won't kiss the rings of the establishment. Paul has support, and the GOP ignores him at their own peril.

Everyone has seen the Google ads on the right side of the page when you conduct a search for a candidate. All of the sponsored ads on Google cost PER CLICK. The price can vary depending on the keyword(s) used. Clicking on these links causes an automatic deduction from their advertising budget for that day, and will continue until they have exhausted all of their funds for the month. This can cost advertisers thousands and thousands of dollars. The thing is you don’t have to actually stay on the site very long, and multiple clicks usually end up costing them multiple times.
Something to keep in mind.
Do NOT spam click the Google ads on this (sitewww.ronpaulforums.com), this will cause Google to terminate their adsense account with this site, robbing the admin of their funds. There is little to no appeal process to getting your account re-activated. So please confine any multiple clicking for when you conduct Searches from googles main page.
However this can be a legitimate tactic for use on other blogger sites for getting them shut down.
Right now here are a few keywords and how much they cost the sponsor per click. Please note this only applies to ads that are listed in the blue sponsor boxes you see on the first line and on the right side of google searches.
“Ron Paul” $.50- .70 per click
2008 = $1.00
Barack Obama = $.83 - $1.22
Bill Richardson = $.73 - $0.93
Brownback = $.50 - $.59
dennis kucinich = $1.00 - $1.20
duncan hunter = $1.00
election = $.40 - $.43
fred thompson = $1.00
giuliana = $1.10 - $1.50
hillary clinton = $1.00 - $1.20
jim gilmore = $1.00 - $1.17
joe biden = $.51 - $.77
john edwards = $1.01 - $1.28
john mccain = $.62 - $.94
mike gravel = $1.00
mike huckabee = $1.19 - $1.55
mitt romney = $1.05 - $1.31
newt gingrich = $.89 - $1.23
president = $1.00 - $1.01
republican = $.61 - $.92
rudy giuliani = $.85 - $1.27
sam brownback = $.50 - $.64
tom tancredo = $.50 - $.51
tommy thompson = $1.00
And because I hate Hannity...
hannity = $5.00 <-— no shit, it costs him $5 a click for the advertisement to his site. ( Though I haven’t come across any sponsored ads using this keyword.)
If he has such BIG support with all the little folks, why can’t he get above 3% in any national poll? (without his supporters spamming the poll of course)
FR is a well known “conservative” site. Out of more than 300 posts on this column, only a few are in support of Ron Paul. Where are all his supporters? Out spamming other polls?
Topic - Please Give Me the name of Anti War groups: I am trying to co-opt there (sic) organizations

I have contacted United for Peace and Justice, Code Pink, and Iraq Veterans Agaist the War. I have talked to the leaders/editors of each one. While I know people on this board will yell at me and say “Focus on Republicans,” I think name regocnition is just as important. My strategy is to co-opt mailing lists to get Ron Pauls name associated with their issue. (I will do the same thing with Right to Lifers)
Non Profits generally can’t support candidates, but they can hightlight their stance on issues and post voting guides.
What are the names of other Anti War groups?
Tell me, or use my letter below.
We CAN win,
Re: (Insert Anti War Group Name here) and the GOP
I am a MeetUp coordinator for Ron Paul in NYC. He is the only candidate for the GOP that voted against the war. When Hillary, Edwards, Biden, Kerry and every Republican marched us Baghdad, Ron Paul spoke out against preemptive war. He was stifled, but he has more in common with your goal of getting us out of Iraq than any other presidential candidate. I bet you could have given this speech.

It would be a great service to your cause (and mine) if you could highlight his anti-war stance to your membership. Ron Paul, Dennis K, and Barack Obama are the only people who made the right call. A Paul vs. Obama contest would be the perfect outcome for (Insert Anti War Group Name Here)
The reasons to support Ron Paul are obvious. The nomination will be decided by February. If the GOP puts up a “mini-Bush” we only have a 50-50 chance of getting us out of Iraq. And even then, Hillary and Obama both seem intent on building bigger and bigger military.
Ron Paul can win. He won straw polls in NH, Alabama, Washington, and Pennsylvania. And there is a statistical fluke which could squeeze him in. If Rudy, Fred, Mitt, and Mike split the pro war vote, Ron can go after the 50% of the GOP that realizes Iraq was a mistake. (75% of America sees the war as a mistake. The country is 50% for each party. That means 50% of the GOP is intellectually honest.)
