Barack Obama vs Ron Paul
We all know how popular Ron Paul is on the internet, but after last nights debates I do not see Ron Paul’s name mentioned on Sky News or is he given the attention he deserves in the debates and other main stream news channels.

Barack Obama is being given that chance, but out of “Barack Obama vs Ron Paul” who is your US President?

In the main stream media Barack Obama is more popular, but online where speech is free you will see Ron Paul the more popular candidate.

Which of these men is your next US President?

    Ron Paul of course, he respects and defends the constitution and wants the government the heck out of my business and will bring peace and stability back to the world. Obama has charisma, but he is essentially a socialist statist like everyone else.

    my girlfriend and I are from los angeles, and we support Ron Paul.

    because he is CHANGE with capital letters!!! on the other hand, obama is mild change.

    I like Barack!
    He seems like an open-minded person willing to listen to common sense ideas.
    Perhaps, given some common sense information, he would agree that Ron Paul is our best chance at restoring our shredded Constitution, ending undeclared wars that are costing us trillions of dollars, and the lives of thousands of our brothers and sisters, and repairing our systems of unfair taxation and corrupt monetary policy so folks can make a decent living on a level playing field.
    Then again, he may have personal ambitions that overshadow these issues. But who knows?
    He does promise us change, when we check our pockets we may find his promise fullfilled.

    My family and I have all converted from Obama to Ron Paul within the last 3 months. We are from Chicago, Illinois.

  5. Mike on January 6th, 2008 12:00 pm

    Sky News belongs to Rupert Murdoch - So does Fox News, which excluded RP from their next(forum)debate.

    Do the math!Spread the word!

    I’m a black marine based in Germany and will vote Dr. Ron Paul.

    Obama doesnt cut it for me. He’s dodges the issues and really doesn’t tell it as it is.

    RP 2008

    Ron Paul is the man for the job! He is the only consistently honest candidate. Yes, we need change in America! We need to return to the Constitution and limited government. We the people are sick of the nanny state and want to live our lives without government interference.

    Ron Paul 2008!

  7. eric on January 6th, 2008 12:06 pm

    Sky News is owned by News Corp., the same people censoring him from a debate. It’s ok, Ron Paul’s message will get out, and people will do what is right.

    ron paul is a true hero and despite of all media ignorance he is doing great God bless him and God is with him and i will vote for ron paul only ron paul because he deserve to be next president of united states.
    i urged to all americans to vote for him because he is the future of america no one else .

  10. JamesM76 on January 6th, 2008 12:13 pm

    I like Obama, but I support Paul. I just can’t accept the socialistic domestic policies that the Democratic Party clings too. If Obama really wants change he could of started there. I can’t think of a time in history where a free market hurt the economy, but can give 10s of examples of the top of my head where socialistic programs (especially when government regulated) almost destroyed them.

    Both are running clean and honest campaigns and I respect them both … but Paul seems to come off as more educated in his opinions and expresses them regardless of if the American public is ready to hear them or not.

  11. john on January 6th, 2008 12:26 pm

    I support Ron Paul. Obama is a tool of the globalists.

  12. Gene on January 6th, 2008 12:28 pm

    Monetary policy will be a key issue in 2008 see drastic economic down-turns. Americans will be forced to wake up to this fact. The only candidate addressing the issue with any credibility is Ron Paul. Obama will promise more mis-guided socialist approaches to the problems that just do effect the issue.

  13. Joseph Swanson on January 6th, 2008 1:23 pm

    My hope is tha 1 day these United States of America will become Free. That includes the responcablitys that come with it.Therefor…
    Dr. Ron Paul on 08

  14. Enlightened One on January 6th, 2008 1:34 pm

    Dr. Paul is the United States’ last chance to stave of disaster.

  15. andyf on January 6th, 2008 1:40 pm

    “I will listen.” “He will listen.” “She will listen”. “I want to listen.” Etc, etc. We get this in UK. They should do the listening then run for election,- not afterwards. Anyone can do that and then they don’t listen anyway.
    The only listening to be done for the future and now is to listen to RON PAUL. He done the listening but most importantly,-he has observed for a long period of political incompetance and worse.

  16. Joy on January 6th, 2008 1:47 pm

    Obama is more of the same, race and gender don’t mark change. Diffferent ideas mark change; I will vote for Dr. Paul!

  17. Tess on January 6th, 2008 2:03 pm

    Ron Paul has my vote and support. I want truth, I want Liberty, and Freedome, I want our troops home, but more importantly I want our Republic back.

  18. rm gin on January 6th, 2008 2:58 pm

    Ron Paul! I haven’t been able to vote for a presidential candidate I believe in since Ronald Reagan. Every four years, I vote for the candidate who turns my stomach the least. This could be our final opportunity to save this country before it falls into the abyss.

  19. TomK on January 6th, 2008 3:36 pm

    GO Ron Paul!

    I particularly like his policy towards a sound monetary system and abolishing the Federal Reserve, the purpose of which was conceived in inequity and born in sin.

    People here in the UK are becoming starved of prosperity as growing government and beurocrats threaten to engulf our civil liberties, at the same time as the fake war on terror warps our perspective towards unnecessary security policies. The media’s respect for relevance, truth and the public interest in the UK country has long disappeared, leaving the internet to propel the winds of change.

    UK politics stinks so bad and EU corruption is widespread, it’s all in desperate need of a rapid clean up. Our socialist apparatus here is also under a lot of strain and an economy heading for crisis may wake people up to the prospect of free market ideals.

  20. Jonathan on January 6th, 2008 4:23 pm

    I support Dr. Ron Paul for President in 2008.

    His message while only recently popular has been consistent from the time that he won his first seat in Congress in 1975.

    Read a, “Foreign Policy of Freedom” to truly understand this great man’s ideas regarding a non-interventionist foreign policy.

    Only Ron Paul will return the civil liberties that have been taken from us during the Bush Administration.

    Barack Obama pays lip service to these ideas but has never make a definitive statement on any of the major issues. He is a great speaker but my vote will go for the principled and outspoken Dr. Paul.

  21. Tom Bonner on January 6th, 2008 4:23 pm

    I’m for Ron Paul. Ruppert M. only cares about politicians who want everything to come first to Isreal. Even American military boys and girls dying for Isreal when most of the boys and girls dying have no clue that Isreal is in fact the cause for which they are dying for. That’s right, I said it. We have got to get Isreal out of our government. That’s right I said it again.
    Jane Harman, Chuckie Schumer, Joe Libberman etc…you can bet their agenda is different than the majority of Americans. Study on this.

  22. Eduardo on January 6th, 2008 6:40 pm

    I was disappointed to find out that Michelle Obama is connected to the Counsel on Foreign Relations (CFR). (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zhZof7JPks)

    I think, therefore I voted for Ron Paul.

  23. Dave on January 6th, 2008 6:50 pm

    The United States cannot afford another POTUS that gives lip service to our constitution. We are approaching 9 trillion dollars in debt, have a near 1 trillion dollar trade deficit and a massive budget deficit that keeps on growing. We’ve shipped 50% of our manufacturing jobs overseas while unemployment is climbing and is also underreported by our government. The Social Security trust fund has been raided and we will not be able to give Medicaid or Medicare in another five years. We now have 700 military bases around the world. That’s an empire which we can not afford to maintain. Our policy of perpetual war and nation-building is sending us to the poor house.

    While Obama may have some good ideas, they all rely on the government providing for all. WITH WHAT? We have no money and taxing the rich will not even come close to solving our problems unless we also cut spending and reduce the size of our empire. Obama won’t do that. His military policy is the same as GW Bush.

    Ron Paul is truly our last hope. Four more years of socialist or neocon politics will destroy our economy, our currency and our reputation in the eyes of the world.

  24. Fred on January 6th, 2008 7:50 pm

    Ron Paul is the best candidate I’ve ever known of. A truly inspiring patriot who’s record (rather than image) speaks for itself.

    We don’t need another cute globalist in the White House. We need a real Constitutionalist.

    For American citizens still buying into the superficial pop-culture approach to electing a president, I say grow up!

  25. Dave on January 6th, 2008 8:51 pm

    I pity you folks in the UK with your overreaching government, cameras everywhere and the loss of your civil liberties, far in excess of what we have here in the USA.

    But make no mistake, in a few short years, we’ll be joining you in our respective master’s Orwellian vision.

  26. Michelle on January 6th, 2008 9:57 pm

    I am a permanent resident I can not vote. Please vote for Ron Paul for all the peace loving citizens around the world and for all the people in this country who lost their freedom of keeping the fruit of their labor to the unconstitutional income tax and the inflation caused by the Federal Reserve. We might have our differences but we all love freedom and we all respect the rule of laws (our constitution) that make this country the strongest and the most prosperous nation in the world.

  27. Elaine McKillop on January 6th, 2008 11:42 pm

    Ron Paul is the people’s candidate. he is not owned by special interest like CFR Obama. Obama was listed by Judicial Watch as one of the top ten most corrupt politicians, as was Hillary, Rudy, and the Huckster who had 16 ethics violations as governor and let murders go free. I will proudly vote for the only honorable man in Washington, who will bring ALL of the troops home and restore the Constitution. Ron Paul is the only candidate who you can trust that what he says is what he will do!

  28. Scott on January 7th, 2008 12:00 am

    When I hear that 70% of Americans want us to get out of Iraq already, I think… yea, people are waking up. Then I see how the majority is starting to go for Obama, King of Change. Do people really think he is anti-war? He says he’ll start withdrawing troops (one battalion/month) right away. You can check this all out for yourselves but that plan takes over 4 years. Do you see that this is time that is required to build the permanent base over there so we can control the oil? Do people see that this is a continuation of the current foreign policy objectives? If I didn’t know better I’d think that people had a more important issue that they were looking at for choosing a candidate.

  29. Mike in Boston MA on January 7th, 2008 12:32 am

    Ron Paul is the only choice for real change in America and the world.

    Vote for Ron Paul!

  30. william on January 7th, 2008 1:11 am

    Obama seems a nice guy personally as is Paul but there (SHOULD) be a lot more needed for the running of the most important country to the direction of the world. RON PAUL has complete truthfullness, integrity, honour, fairness, liberty, freedom. Neither Obama nor ANY of the other candidates are in the same league as RON PAUL! His emergance or the ripples that eminate from it, is the best chance of saving the Free world from its current, trajectory of descent into tyranny! RON PAUL is that important!
    I am not American & don’t live there.

  31. Norman Shafer on January 7th, 2008 5:05 am

    This Vietnam Veteran will vote for Ron Paul!

  32. William on January 7th, 2008 5:05 am

    True free markets. Personal freedom. Civil liberty. The government no longer delving into my personal affairs and keeping out of my pocketbook. Back to the US Constitution — the rule of law. There’s no other choice. RP is the only true candidate of change!

    Ron Paul 2008

  33. Ray on January 7th, 2008 5:30 am

    Ron Paul

  34. Chris on January 7th, 2008 11:27 am

    Barack is my second choice. I would give my life to get Ron Pual elected. Both Paul and Obama have good things to say, but Obama seems to be more of a question dogging typical politician. Ron Paul has a 20 year impeccable record of doing exactly as he says and speaking strait un-spun truth.

  35. William on January 7th, 2008 3:46 pm

    Ron Paul would be my choice.
    It takes a great deal of courage to go against one’s party in a national debate and be the seemingly isolated politician in the US Republican party to openly oppose the current US foreign Policy.
    No pretence, cards on the table, Paul’s views are known and will not change.
    This kind of politician is sorely needed in today’s USA.
    6 years ago, I was in the US and watched Fox News and honestly thought it was a News satire, similar to the daily show’s news clips or the UK’s News spoof with Daisy Donovan.
    Was totally shocked to find out that this was the most popular news channel in the world’s only super power.
    Fox, Sky are undemocratic. Whatever conspiracy theories are out there about Rupert Murdoch being part of the org running the world etc are irrelevant.
    If a candidate wins the most funds in the last quarter then they MUST be allowed to take part in the televised debated shown on tv.
    Otherwise, the equivalent cost of tv time in advertising on the Fox Network should be equally divided and assigned as contributions to the other Republican Party’s presidential campaigns.

    When I first saw Obama in 2004 when he gave his “victory” speech in Chicago I remember thinking that this man could be President one day. But as I have watched him campaign over the last year it’s clear to me that he has become more of a politician than a citizen. He told the news media that he “was a Professor” at the University of Chicago. He wasn’t. He was guest lecturer. There’s a HUMONGOUS difference. And in academic circles it’s a tremendous act of disrespect. That’s the day his soul left Hyde Park and went to Washington.

    A few months ago I found out about a guy who had been hanging around Washington for over thirty and had never wavered on his Constitutional oath. I found Ron Paul through my investment club. Intellectually he smarter than all of them, both sides and by a wide margin. No one is talking about the most important issues. Money, the economy, individual liberty, the scope of government. I see morons argue everyday about issues like same-sex mariage, whether a womans place is to submit to their husbands and other totally stupid ideas. Wake up America! Most of the candidates are trying to pull a fast one on you.

  37. Marko Larko on January 24th, 2008 1:55 am

    Until recently I had never heard of Ron Paul. I have been seeing quite a few of his signs in yards around town so checked him out on the web. This is the first time in 30 years of voting that I ever got excited about a candidate. Where has this guy been hiding? I read everything I could and listened to all his speeches and was astounded. There is a consistent message based on principles in all his comments. It appears sincere and not contrived. His principles are simple–measure every action against a standard–the standard being the Constitution of the United States. I am not sure any of the other candidates know what the Constitution of the United States is. And, I believe he will measure every decision against that standard because his record for over twenty years as a congressman indicates he has done just that.
    Until I discoverd Ron Paul I did not think it made any difference if you voted Democrat or Republican. If you vote for Ron Paul it will make a difference. All the other candidates are just self-seeking politicians. Ron Paul loves America and is not running for his own aggrandizement. I am trying to find some signs for my yard and bumper sticker for my car. I have never used either before. If ever the USA needed a man who knew what to do and the conviction to do it it is now. This country is two decades late for an overhaul. Ron Paul is the man for the job.

  38. Paulina on February 25th, 2008 6:23 am

    Me and my whole family support Ron Paul! Obama is nothing else but a puppet from the globalists. Besides he screams about change and doesn’t really specify anything, personally i think he is rather stupid.
    Ron Paul has an immaculate voting record always uoolding our constitution, he definitely is the guy we need for president.
    Go Ron Paul!!!
