It's my birthday!

That's right, today, October 23rd, 2007, is my 20th Birthday.

These past two decades have been a blast. In a very short time, I've gone from a tense individual who was terrified of making mistakes in school and elsewhere to someone who might be just a little bit too laid back when it comes to school and work. For example, it's 4:16AM and I have a short paper due in 10 hours and here I am tapping away a useless blog post that should normally be reserved for class assignments.

To celebrate my birthday I've added a new poll, which I'm looking forward to seeing the results to. For your gifts to me, just vote in the poll and post a comment on this site. I mean, seriously, I go through a lot of effort once a week to find sources to support my loony claims. It takes minutes of effort that I could be spending on Facebook or a game.

Right then, rambling, paper, then bed.

Ron Paul wins CNBC debate

There is no link to this topic because CNBC took down their online poll after, in their view, it was flooded by organized Ron Paul supporters.
They expected one of the "top 4" candidates to win the debate, Giuliani, Romney, McCain, or Thompson. So when their poll came back showing overwhelming support for Ron Paul, they felt like it must have been rigged.

Here is an interesting video about how the poll was taken down, though I don't totally agree with everything that the narrator says. Give it a watch anyway.



Paul was treated unfairly throughout the debate.
A good example is here in the 30 second lightning round.


So here you see that all the candidates, except for Ron Paul, are allowed to speak for longer than 30 seconds (and Huckabee seemingly can talk forever), as well as get relevant questions. When it gets to Ron Paul, he gets a bullshit question, and then gets cut off at exactly 30 seconds.

Do you want those jerks at CNBC to win? How about the other Republican candidates who giggle when Paul says that we can't afford to have an empire.

Exactly. Of course you don't. So be sure to register and vote for Ron Paul!

Top 10 reasons why Ron Paul will win the Republican Nomination

This blog isn't something that I personally came up with. I found it at another blog (link in title), and that blogger found it on a forum.

However, this is in response to Dr. Timbs who said, in a comment on one of my blogs, that Ron Paul hasn't got a prayer of a chance of winning. Well, good sir, here goes the reasons why he will win!

The picture is by Nick Danczyk, posted in the Ron Paul Facebook group.

#10-“Ron Paul” is the second most searched term on Technorati, which measures blog search traffic. (38% of Americans as of 04 rely on the internet for information about politics, political issues and elections. 15% of all Americans use the internet as a primary source for political news)

#9- Ron Paul’s website attracts the most visitors out of all the Republican candidates.

#8 He has won almost every Republican debate according to the polls, and came in second for the ones he hasn’t ranked 1st in.

#7- Ron Paul is leading the Republicans on popularity on Social Networking sites and Meet up groups. With over 55,000 friends on Myspace, and over 25,000 subscribers onYoutube, Ron Paul is clearly the most popular candidate amongst internet users.

#6- He currently has more cash-on-hand than John McCain. Ron Paul has the funds to compete with the “tier 1 candidates”

#5- He has 75% Support of the Libertarian party (The third largest political party in the nation)

#4- He has a dedicated base of supporters. With a mere 25% voter turnout in the last election’s primaries, Ron Paul’s dedicated supporters can make a big difference. It’s fair to assume that 75% of Ron Paul supporters will vote in the primaries. Unlike traditional voters, Ron Paul’s supporters seem to be a bit over zealous to say the least. Libertarians also tend to have a higher voter turnout then traditional political parties, and with recent surveys showing that 75% of Libertarians support Ron Paul over their own Libertarian presidential candidate, its safe to say that Ron Paul has been heavily underestimated.

#3 -Ron Paul won an early New Hampshire straw poll put together by the Coalition for New Hampshire Taxpayers. Ron Paul placed in 1st with a remarkable 65% of the votes. Giuliani came in second with a mere 8%

#2 -He has support from the U.S. Military. Military contributions among Republican presidential candidates place Ron Paul on top at 49.5%, which is nearly as much as all the other Republicans combined.

#1- America will vote for freedom, Ron Paul.
