Ron Paul, and Power of Internet

First, have to admit to being more than a bit disturbed at FOX, and specifically Sean Hannity, which is not new, but the reasoning is new. Supposedly, the United States embraces the concept of one man (or woman) one vote, and the winner is the person who received the most votes. I don't like George Bush, think he is a scum sucking pig, BUT he is our president, and I have to accept that. Yet, when the text messages had spoken last night, and Ron Paul came out the winner, the first thing Hannity started doing, was discounting his win, claiming the FOX poll was fixed, and that Ron Paul's Rebels were stacking the ballot box.

HELLO HANNITY, they voted, he won. That infuriates you and others, because you do not want his message being heard, do not want his candidacy to have legitimacy. God forbid someone LIKE HIM be the Republican Standard Bearer! It was OK for Huckbee to come in second, but Ron Paul was an insult to your vision of the party, so you refused to give the winner his due...YOU SUCK DUDE!

All the other candidates in both parties should be taking lessons from Ron Paul. He and his staff are using the Internet to drive a movement, and having success at it. Not a new blogger here, but this blog is new. Yet, over night The Ron Paul Rebels found me under a host of search definitions. In short, they are finding their people, and getting them OUT TO VOTE, even if it was only a text message poll. By dismissing Ron Paul's victory, Sean Hannity is dismissing Ron Paul's supporters, and dismissing Democracy. Can guarantee Sean Hannity one thing...come the next Republican Debate, if FOX has a text or phone poll, I'm going to give my vote to Ron Paul just to PISS YOU OFF.

My hope...that Dennis Kucinich and Ron Paul seriously consider running together on an independent ticket. First, it would make a far better ticket than one with Ralph Nader on the top. Secondly, there is enough dissatisfaction with both parties that the two of them could actually get enough votes to bring a third political party into reality.
