Last week, Presidential Candidate Ron Paul visited Google for a Q&A. Here are the pics from Ron Paul visiting the Googleplex and a great video of a Q&A with and overflowing room of Google employees:
That video is certainly worth the 60 mins to see if you think Paul is someone who should be running the United States.
In preparation for Paul’s Visit, the interviewer received more questions from Google employees than for any other presidential candidate that has ever visited Google. Maybe that’s because Ron Paul is the only candidate with voting record that proves he wants to limit the size and scope of government, the only republican candidate that voted against the Iraq war from the beginning and against the US PATRIOT Act.
Also last week, Pronet advertising hit a foul ball with their post, “Ron Paul Supporters Need A Lesson In Social Media Marketing“: a completely off base article that suggests that all of Ron Pauls political support in web 2.0 is astroturffed. The irony of course is that the piece had more comments than almost any other pronet story. Whoops!
Oh yes, the support for and interest in Ron Paul is real . . . . and it’s spreading like wildfire.
“I want to be President not because I want to run your lives, I don’t wanna be President to run your economy, and I don’t wanna be President to run the world. I wanna be President to restore liberty. ” – Ron Paul

Great news! Good luck to you guys with your next President. It would be great to see liberty restored.
He is too nutty… will never get elected. Google asks, “What about people who don’t have jobs?” He essentially says, “There will be more jobs under my government.” He is utopian and doesn’t seem to consider that there are other forces besides “the market”. He assumes that his certain economic prosperity will give everyone a job and that “big companies will have more wealth and will give employees better health plans”… all by themselves.
Some people are sheep; some are wolves. Someone needs to protect the sheep from the wolves. The government needs an overhaul, but if too much government is removed too quickly it will create a vacuum that will rapidly be exploited by foreign and domestic antagonizers. There will never be a perfect society.
He should keep talking because some of his ideas are good. I wouldn’t want him as President though.
He’s far too optimistic..he doesn’t realize what he’ll be getting himself into. I mean, I sort of like him, but i’m unsure as to who the final winner will be. Suddenly i’m in for obama, bloomberg, him and a few others.
At least, 2008’s candidates aren’t as bad as 2004’s…Geez were those candidates bad options. Bush won of course though, likely because of those hackable voting machines. Remember that video on the Diebold voting counters? lol politics is so fake
