== Why is this article so friggin' long?? ==


Hello fellow Wikipedians,
A fringe candidate that never stood even the slightest chance of winning, whom no one will remember a couple of years from now, gets an article this long? Why? Because there are a couple of internet residents that adore him and spend hours slaving away over a search engine trying to find out what brand of pancake syrup he likes or what color seats there were in his first car? <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/96.48.238.194|96.48.238.194]] ([[User talk:96.48.238.194|talk]]) 01:55, 18 April 2009 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
:Same reason things like Star Wars and video games are so thoroughly covered on wikipedia; lots of fat autistic virgins who spend 19 hours a day on the internet worship them and have plenty of time and energy to devote to writing exhaustive articles. But kidding aside, this shit needs to be merged into the main article for [[Ron Paul]]. No other American presidential candidate of so little consequence has an article devoted entirely to his presidential campaign.

I have requested that [[User:HBC Archive Indexerbot|HBC Archive Indexerbot]] create an index of the talk archives for this article.

The section under 'Social Networking' is one big walloping lie. Ron Paul is *NOT* "popular" on Internet social networks; Ron Paul is spammed and shoved down the audience's collective throats by a tiny minority of social sites while the majority are indifferent to the man and express loathing for his followers. Do not insult anyone's intelligence by asking me for a citation, either; go to any social media gathering in question and read the comments yourself.


{{sourcecheck|checked=false|needhelp=}}
There is no grassroots at all. There is asstroturf by a group of well-heeled millionaires who can afford to buy votes and hire commenters. This is highly common knowledge.

==Newsletters==
Section should be cleaned up a bit for clarity's sake. The newsletters were published by Ron Paul & Associates, so I think the phrase:
::various names bannering "Ron Paul" prominently in the title, such as ''The Ron Paul Survival Report''
is a little too delicate. Paul never denied that they were his publications, he just denied having written or edited them.
Also, I think the excerpts in question should be included in the article. [[User:Njsamizdat|Njsamizdat]] ([[User talk:Njsamizdat|talk]]) 20:38, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
