What does this screenshot tell us about the Aug 11th Republican Debate?

Asked by RealEyesRealizeRealLies (30960points) August 12th, 2011

Here’s the link to my youtube screenshot.

Forget the man on screen. Look at the links.

In case you’d actually like to watch it…
Here’s a link to the Full GOP Debate in Ames, Iowa – Aug. 11, 2011

Now correct me if I’m wrong, but if you look at the comments and the Suggested Videos on the right, doesn’t that say something about who is the REAL frontrunner?

Why does Ron Paul get all the underground support, but the media barely pays him any attention whatsoever?

The screen shot doesn’t tell me anything. If I am supposed to ignore it then why mention it? Anyway, thanks for posting the link to the debates I totally forgot about them and I was looking forward to playing Republican Debate Bingo. Now I still can.

Look again. Why is Ron Paul getting a huge number of links under the suggested videos section on the right when no other candidate is? Not one other candidate has their name listed on a single link.

The comments section is mostly about RP as well.

Well, you are only showing a screen shot but whatever version of whatever video this is, it was uploaded to you tube by a Ron Paul supporter who posted links to Ron Paul sites.
I can’t tell much more than that from screen shot.

Ahhhh… I see. So if a Bachman supporter uploaded that vid there would be more Bachman links associated on the right? I didn’t know that’s how it worked. I thought it was just the popularity of the searches.

God I didn’t even bother to look at who posted them.

@RealEyesRealizeRealLies LOL. You might want to get those realeyes checked. You may need just need an adjustment in your prescription. I still love you, though. I’m the same way sometimes. I say “I’m not stupid, I just do stupid things.” And yeah, anyone can post on youtube, some postings are more “official” than others. No big deal, it just means you have better things to do with your life and your time than to learn the ins and outs of youtube.

@lillycoyote Why does the republican debate bingo not ONCE mention “job creators”? And two of them don’t have a Ronald Regan square? What’s up what that? I want to talk to the creators – they’ve got some ‘splainin’ to do!!

Republicans and democrats like Ron Paul because he’s not a religious conservative nut job and he uses logic, common sense, and a belief in the constitution. He’s still a politician, which means he’s subject to corruption and lies, but he lies really well lol.
