Why do you Americans feel like everything revolves around YOU, just because there is one decent politician running for presidency in America does not mean some "New Age" is about to sweep the entire world. Get over yourselves.
If you read the OP you would see I am not American In fact I'm worse in your opinion no doubt because I'm English
Also, I wasn't saying Ron Paul is the ONLY evidence. Seems like you just read the thread title and made your judgement.
I think there is a 'worldwide' awakening, and one area you can see that is in people starting to listen to the ideas of a politician who speaks out against TPTB. He's been there with the same message since the 80's and only recently have people suddenly started 'getting' his message.
It was an example to show a 'part' of this awakening, I used Ron Paul because I imagine most posters on here are American.

His popularity has a long way to go.
Since when does being a popular president get legislation passed? Do you expect 535 bought and paid for Congressmen to suddenly 'fall in line'? Or do you expect/want him to rule by executive order?
At the very least, they want a prominent speaking role for Paul at the convention, said Marianne Stebbins, who has coordinated Paul efforts in Minnesota. More broadly, they want a platform for their message of limited government as they work to reshape the Republican Party, one state at a time.

Amen! There is no denying it. What I find sad is those persons who, for a love of money, would forsake their own quiet little voice telling them humanity is kind. Humanity is generous. Humanity is loving. We all have far, far more in common than not.
SOMETHING BIG IS COMING & IT'S GONNA BE GOOD, DAMN GOOD!
You said he wasn't popular. That's wrong.
What you meant to say is "He's not as popular as the more mainstream candidate Mitt Romney".

No I'm not wrong. You want to use a measure of Facebook to show he is popular. I used votes.
He gets few votes in the primaries
He gets few delegates in the primaries
He get few votes in the general elections
In a 4-way race he holds dead last.
What you meant to say is "He's not as popular as the more mainstream candidate Mitt Romney".
He's not as popular as:
Obama
Santorum
Romney
Gingrich
McCain
Huckabee
As a presidential candidate he has been less popular than:
Ross Perot
John Anderson
Wallace
The votes are what counts. Facebook numbers simply illustrate that he has energized faithful that spend (waste) time on Facebook. I have stated that all along. His followers are energized. The problem for Ron Paul is that he has few people that vote for him. The last election in 2008 suggests that few of his energized supporters voted for him. It was all rah rah until it came time to vote then they dropped Paul like a hot potato.

lmao it's okay that you're wrong buddy. Don't get all upset about it. Face it, Ron Paul is a popular man.

I agree with OP. I've been noticing it too. And not just looking for evidence, but having evidence of it hit me like a ton of bricks when I was least expecting it.
