Ron Paul Rules

GOP presidential candidate Ron Paul totally rules Technorati, but I am not sure why. Don't get me wrong-- the whole "end income tax" shtick has got to resonate with a lot of people. But not one other candidate from either party, for good or ill deeds, has appeared on the Technorati top searches at any point since I have been watching it. It could be that his message has enormous populist appeal, or it could be that someone is gaming the ratings. Black helicopters and all that...

I can't dispute his message that income taxes are an unnecessary source of revenue, and that the government could readily cover the difference with wiser spending. I know this manic guy who corners people at parties to explain at breakneck speed how the entire income tax system is entirely voluntary, and that citizens can just opt out. I can't dispute that either-- I'm just not very well informed.
