Thanks Abby - one of my favorite channels and I look forward to your vids.

If I had to choose a political label I'd call myself a Green Libertarian which means I'm somewhat lost in the scheme of things, but I find Ron Paul to be the most promising and motivated politician out there.

I try to promote your website in the Ron Paul leaning areas of the web but I get a limited response, which is a shame.

At some point we have to all come together against the domineering Governmental behemoth...

@continuityofliberty Thanks so much for your support and for spreading the information where you can! I agree that we all need to break through this Democrat/Republican/Left/Righ­­t paradigm in order to make an impact :)

Do any of these people even know who Ron Paul is? I mean come on he's our only chance at freedom and people are still dumbstruck by Obama. This country is getting worse everyday and we as people are letting it. I hope more people Start to wake up and stop watching FOX and CNN. Ron Paul 2012

@TRX450rYB240 I voted for Ron Paul in the midterms. Too bad he didn't end up running Independent.

@g1981c oops nevermind ! for some reason i thought this video was recent. i see now it's from 2010 ...

Abby YOU look great BUT consider getting an HD camera, or at least put the one you have into progressive mode if it has one. The interlacing is pretty bad - an average smartphone today shoots better quality video than this. I fucking get better quality with my mother's 5 year old camera in my room without windows and with my ugly fat face.

Hi Abbey--- I just found your channel and subscribed. GREAT JOB! Geez-- I'm so stunned by the ignorance of so many of these folks. I guess they don't read. Sad.

Do these people even know how Obama got into the election running? Should have asked if they knew what Zionism was afterwords. Honestly the people in the beginning seem to be lemmings on the wagon. lsd anyone? And it is to bad that Europeans do not look into the Esoteric and historical periods in our human history. If they did, they would understand Bush and Obama are on the same team. And how hard is it to look into starting points.. like 9/11 for example. old man with hat only smart one

@AbbyMediaRoots well... coming together against a domineering governmental behemoth isn't breaking through a left/right paradigm. no taxes, no social services, no regulations - in fact... that is a lot of what the republicans are trying to achieve.

now, if one was to try to restrict corporations from causing harm, make them actually pay their taxes and would try to counter social inequality - THAT would be breaking a paradigm. because neither republicans nor democrats do anything like that.

Obama is just another puppet socialist dictator. He has done nothing he promised and has made a bad situation worse.
