It was the same in 2008 and 2012. There were tons of Paulbots and people voicing support for all sorts of fringe 3rd party types, decrying Obama et al. as being "all the same". If their comments were reflective of reality, we'd be seeing a President Ron Paul or Jill Stein right now. I stopped taking them seriously and stopped spending much time on those types of YouTube pages for the sake of my blood pressure.
