Media is ignoring Ron Paul
Nov 13, 2007 - 04:04:23 CST

It is of great concern to me that our media have the power to manipulate how we perceive current events. If only the media were a reliable source for information, unfortunately they're not. How do I know this? Take, for example, the story about the state Republicans' straw poll in Bismarck Oct. 26. Mitt Romney was announced the winner. The only candidate who deserves the Republican nomination is Congressman Ron Paul, who received 4 percent of the vote in the poll, tying with Mike Huckabee. What truly upset me was when I watched KFYR that night and listened to the report about the event, they showed the percentages for each of the candidates but omitted Paul's name. The media tried alluding that Paul didn't receive any votes. However, he was the only candidate who received votes but whose votes were not reported. Why?
Paul has gathered most of his support through the Internet, and the media have tried to ignore him. But Paul has won more straw polls than any other candidate. He appeals to the most important American citizens, the youth. Now, before the elderly population of North Dakota starts throwing their fleischkuekle and walkers at me, let me just say that the reason the youth are the most important people in any campaign is because they represent the future.
Paul supports the Constitution and our rights. In America, we support freedom and equality - that is, if you're not a white male. We want fair elections and the only way we can have this is if we quit eating the media's biased stuff.
In closing, if people want communism, they should vote for Hillary Clinton. If fascism, vote for Rudy Giuliani. If more of the same, vote for Fred Thompson. Finally, if they want a president who stands for freedom, is a champion of the Constitution and who is consistent when he votes, then America should cast its vote for Ron Paul.

He brings some intelligent debate to the moronic Republican party. That's good. And he may actually be fairly honest.
He's more electable than he looks and I predict he'll be BIG trouble for the GOP in NH, MI and some western states. Maybe even a southern state like Florida.
Ron Paul is just a source of humor for me though. His Libertarian ideals will always backfire and fail for the same reasons that ALL conservative philosophies sputter, choke and die in the long run.

Easy! He is the ONLY one who doesn't talk about political parties. He DOES speak of the Constitution for ALL. Can't have THE PEOPLE people taking THEIR country back now can we?

well I'm just mentioning that a large part of the Libertarian ideal is to remove all government regulations.
No EPA
No FDA
No FCC, NTSB, Social Security, future health care and at least a hundred controls that make life half livable for those under the seven figure tax bracket.
So what happens is that Paris Hilton gets a huge bailout under a Ron Paul leadership and the rest of us don't even get her crumbs.

Indont belvie at all that Hillary is communist. I do belive though that Ron paul is getting much the same treatment that that other indepents have gotten. They are a small demographic in viewership. The best press they get is when Wing nut pundits rip on them.

The only good thing I can say about Paul; He is not a socialist. But then he is a head-in-the-sand isolationist.

The Constitution calls for America to trade with other countries...I.E. Switzerland and the like. Not be the "police" of the world....Take a moment to contemplate the hundreds of billions of dollar's wasted on Military spending, not just here but the whole world.
Summarizing some key details from chapter 8 of the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SPIRI)’s 2006 Year Book on Armaments, Disarmament and International Security for 2005:
* World military expenditure in 2005 is estimated to have reached $1,118 billion
just think of all the good things the country's of the world could do with just 25% of this wasted money, point being..what is a "isolationist"? do you think NAFTA was a good idea? reading the paper just today Lear Corp. has finally closed down the last plant here and moved to Mexico...over 800 jobs gone south over the last five years.
Of all the enemies to public liberty war is, perhaps, the most to be dreaded because it comprises and develops the germ of every other. War is the parent of armies; from these proceed debts and taxes … known instruments for bringing the many under the domination of the few.… No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare.
