Mainstream media alert: Ron Paul news assault starts

It's a shocking political development, to be sure, but news about Ron Paul and what his determined, fervent bands of supporters call the Ron Paul Revolution is beginning to spread like some kind of wildfire before strong primary winds.

First, there was this.

Then, there was this.

And that produced so many hundreds of Comments on this blog that it caused this later item on the Comments. Which produced even more Comments.

And, in turn,that led to this item on the previous item on another blog.

Supporters of the 72-year-old 10-term libertarian representative from Texas think he has a real shot at shocking the political establishment and snatching the Republican presidential nomination away from all those presidential pretenders like Mitt Romney, Rudy Giuliani, Mike Huckabee, John McCain, and Fred Thompson with higher numbers in what must be obviously fraudulent polls.

But now comes news that news about Paul is creeping onto television, that great Satan that ....

reaches so many potential voters but normally ignores quiet-spoken grandfathers with radically simple political views such as political power belongs to the people and America should return to following the Constitution. That makes no sense in an age of proliferating political promises.

Now, believe it or not, John Stossel of ABC is interviewing the old guy and giving him more exposure, which is all his supporters ever sought because they think his ideas are so powerful they cast a spell. "With politicians from both sides of the political fence touting their new plans to fix America's problems, Paul, R-Tex., believes that the most effective way that a president can lead is by protecting basic freedoms, and relying on the collective power of citizens to sort out the rest," Stossel writes.

Paul tells him as president he'd eliminate the Departments of Education, Energy, Agriculture, Commerce, Health and Human Services, Housing and Urban Development, Homeland Security and FEMA. Does that get your attention?  

The trouble with discrediting polls and the mainstream media so much over many months is what do Paulites do when their man's poll numbers start climbing and the same ignorant media start paying attention. Are the polls still frauds and the dim mainstream media still manipulated by evil corporate influences?

All just because Paul supporters gave $4.2 million in one day to enable advertising in New Hampshire. And now with their fundraising guru, Trevor Lyman at the helm of a Ron Paul advertising blimp (really!), the Paul rebels are planning an even bigger fundraising day this coming weekend to mark the Boston Tea Party.

The media will have to pay even more attention if Paul's people set a new one-day online fundraising record Dec. 16. Or, heaven forbid, raise more money in the fourth quarter than any other better-known Republican candidate. Wouldn't that rock some boats? The implausible campaign has a website where the total so far is coming up on $11-million even before Sunday.

With all this mounting attention and success what in the world are Ron Paul's supporters going to rail against now? They'll find something. They have to. Can underdogs still succeed when they're no longer under?

I do, indeed, support Dr. Paul as the only hope for a return to what
made The United States great- just that- the UNITED States. We were
formed as a Republic. By all definitions we are now an empire.
Empires do not persevere. I am deeply concerned for this country and
the world. I would suggest attempting to read newspapers outside of
the Western Hemisphere.

The move towards Globalization is outlined in many official documents from the CFR, TLC, and the Project for a New American Century's (PNAC's) Manfesto:
Rebuilding America's Defenses: Strategy, Forces and Resources For a New
Century-(http://www.newamericancentury.org/publicationsreports.htm)
certainly one of the scariest documents I have ever read.

Yesterday the most popular news story in the world (virtually
un-reported in the Western MSM) was that Iran stopped accepting US
dollars for oil from China, Japan and other countries that hold more
US currency than our own country does. What are China and Japan going
to do with their immense US cash holdings, if they were to dump it on
the open market, we would spiral into an economic depression that
would make the 30's look like boom times. The reality is quite scary.

I believe a Ron Paul Presidency would effectively address these concerns with a Jeffersonian Foreign policy; a smaller, less obtrusive Federal government.and a return to a non-fiat currency.

President Ron Paul 2008- The last hope for America

You would think that someone who works for this newspaper could put 2 and 2 together and see that any subject that consistently gets voluminous internet feedback, might actually be a subject that could sell newspapers for them. Ron Paul might actually make you guys some money.

"So instead of attacking Ron Paul by calling him a kook, crank, or flack or a fringe, Mr. Malcolm instead directs his attention to Ron Pauls' supporters. Just how many other candidates can say there's articles dedicated to their supporters?
Posted by: mehere | December 11, 2007 at 05:12 PM "

Just think about it:
Giuliani's supporters are either in prison or are otherwise rather camera-shy due to their daily activities.
McCain's supporters don't feel safe in public anymore.
Thompson's supporters don't get out much (nursing homes don't let them wander...)
Romney's supporters switch off when their brown envelopes quit coming.
Huckabee's fans drool too much for presentability.

That only leaves us tinfoil hat types that can be documented.

Cheers

Ron Paul. Underdog? Yeah, and J Edgar Hoover was principled and heterosexual! You know this movement is real because it inspires passion like no other. I can go to anyone in the streets of l.a. (except the homeless and illegals) and entertain them with his platform, and BAM. Conversions. Guess what happens when Ron Paul makes office LA times?? the people can start their own newspapers with little government oversight!!! guess that that means for yooouuuu. GOOONE! that's right! MUAHAHAHAH. Now I get catch 22. You can ignore him and lose credibility or acknoledge him, raise his platform and recognize he spells your own destruction. .wow.


(Hope you feel better after venting like this, but you fail to explain how writing so many regular blog items on Dr. Paul is ignoring him.)

You know, I never really thought the polls were deliberately rigged. Just old fashioned in their methodology, stuck polling the people least likely to be Paul supporters (as explained by other, faster commenters).

But I have to say this most recent poll from "grassroots.org" has me a little disillusioned. Hey, it's great that they say Paul is at 13%, but Huckabee jumping by 27% in a month? I mean, SERIOUSLY - has anyone in HISTORY ever seen a 27% jump in the polls in just a few weeks? Either Huckabee just blew away every candidate in American history (thanks to his god, I guess), or someone rigged the numbers. I'm no statistician, but even I know which option is more likely.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to find my tinfoil hat.

Andrew Malcolm, thank you covering the Ron Paul story when so many others in the media seem late to catch on. Whether or not Paul wins does not change the observable evidence that something historical is happening. Some have already declared that this is the first real example of the predicted paradigm shift in decentralizing the control of information that the growth of the internet would inescapably cause. If that is true, and I believe it is, then the forces that are being brought into opposition with the "MSM" will not go away, in fact cannot be stopped. This won't be over until it's over. If enough American voters aren't paying attention now for Paul to win the nomination, wait until the hidden weakness in the mortgage markets is further revealed, wait until the dollar collapses and most Americans face runaway inflation, wait until we see rising violence as the poor and the ex-middleclass become desperate and lose their minds one by one. And all the while the same people that have swarmed the internet for Paul will be spreading the message every day. This is not going away. That will be the real story.

What, pray tell, is so 'implausible' about his campaign?

His campaign seems very plausible indeed.


(Not that many 72-year-old libertarian Texas ob-gyns run for president.)

Andrew, you asked, "With all this mounting attention and success what in the world are Ron Paul's supporters going to rail against now?"

To show my appreciation for the exposure you give to Paul's campaign, I am going to suggest a better question, "What other free creative ideas are going to flood from the cohort of Paul supporters that will completely outclass anything his competitors can purchase with their phoney Federal Reserve dollars?"

To give you a scoop I offer up two campaign messages I have originated, just today. I am going to find a shop to make bumper stickers and give them away. I hope other Paulistas reading this follow my lead. They are:

HONEST ABE WON IN 1860, HONEST RON WINS IN 2008
...................VOTE FOR RON PAUL....................................


JULY 4, 1776, AMERICA'S BIRTHDAY
AMERICA'S RE-BIRTHDAY, NOV. 4, 2008
Another Successful Delivery for DR. RON PAUL
..............VOTE FOR RON PAUL..........................

If space is a problem I can go with,

AMERICA'S RE-BIRTHDAY, NOV. 4, 2008.....
Another Successful Delivery for DR. RON PAUL
...........VOTE FOR RON PAUL...........................

I will give you a six hour exclusive on this story, then I post this stuff everywhere I can. I can't guarantee how long my fellow Paulistas will give you.

(Thanks for the head-start, Joseph.)



Paul tells him as president he'd eliminate the Departments of Education, Energy, Agriculture, Commerce, Health and Human Services, Housing and Urban Development, Homeland Security and FEMA. Does that get your attention?

Well, I can see Paul actively trying to get rid of both DOEs (Education and Energy), but the others are low on his list. Getting out of Iraq, and getting the guns back from the rest of the world, cutting taxes, etc. I would think he'd stay busy with all that.

But look what happened now. They pulled it from TV and said it is only good enough for an internet displaying. Seems like that's plenty for Paul supporters to complain about.


(But, Luke, I thought Paul supporters didn't trust the old msm? So who cares what flashes on old network TV for a few minutes--or gets printed in an old-fashioned newspaper--when it's all there--or here--now in the new media online for anyone to see anytime?)

Again, where is the comparison of Ron Paul to Thomas Jefferson? I told you that the hate mail will floweth over! But I kid...(you did say the phrase "founding fathers which allows you some leeway).

I wanted to let you know that it really isn't covering Ron Paul by ABC's John Stossel if the coverage is only seen on the internet. Ron Paul already has the internet covered! ABC needs to take that interview to the airwaves before supporters will be satisfied. That's the point. Supporters simply want the mainstream media to cover him in a "normal" way. Not blogs, not 20/20 looking interviews that only appear on the internet and not TV, not online editions of media (like Newsweek's recent interview) only, but TV, print press,print magazines, the main news channels. Do we enjoy blogs like yours? Of course! But how many people in the mainstream hear your voice?
Now you understand our point.

(I'd just point out that there's an awful lot of current so-called msm news that actually was born online first because of the freedom and diversity there. Do you really think the old media would be paying so much attention ultimately to, say, Ron Paul without the pressures and exposure initiated by the online efforts of his supporters and blogs, not to mention their organizational efforts enabled by the internet?)

Everyone! Please help by writing to Katie Couric of CBS Nightly News to include Ron Paul for her presidential question segments.

She has included the "top ten" presidential candidates which, believe it or not, includes Bill Richardson and NOT Ron Paul. I have no idea how she could call Bill Richardson "top ten" but not include Ron Paul.

It is very unfair and unbalance of her to do so!!!

Yeah, most people are just sleeping! When they start to investigate a little ron paul, they wake up to what is really happening around them.

My fellow Paulista's,

Stop worrying about the stubborness of the traditional MSM. The traditional MSM is like the Maginot Line. It can be easily outflanked by the internet. The Ron Paul phenomenon is snowballing. He has picked up over .5 million dollars in the last 24 hours. Dec. 16 will be a mushroom cloud over the other campaigns.
Matt Drudge breaking the blue dress story will be forgotten in the history books compared to the impact of the internet on the 2008 election.

Put your creativity to work by continuing to use the web. Many local newspapers have forums on-line that allow for more reader opinion. My local paper sents a weekly e-mail to request input to a forum page printed in the Sunday edition. Be ready to pounce on any topic related to the election. More people read the Sunday paper than watch 20/20.

Get involved in your local newspaper's on-line forums. Do it today.

Can't think of something original to say to your local paper? Then plagiarize some good ideas from internet blogs.

This is a great time to be alive and participating in a bloodless revolution. Do everything you can to be a part of history.

"There is no action so slight, nor so mean, but it may be done to a great purpose, and ennobled therefore. Nor is any purpose so great but that slight actions may help it much." -- John Ruskin

Andrew,

Another glimpse of what the Paulista's will devise.

Check out the Oracle at http://dyn.politico.com/members/forums/thread.cfm?catid=2&subcatid=30&threadid=227812

He cites this blog.

Indeed, mysterious forces are at work. This campaign will bear close watching as there are many surprises in store.


(Darn! And you gave me a headstart too, Joseph.)

The way you media goons supress any news about Ron Paul just goes to show the public that what he is saying is true. It proves you guys are working for globalists with no loyalty to America. You can fool some of the people some of the time but you can't fool all of the people all of the time. When those loyal to America and the Constitution regain power in this country I'm sure that you traitors will be remembered.


(Remembered for writing so much about Ron Paul, you mean. If we're ignoring him, how are you able to come here and read and write about him?)

Thank you for reading and interacting with your bloggers, Andrew. :)


(You're welcome. It's fun and in our very first item back on June 11, we proposed this kind of dialogue. So now we've got one. And we'll keep it going. Thanks for reading. It's no dialogue if we're only writing.)

How many times do we the people have to spell it out? We are a CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC NOT A DEMOCRACY!!!~ please journalists, get it right for a change..

Ron Paul 2008!
our next and greatest president!

Alexis de Tocqueville wrote:
"In times when the passions are beginning to take charge of the conduct of human affairs, one should pay less attention to what men of experience and common sense are thinking than to what is preoccupying the imagination of dreamers."

Joseph Campbell wrote that artists and storytellers are the prophets and seers of their own century. Campbell pointed out that Thomas Mann's novel "The Magic Mountain" predicted World War II.

I have observed plenty of instances of predictions in artistic output confirming their wisdom to the point that I accept Alex's and J.C.'s statements to be practical truths.

This may explain why journalists are often surprised by the turn out of events.

Has any political commentator in your experience taken into account contemporary art as a prescient source to research?

This artistic prescience is why I alluded to mysterious forces at work in earlier comment.

(Art? I don't think so. History? Definitely!)

Some of us already know that the MSM will never give Ron Paul a fair shake EVEN WHEN HE IS THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES--unless, we the people, break the binding connections between the mainstream media and the corporations that fund them. Ron Paul stands opposed to the entire military-industrial-oil-based complex that controls our body politic and our major media. Thus, the Ron Paul Revolution is the only thing that can bring fair reportage back into the mainstream media.

We have put forward a petition to hold Congressional hearings on the blatant manipulation of the electoral process being accomplished by fraudulent polls and extremely biased media coverage of Dr. Paul's campaign within the mainstream media. The primary target of the petition is the major television networks that hold TV debates, collect votes of who won those debates (and RON PAUL WON EVERY DEBATE IN THIS POLITICAL CYCLE) and yet fail to report who the winner was just because they didn't like the winner. These same networks run the debates and give Ron Paul half (or less) of the time as the other candidates. They pay for bogus "professional" polls that are based on premises (already mentioned in this blog repeatedly) that THEY KNOW ARE MANIPULATIVE and that provide a false view of the race.

This petition will be delivered early in the primary season to the clerk of the U.S. House of Representatives. You may find it, sign it, and spread the word about it by googling, "A petition for Fair and Equal Treatment..."

Andrew,
As a followup to my previous comment on de Tocqueville and Campbell, I offer a practical exercise to you and your readers to experiment with the hypothesis proposed.

In my first post on this thread, I recommended the DVD "Seabiscuit". Along with it I now offer "Whale Rider" and "Ten Canoes" as DVDs to watch for predictions relevant to the coming election.

Seabiscuit is the classic underdog's overcome adversity story.

Whale Ryder tells of a new leader's selection that breaks with tradition and restores the vibrancy of the leader's community.

Ten Canoes tells of a tribe falling into crisis as a result of failing to follow the Law of the Land.

As a bonus, I add "School of Rock" to the stack as another tale of a transforming leader who connects with followers much younger than himself.

All four movies were produced within the last 5 years.

Watch all four and decide who you think they predict as America's new leader.

I am sure it will help those commenters who are upset with Paul's lack of media coverage to relax a little bit. Whale Rider and School of Rock both depict an emerging leader ignored or opposed by the establishment.

Watch them during the next couple of months and you won't be surprised by what happens in '08. You may doubt me now, but I hope to be able to say, "I told you so."


ABC is only showing the John Stossel interview on its website. I guess there's no room on TV because of all the "top quality" programming we already have. So much for "exposure" from the "ignorant media".


(Rob, as mentioned before, on TV you get what 2-3 mins and if you're not watching or recording you miss it. Online Stossel's interview (and this blog item and its messages) is there 24 hrs/day for weeks and weeks for many more to see it over time. If you really don't care about the dying msm, celebrate RP's inclusion in the new media.)

A fellow Paulista posted this at Politico Blog. It is a prediction based on historical precedent to compare to the prescience of art which I submitted earlier.

"The election of 2008 is remarkably similar to the open election of 1860 without an incumbent running.

I am surprised no one is talking about this, but the similarities allow me to boldly predict the following.

Ron Paul will be as great a President as Abraham Lincoln.

Lincoln served only 1 term as a congressman before winning the Presidency. Paul has served 10 terms as a congressman. I think he will be 10 times as great as Lincoln. He will have to be.

Lincoln had one major issue, slavery. Paul has at least 10 major issues: national bankruptcy, overextended military, energy shortage, broken tax code, broken borders, crumbling infrastructure, sovereignty threats from North American Union schemers and the UN, restoration of civil liberties, an obese bureaucracy that has burst the limits of the Constitution, failed foreign policy which has lost international good will, and an unregulated internet with net neutrality to ensure that the electorate has, or We the People have, a direct voice in the future that trumps all other voices, because the citizens are the real bosses according to the Preamble of the Constitution.

I know he will have a lot of good help from We the People to pressure Congress and the Senate to solve these problems. By means of the internet, the citizen bosses will keep their employees in line. Gridlock between parties competing to plunder the nation will no longer be tolerated.

The nation survived thanks to Honest Abe.

Now We the People have a new leader, Honest Ron, who will guide the nation's re-birth and who coincidentally is an expert at birth as he is an OB-GYN with 4,000 deliveries to his credit.

It appears to be an ordained outcome as gems like this are posted on the internet:
'I just picked up on two great bumper sticker ideas at http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/washington/2007/12/mainstream-medi.html?cid=93134144#comments' "

I also add that Lincoln beat Stephen Douglas, a Democrat Senator from Illinois. This could very well be a Paul vs. Obama election.

Both art and history strongly suggest a Paul victory in 2008.


(Alas, Joseph, I'm sorry to have to tell you that, in fact, Douglas beat Lincoln in that election.)

Wow!

Well I think blogs like this kind of show why Ron Paul supporters feel Dr. Paul cannot get a fair break.

Wow what a tome. Wonder judging by the number (poll?) of personal supportive comments who has the most support, Andrew? As for what supporters might do when RP's MSM poll numbers possibly increase, I think the more cogent question for your career (perhaps a little unconscious concern on your part?) is what are you going to do? Management does not approve!

Whose afraid of the big bad paper boy/baseball player/soldier/congressman/doctor Paul. Why is RP marginalized? Well there are multiple reasons. Let me just give three real quick that I see as pretty big. 1) He is an antiwar Republican, many in the Republican establishment have come to feel very strongly about warring on terror. 2) He is a pro life physician, many liberals feel very strongly about abortion and it is a mite bit difficult to take a "how dare you" attitude to someone who has delivered thousands of babies. 3) He (geez Lousie) dares ask why we want a federal reserve. People with money tend to feel very strongly about money. Just to elaborate for a minute on the last one, I saw today that the stock market improved as the (unelected) Fed initiated a new means of loaning money to banks (it seems they were embarrassed to use the "discount window" as it would show what bad shape they were in). This loaned money, it contributes to our debt? It needs to be payed off by taxes? I don't want to loan banks government money, who elected these people? Of course when "liquidity" is increased by increasing the "money supply", well now there's a lot more of the same kind of money that you saved. The banks are fine, the idiots who thought they were in an episode of the Beverly Hillbillies and bought a mansion they couldn't afford are paid off by the American people and you are less well-off. Normally it doesn't matter, and perhaps an argument might even be made for the flexibility of a fiat currency, I'm not an economist, but when there is a housing crisis, oil heading towards 100/barrel, large and increasing national debt, trillions spent on war and a spiraling dollar it becomes a problem.

When RP is elected, I wouldn't be too concerned, he (at least my guess) might pick 1/3 of his priorities to try and accomplish of these 1/3 will probably get through (if we're lucky) and the country will be much better off. Less and simplified taxation, fewer foreign entangling alliances (wars), greater personal liberty, better financial state, smaller government, more local autonomy especially on divisive issues, strong national defense.

I should stop here but I just have to comment on the "first tier" Guiliani with oh so much conventional coverage. As, an at least nominal Roman Catholic, who hopes to uphold at least a part of these ancient and lofty ideals, I first remember him from his failure to stop taxpayer subsidy of the dung smeared portrait of the Virgin Mary, "art", in his city. Don't hear much about that scandal post 9/11. Of course the opposition of the NYFD and the fact that his children won't speak to him doesn't help. But really I just wanted to ask if you have seen him in drag? There are dozens of pictures (the one with Trump buried in his rubber bosom is just super) and lots of outfits. What a cutie! There's even one of him doing the can-can with his buds. While I realize, that we all express ourselves differently, I just can't help but picture him doing the can-can with the nuclear football in his hand behind his friend. I'm hoping he does the next debate in drag. I'm not looking for perfection, but I'm allowed to say this is very frightening.


Lincoln lost the senate election of 1858 to Douglas but in 1860 Lincoln defeated Douglas and 2 others for President. My comment is correct as I am only talking of the presidential contest between the two.


(The debates were for the Senate race.)

"The implausible campaign has a website where the total so far is coming up on $11-million even before Sunday."

The British thought it was "implausible" a couple hundred years ago. Do the ruling kings of the remocrat/depublicans now think the same message of freedom and liberty is implausible?

It is human nature to want to have personal freedom. We want to keep our paycheck instead of having federal taxes withheld to finance dubious projects and dubious wars. The message of freedom and liberty is popular.

John Bremmer, thank you for your comment, you said it for me so well.
But dear mainstream media, Dr. Paul's knowledge of history, powerful memory, ability to think clearly on his feet and advocacy of our US Constitution, rather renders someone or some set of someones at your place the "old man" -- not Dr. Paul.

Andrew,
You asked, "what in the world are Ron Paul's supporters going to rail against now?"

I have thought of something to answer your question with a creative blend of history and art. Here is my answer.

The picture of 300 flooded school buses in a New Orleans parking lot after Katrina is all the evidence I need to prove that a government program will not save your butt. The emergency plan for New Orleans said that school buses would be used for evacuation. When it didn't happen, everyone blamed Bush, but did anyone ask why didn't the 300 bus drivers show up? No, they did not. I guess they were expecting a Bush clone to drive the buses

In contrast to that photo, there was a story of a young man who stole one of those buses to save his family and neighbors. His example proves Paul's message of freedom and self-responsibility. If you want a compassionate society, you have to be compassionate yourself and act when someone is in need. You cannot sit on your duff, and expect a clone of the president, essentially any bureaucrat, to act in your place.

We recently had a movie about 300 Spartans who saved their community. We need a movie about 300 Bus Drivers who failed their community in New Orleans. It would reveal what seriously ails US.

Thank God there is a chance for a good doctor to be in the White House, Dr. Ron Paul.

(Your point is well-taken and well-made. Unfortunately, those 300 Spartans all died and the Persians conquered Greece. But eventually the Spartans' spirit did win out, you're right.)

Sorry Andrew, but just to pick a nit you are being a bit defeatist. In September of 480 BC was the naval battle of Salamis, Thermopylae (of 300 fame) was earlier the same year. This naval battle, considered by some historians as the most important in the history of Western civilization definitively defeated the Persian (modern day Iran) invasion force and allowed for further development of Greek culture. Yes, Xerxes won a pyrrhic victory at Thermopylae but it is a stretch to say he conquered Greece as his invasion force retreated the same year, i.e he won a battle but lost the war. Wikipedia has an interesting poem evidently preserved from that era.

"Forward, sons of the Greeks,
Liberate the fatherland, liberate
Your children, your women, the altars of the gods of your fathers
And the graves of your forebears:
Now is the fight for everything." ;)

(Thanks. Good points. Mine was he conquered Greece. Then he left. thanks to what's-his-name with the Greek navy who threatened his long supply lines. No one argues with the Spartans' import.)

Andrew,
I recommend another DVD that has some artistic prescience related to this campaign, "Napoleon Dynamite". It has an election with an unusual campaign gimmick to support the candidate who eventually wins. So far Ron Paul has the most unusual gimmick, his own airship. There is also an air filled object that figures prominently in the movie.

bravo, bravo.

Drink LiberTEA at the Teaparty, Dec 16, 2007. Drink it for the first time.

All other candidates DENY LIBERTY.

Ron Paul is the greatest candidate I've ever seen. Consistent for 30 years. No flip flops. We are done with WAR, we want a real currency, we want peace, we want the welfare-state for the military industrial complex to END, we want to fix America and stop policing the world and to stop the authoritarian oppression here NOW.

Here is what the US Government without Ron Paul in charge has done to us:

- 9 trillion in debt
- 850 billion trade deficit
- War in Iraq
- War in Afghanistan
- Bin Laden and Al-Qaeda alive
- Fomenting War with Iran
- 12.25 trillion M3 money supply, and expanding (massive inflation)

Ron Paul’s record is crystal clean perfect and consistent. He takes no money from anyone but people and constituents. He is as pure as they come.

One of my favorite quotes about Dr. Paul, “You’re working for the most honest man in Congress.” That was John McCain speaking to Kent Snyder in 1988.

The media is full of dirty tricks, some of which you have used here in order to paint a negative picture in what would seemingly appear as 'coverage'
Shall I point some out?
1. Referring to Ron Paul as the 'Libertarian representative'?. Ron Paul has spent 10 terms in Congress as a Republican, is running as a Republican, he is not a Libertarian and Ill thank you not to lie about this again.
2. The John Stossel interview was never aired on television, they canceled it and only released it on the internet, cowards.
3. refering to Ron Paul as 'the old guy', this is a snide comment in order to send a message, right behind 'quiet grandfather' totally uneccessary. Would you call McCain the old guy? because he looks like he's already been dead and resurrected.
4. The media gave 13-15 second blurbs about the Dec 16th fundraiser while they talked for 10 minutes about Lieberman endorsing that 'old guy'.
This is blatant as the fund raising made history, yet AGAIN. Did anyone ask Ron Paul for a comment? No.
5. As far as us 'finding something' (to compliain about?) We have done everything we could to break the media blackout of Ron Paul to no avail however we are committed and we are a force and so we are talking to the streets. Do you know what we did find?
18 million dollars.

no more comments except: There are two fallen angle's.

Why are the US citizens allowing "the gobal establishment" to dictate the main stream media? Do not watch their news stations on tv or the internet. Bring their ratings down quick! They have their candidates picked and are attempting to push voters toward the candidates "the establishment" wants in office. They want their members in office to accomplish their dream of "One World Order".
