Ron Paul himself hasn't given up the "Republican versus Democrat charade," so why should anyone else?
I think Ron Paul more sees it as him vs. the Republicans AND the Democrats, he certainly does not support the majority of the current Republican mindset.
I'm curious how others here feel in regard to media bias. It strikes me that Ron Paul is, and has been in past, treated very poorly by the media.
The "media" does not care about politics- it cares about ratings. If Paul wants to be on the news, he needs to MAKE news. And he's never going to do it standing on stage, fighting for air time with these bozos.
Paul should call a press conference, and announce his intention to run as a third-party candidate. He'll NEVER win a GOP nomination, so it will be his only chance to get on the national ballot. Then, he can pick a strong, compatable running mate, and run as the libertarian alternative to the corporate candidates from the Dems and the GOP. Believe me, he'd get PLENTY of media attention. Remember Ross Perot? Ralph Nader? Household names.
Paul may not win, but I bet he'd get close to the 19% Perot got in '92.
Now... if Paul declines to do this, we'll KNOW he was just another GOP corporate tool after all
I'm sorry,but I just can't agree with you on that...I think he is a horse of a different color,but none the less he has an R behind his name does he not?

I prefer to think of him as a Libertarian that strayed
from home We miss him
The media treats all Republicans poorly. It isn't limited to poor "Dr. Paul."
You're uninformed on the issue yet again. Many times when the media is discussing candidates they ignore Ron Paul. Even going so far as to include the lowest polling candidates in discussion while excluding Ron Paul.
Strange how your posts are consistently incorrect.

He has said many times our problems cross party lines.

That statement has been made by millions upon millions of people for decades,it's far from a Ron Paul revelation nor is he anywhere near the first to use that rhetoric/talking point.
I'm not cutting the dude down,I just don't think he has a snowball's chance in hell of ever rising farther up on the political stage than he already has.
