I was just about to suggest that as well, you know as well as I do ,that there ought to be a NEW advertisement for the media...


"BOUGHT AND PAID FOR NIGHTLY NEWS"

or


"WHOS who ON FIRST"

I also see what you are saying and it is annoying, yet , they have their own agenda.
It is truly sad to see it too.


I guess it's talk radio, then we can have a voice.

Hmmmm, maybe I should start a newspaper!!!

Look , it is no secret that Ron Paul garners a lot of votes from independents and democrats, we all know how believable polls are. At the end of the day it will be republicans that nominate the republican nominee, when we get past florida and get to super tuesday you will see Romney Thompson and Guliani rise and McCain, Huckabee and probably Paul drop. If Paul is in the top four after super tuesday people may start talking about him. Right now he is an anomoly!

He is an anomaly only to those who use words like "Freedom!" casually under their names.

Silas777,
I see your point, I have been going out and talking to people everywhere I can, the thing is they STILL havn't heard of him, do not know who he is, and some of them have absolutely no idea of what he stands for.

That IS the problem, if I could do anything for this country it would be to educate as many people as I could in a very short period of time!!

I would first tell them the voting record of every candidate, including those that voted for NAFTA , the Patriot Act, and alll the other travesties.

RON PAUL IS AN HONEST MAN.

You mean Doesn't want Ron Paul to win? If they were informing the public of his actual ideas, he would be far ahead of where he is. Though with all the money he has left, he seems to be in a good position. 3 winners, 3 states (basically).

The numbers I posted aren't POLLS, they're the actual numbers received in the elections. By virtue of those numbers, the press should be covering Ron, discussing his positions, comparing his ideas to the other candidates. Instead, the press is IGNORING him...and covering the two losers named Rudy and Fred. Why? I guess the TinFoilers aren't so loony after all. The establishment IS against him because Ron REALLY stands for freeedom

Quite strange that Giuliani is a 'serious candidate' when he is failing so miserably.

Even stranger that anyone considers him conservative.
