What I noticed on this morning's coverage of last night's debate is all the news channels, both liberal and conservative, pretty much ignored Ron Paul altogether as though he wasn't there at all. What's that tell you?

Some MSNBC shows do, like Ratigan. I watched Morning Joe today. When Ron Paul is on set they are respectful. I missed the first hour, watched and recorded the last 2 hours. No mention of him the last 2 hours. Plenty on Romney, Bachmann, and Pawlenty. Perry who wasn't even in the debate got coverage.
This is ok. Many around here would have no problem with a right wing news source doing this - it's only when it's a left-leaning news source that it's objectionable.

The republican machine wants their hand picked puppet just like the dem machine picked obama whom all dems are cowed and scared to run against in a primary for fear of being blackballed and run out of town.thats the way it works folks.

Exactly. The point of Fox News is to give the masses (especially of flyover country) the illusion of choice, where Fox News provides most "conservative" Americans the idea they have an alternative media outlet to NBC/ABC/CBS/CNN/MSNBC. In fact it is controlled by the same group of CEOs who want to continue to get all the trillions of government giveaways and want to provide you with two choices which result in the same net effect. More corporate handouts, more growing government, less freedom.
I'm voting Ron Paul, screw Fox News, screw all those dumb ***es who say I'm throwing my vote away. Even if that means Obama wins again, doesn't matter. You seriously think Romney is going to do better? Did McCain provide us a choice in 2008?
It's beyond belief, the unethical lengths Fox and other left-wing power-brokers will go to try and manipulate the masses into rejecting Ron Paul--in effect rejecting the principles of freedom and a fiscally responsible government that our nation was founded on.
Manipulation of the masses has reached incredible levels of sophistication, since I would have thought that fact that the poll indicated Paul WINNING the poll, would mean more to those who make decisions based solely on "following the crowd" than the crowd reaction would. Obviously I'm not a master of mass manipulation, like Fox News and other liberal media. They know exactly what works, because they manipulate every election and make sure their preferred candidate wins. No wonder they have to slander him and exclude him from debates; they know he'd win if we made the decision based on what he stands for.
The libertarian movement is based on those smart and independent enough to notice our nation and economy being systematically destroyed, despite the media telling us we are fine and recovering. I hope these people are numerous enough, and self-aware enough, to resist attempts to manipulate them so that the nation's destruction can continue unabated.
If you really think Thomas Jefferson was a radical and too "extremist" to be listened to, or if you think Big Government is the solution to our problems, then you are a true liberal and wouldn't like freedom anyway. But if you can think for yourself, and don't consider yourself a puppet and slave to all-powerful Big Government, just listen to some of Ron Paul's speeches. Or, if you're truly intellectual, read his articles: Congressman Ron Paul Archives.
Here's a taste of what Ron Paul stands for:
"We pay 35% more for our military today than we did 10 years ago for the exact same capabilities. The same could be said for the rest of the government. Why has our budget doubled in 10 years? This country doesn’t have double the population or double the land area or double anything that would require the federal government to grow by such an obscene amount." Just Freeze the Budget! by Ron Paul
On Libya: "We were told that this attack would last "days, not weeks" and we are already three months and likely nearly a billion dollars into it." (note: now we're five months in, with no end in sight) Strange Definitions of War and Peace by Ron Paul
"printing money out of thin air as the Fed has done and threatens to continue to do is not a panacea. If zero interest rates and quantitative easing could really solve unemployment, there would be no reason not to maintain such policies in perpetuity. Such policies, however, lead to the formation of asset bubbles" The Fed’s Funny Money by Ron Paul
"Every time the Federal Reserve engages in more quantitative easing and devalues the dollar, it is defaulting on the American people by eroding their purchasing power and inflating their savings away. The dollar has lost nearly 50% of its value against gold since 2008. The Fed claims inflation is 2% or less over the past few years; however economists who compile alternate data show a 9% inflation rate if calculated more traditionally....For decades our government has been spending and promising far more than it collects in taxes. But the problem is not that the people are not taxed enough. The government has managed to run up $61.6 trillion in unfunded liabilities, which works out to $528,000 per household." Secretive Banking Cartels Enslave*Us by Ron Paul
Hey, I love Ron Paul. He's the man. But he will never be president. What I don't get is how someone could claim to be a conservative but not support Ron Paul. Americans don't make logical, sensible choices when they enter the voting booth. I vote for the individual, not the party. It's gotten us nowhere. The Republican party is a joke. They just hate minorities and poor people. And don't be a poor minority?!?!
even talk radio is against him. hope the sheep wake up to this spoon fed BS that goes on election after election. Paul has my vote
Sheep never wake up. They are incapable of free thought. That's why they are sheep. They need someone to lead and think for them.

Otherwise MSNBC has always shown Paul in a fair light, the only of the big cable networks that has. Also keep in mind Paul's core base for years and years has been very liberal college age people.
