I sit with an elderly lady sometimes, and we both browse the news stations. Just like last time Ron Paul is getting no media exposure. They will talk about any possible canidate out there who may or may not run, but they never mention him. It is quite obvious.

I noticed that last time, too.

Ron Paul did better in some primaries than Guillani et al, yet you had to hunt for his poll numbers.

The media has been shutting him out this time, too. Not sure why.......

Nobody took Barack Obama seriously until he won in Iowa and South Carolina.

When was the last time Ron Paul ran for office and actually won a statewide primary or caucus? It's hard for lot of people to take a guy seriously that has never won a statewide election of any type.

You know... it's odd though. When I search for "news" about Ron Paul on google I get 6,230 hits.

Now, sure, that's not as much as Sarah Palin (8,980) or Tim Pawlenty (7,900)... but it kicks Herman Cain's Ass (2,670) or Mike Huckabee (3,650).

Then I guess Rudy Guillani isn't to be taken seriously either.

They will block him out, because they know if he is put into the limelight, his message will hit home with many, because it actually makes complete sense. That will be the end of crony corporate capitalism, that the left hates so much.
All public unions will be a thing of the past.
Government spending would be practically eliminated.
100 years later, the roaring 20's once again.

He's a threat to BAU, that's why.

There is no dirt on him and he tells it like it is. You never can catch him in a lie.

The media hates that, there is no story there.
