Participanti dont like ron paul’s opinions on taxation and entitlements. but he’s got a really good grasp of economics and global affairs as far as i’m concerned. perhaps our/my generation was born to sacrific like the silent generation before. if he can set things straight for future generations, so be it. i’m all for him.

ParticipantHe needs all the support he can get because the media isn’t giving him the credit he deserves. Check the online polls for debate results and then watch TV and barely even mention him. There’s a huge online following and it’s very exciting. He tells it like it is, and doesn’t sugar coat anything nor does he deliver anything in theatric rudeness.

ParticipantRon Paul is too smart to be elected in a country of Homers. Too bad, it’s our loss.

Exactly, Ash. The media will frame the upcoming election for all of us dum-dums so that we can make a decision without having to read anything or pay attention. For example, the story in 2000 was “Mister Smarty-Pants vs. The Good Old Boy”. Of course the Good Old Boy won that one. In 2004 the story was “The Flip Flopper vs. The Good Old Boy”. Again, the Good Old Boy prevailed. Fred Thompson or Mitt Romney will probably play the role of the Good Old Boy in 2008. The only question left is who will play the Flip-Flopper or Mister Smarty Pants. They might surprise us and give us “The Woman” or “The Guy With The Funny Name”, but it really won’t matter, because the Good Old Boy will probably carry it again — People love a Good Old Boy. Nobody likes Mister Smarty Pants.

ParticipantRon Paul is rad.
I think its simply amazing that he’s the *only* Republican candidate willing to speak out about how our foreign police *incites*, not fights terrorism. And is routinely shouted down as a result.

People are spreading the word, but the media is actively working to suppress his candidacy. They even cheerfully admit so! (just scroll to the bottom of the page). The online polls after the first two debates showed overwhelming support for this man, the MSNBC inboxes are jammed with messages from his supporters, but the media treats him like he’s radioactive. You’ll only see Dr. Paul on “The Daily Show”, “Real Time”, and on blogs like this one. If he does get any traction, they’ll “Dean Scream” or “Swift Boat” him. It’s unfortunate, but we live in a corporate banana republic with phony elections — there’s nothing any of us can do about it except go along for the ride. Get out there and vote all you can but don’t be upset when the Good Old Boy gets elected. It’s just the way this place works.
