Your snipe at Ron Paul does not seem to have anything to do whatsoever with his stance on any issue. I have to believe it is therefore some kind of ad hominem - but you say you agree with him. If that is the case, let go of your anger over the rising tide . . . sink or swim, we’re all choosing to swim!

[…] That’s why watching debates like Tuesday’s Republican contest in New Hampshire was so frustrating. Listening to CNN anchor and chief moderator Wolf Blitzer take centre stage, speaking for nearly 20 minutes was ridiculous. (This figure doesn’t include the time consumed by his three assistants, who came from local news outlets.) […]

Be a good blogger.

Endorse Ron Paul.

Expose the mainstream media for the phoniness it is.

This “Ron Paul being snubbed by mainstream media” issue is ammuntion for you bloggers to claim that you write news in “Truth Territory.” Distance yourself from the distortion that is the mainstream media..

Endorse Ron Paul.

Paul is definately an underdog. However, underdogs can overcome. If people like you keep saying he can’t win, he won’t win, etc., then you have already sealed his fate. One must believe that he has a message that will appeal to the people, that he can overcome and win. If people believe he can win, then they will vote for him. I know I will. And if he doesn’t win the Republican nomination, then I will write him in on the presidential ballot.

What could be more appealing to the average voter’s interests than a candidate who acknowledges the existence of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights? We’ve seen a whittling away of our freedoms since waaaay before 9/11. The Patriot Act has only served to accelerate the erosion of our rights. Ron Paul is the only candidate from either major party (and don’t say he’s not a Republican, he actually supported Reagan in ‘76 when most of these guys did the politically expedient thing and supported Ford) who gives any creedence to those ideas we all had drilled into us back in middle school. If Ron Paul wins this election, blame the ineffectual educational system for actually educating us despite the worst of intentions.

on some tangent about monetary policy few Americans could understand

And apparently you are not one of the few. The “inflation tax” is so called because as a currency inflates its units LOSE real value. That is, your $100 now has a purchasing power of $95 this year, $90 the next, etc. Where does that $10 go? To a private corporation called the Federal Reserve, which is NOT a part of our federal government and has NO reserves of gold, and that this is so is flagrantly unconstitutional. America got rich on gold, and got poor on cheap paper printed out of thin air.

And I suggest a LOT more americans understand this than you give credit - and many more will know before november.

he is not going to win the nomination.

Well, then when he wins you’ll have no problem eating your shoe, right?

Be well.

Why so negative on Ron Paul’s chances to win the nomination? The other candidates are the emporers without clothes. Ron Paul is real.

Ron Paul is the only republican worth a vote and he CAN get the nomination if the support he is gaining on the internet is reflected in mainstream media! Guiliani and Romney have been on the news repeatedly with interviews in Time magazin and what not. But Ron Paul is the one leading on almost all internet polls. Spread the word, RON PAUL!!
