Why is the Media ignoring Ron Paul?

Man, is this a fnord or what? They aren't often that blatant. I'd like to point out that it's liberal Jon Stewart who gives Ron Paul love, while so-called Conservative Fox News shows him no love.

I noticed that smirk from that guy when I watched the debates.

People need to wake the fuck up and drop bimbo Bachmann and get behind Ron Paul if they want a genuine Tea Party candidate up there.

The MSM is ignoring RP because he believes in limited government, very seriously. The MSM does NOT believe in limited gov't. At all.

Things are shaping up very nicely for RP. I give him a 40% chance of winning the nomination.

[Tinker]

I hope he does. Ron Paul would be the perfect person to have the debate out with Obama. That would be magnificent. It needs to happen.

indeed a fine principled and honorable man....

as to why he has been on media ignore

lets trace that circuit back.....

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-08-1 ... -down.html

Swiss National Bank Vice President Thomas Jordan said the central bank is assessing “a whole range of options” to prevent the franc, which reached a record against the euro this month, from making Swiss goods prohibitively expensive. Even a cup of coffee at Cafe St. Gotthard in Zurich costs $8.30, with one Swiss franc buying $1.2816 at today’s exchange rate.

so how did the the dollar which Eisenhower era tourists could exchange for 4 Swiss francs now be worth less than one?

the answer is to be found in the year that has cost Americans more than any other in history...1913*


a $20 purchase in 1913 would today cost $456


an astronomical inflation rate of well over 20 00%....


that's a more than 95% decline in the value of a dollar since Congress sold their constitutionally mandated duty to "coin money and regulate thereof" to a group of private bankers incorported misleadingly as the US Federal Reserve.

in the old days debasing the currency was done by clipping gold coins

imagine a coin whittled down to only 6% of its former size....

that's what the Fed has pulled off by switching to paper.

proving you can fool the people for about 100 years.

and the absolute necessity to muzzle Congressman Ron Paul.


if they cant, he may be removed from the public arena

with "extreme prejudice" as was John Kennedy


BEWARE BANKSTERS AND PREDATORY FINANCIAL PARASITES
they do not relenquish their power without a fight


*1913 was also the year of the first Federal income tax
a tax which a dozen Supreme Court decisions
had previously declared unconstitutional

Yes, collectivism vs. liberty. Let's see what America chooses.

Eversince JFK , America has always chosen the more photogenic man.

How come Faux News isn't supporting Ron Paul? Lapdogs of the Republican establishment, that's why.

If Ron Paul won the nomination, I'd vote for him in a heartbeat, despite thinking he's a bit of a loon on some issues. He'd be a good wrench to throw into the system.

The MSM is allegedly liberal, so we can't really point fingers at them. The real question is: why aren't all these so-called 'small government' teabaggers and annointed Christian soldiers rallying around the only small-government conservative of the bunch? Make it happen, Mr. P-bagger, or stop talking about STPN (which is what you'll get with Romney and Bach-man).

[Mr. Perfect]

I don't really know what Fox has to do with anything. They are watched by a few percent of the population. As CM points out the MSM would of course scuttle RP for the obvious reasons.

In all honesty RP did not associate himself strongly enough with the TP at any point really, compared to Perry or Bachmann who were very vocal advocates. So that is just reality.

RP is seen as a risky candidate. He is. I think Romney and Perry are both more electable. But I support RP anyway.

The GOP party machinery is all totally opposed to Ron Paul. One of the practical results of entrenched political parties is that they filter out fringe candidates that are against their long-term interests. Ron Paul really would work for limited government, which is terrible for all of the beltway insider types who run both parties on a day-to-day basis.

Also, unlike a Palin figure who the party could more easily control, Ron Paul would tell the handlers to go fuck themselves and stick with his agenda (which is more than can be said for most candidates, Obama included). So they will do everything to prevent him from winning, without looking like they are doing everything to prevent him from winning.


I'm not a Ron Paul fan at all, but he's being deliberately marginalized by the political classes.

[Hapax Legomenon]

This is a terrific thread. The fact that RP spans so many horizons on thought (non-establishment) is very encouraging. I love seeing people of all stripes embracing the truth.

[Mr. Perfect]

Ron Paul can beat Obama:

[NapLajoieonSteroids]

[Mr. Perfect]

That's right. If RP becomes a real threat the knives will come out. A pro lifer against entitlements? The CM types will NEVER support that guy.

The media love Huntsman because he is a liberal like them. They love liberal sell out Republicans. Love those guys.

The media don't care about Ron Paul because he is not a liberal like them.

Ron Paul is a House Rep (not a Senator or Governor) who has not spent his career engaging national constituencies, is a little nerdy and is in his 70's. All big challenges.
