News like this make me a happy panda.
Despite all the manipulation by the media, the man is still making huge progress getting the word out and making sense. Lets hope this is a sign of
things to come.
Ron Paul 2008!

I saw a news show the other night and they highlighted every candidate there and showed something they said, and not once did they report anything Ron
Paul said, they showed him once in a shot of someone else and that is how I knew he was even at the debate. It is really disgusting how they are
trying to shut him out and give him absolutely no press coverage.

Yeah I know. Its sad to see all this obvious manipulating going on. If the media was not so biased, Ron Paul would be all over the news.
The powerful International Murdoch Media empire are also trying to discredit his popularity in Australia:
 In Australia, now that Ron Paul's infamy is spreading fast, and his reputation as one of the more credible and interesting Republican candidates
is taking root, the Murdoch media has decided to kill off the story of a real presidential underdog before it excites too many journalists down
under.

Never heard of Murdoch Media? Owned by Robert Murdoch, a very powerful neocon, war monger and Bush supporter. See below.
 In the U.S., he owns the Twentieth Century Fox Studio, Fox Network, and 35 TV stations that reach more than 40% of the country...His cable
channels include fast-growing Fox News, and 19 regional sports channels. In all, as many as one in five American homes at any given time will be tuned
into a show News Corp. either produced or delivered."

Ron Paul is up against some very powerful forces.

It is blatantly obvious that the two people they least want to gain any popularity is Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich ...
A dem debate is a debacle. I think the top 3 for them have all agreed amongst themselves they have a position no matter what.
It is a shame the questions and time given is so skewed on both sides. Equal time to all opponents should be mandatory ... how can people form an
opinion about someone if they can't hear their views? The last person I want is Rudy ... what a hack. I will write in somebody before I would vote
for him.
I can't wait until after the primaries, see who is put in place ... then see what happens after that ... I would be readily amused, even if I
didn't like the candidates if a whole bunch of side parties popped up. Ron Paul could run as a Libertarian, Nader as Green, Kucinich as Peace, Gore
as Earth, Bloomberg as Independent, Powell as Veterans ... you know, a real multiple party system like it is suppose to be ... they wouldn't know
who to smear, but, we know who ever they gave a lot of positive air time to, stay away from!
If you believe the theories, we have no real choice.
Thanks for the thread, it seems RP is overcoming the odds (those numbers are quite shocking!) ... which in a way scares me ... if you over-analyze
it

This is just freaky, this is the kind of stuff that you hear in the most sadistic novels or movies, this is just strage stuff...
What are they going to do, are they going to rig the primaries... or are they just going to take him out JFK style?
The poweres that be stand to lose to much power to allow Ron Paul to rise to power, if they can't make him disapear by not giving a fair shake in the
elections, then they will resort to 'other' means...
I was wondering why no TV staions were running stats about who won the debate... now i know...
Ron Paul is gaining so much momentum, People at my school are putting Ron Paul signs all around campus, and its not the Republican Club thats doing
it, people are starting to ask questions, 'who is Ron Paul' is the phrase of the week, people are seeing Paul dismissed without getting any reason
for it.
Talk, spread the word, the truth is in the underground now...

And there's people who actually don't believe we are in some form of matrix control. If the other candidates are so popular, how come they don't
have people voting in Internet polls the way Ron does. Ron Paul is doing well and beating top candidates in real straw polls and he gets no attention
or very little mentions in the press. The media control is so pervasive and so in your face, based on the funds raised and the grassroots and Internet
buzz, Ron should be mentioned a lot more in the press. He's a top tier candidate, especially if Guilani and John Mccain are considered such.

Yes, i love how they continue to call McCain a 'front runner' when he consitantly gets about 2-5% of votes in the polls.
And how Thompson is a front runner, even before he had announced
Meanwhile, Paul gets over 25% in each poll, and is growing in strengh, and still is dismisssed my the Lame stream media.
We have gotten to the point where they are gtaking down the polls because they don't like what the people are saying...

I'm a registered republican and after seeing that debate...I like Ron Paul. I don't agree with a lot of his Iran rhetoric (personally, I think
it's going to be a disaster if Iran gets nukes), but his other opinions are enough in line with mine that I'd consider voting for him. I think
putting him against Hillary would be a landslide. Lately she's cast aside her anti-war position which makes Ron Paul the obvious choice for all of
the anti-war Dems out there.

I just ran an experiment on the chat site www.spinchat.com....
I went into various chat rooms and began to ask questions about Ron Paul.
Some person named "Moochy_O'Connor" who apparently graduated from some liberal University (but apparently, she's republican) seriously believes
that Ron Paul is an idiot.
I don't want to get into all the petty details, but the conversation led me to believe that the education system, especially at the
college/University level, seems to be doing a lot of the manipulating as well.
One of the most common responses I received (and the so-called graduate of said University spammed it constantly, like a child), "How dare you not
back up our country's military! You should be ashamed! If you don't have faith in your country, then maybe you should move out! You are a
disgrace!"
Again, this is a graduate of a University supposedly. Isn't there a "personality 101" or something...?
On topic, I think that Ron Paul definitely has just as much online opposition has he has people for him.
I'm for him. He's a good man. It doesn't take much to figure that out. I'm just trying to figure out why people are against a good man.

Blah blah online votes are not scientific and you can't draw any conclusions from them blah blah blah blah he gets no more than 2-3% in national
polls with a proper sample and reputable methods blah.
Same comments, different day.
Ron Paul has good ideas but no one will vote for him. Sorry.

It is ironic that you consider your mood optomistic.
Blah blah blah. Cough.
Ron Paul can win, but it is up to us to make sure he does. With that attitude, we might as well hope for the next best idiot to take over and start
flinging nukes everywhere.
Or, we can donate to Ron Paul and support him online and in our daily lives.
That means being willing to take crap.
How optomistic are you?

I'm absolutely optimistic, I'm just bored with refuting the false claims that Ron Paul is somehow going gangbusters. He consistently has 1-2% in
polls by CNN, Gallup, American Research Group, Opinion Dynamics, NBC News, ABC News, Cook, and Pew. Internet polls can be manipulated because they
deal in non-random samples. Paul supporters over-represent themselves in online voting and you can draw no meaningful conclusions from those
"polls."
As of today, he seems unable to create a coalition of people who could put him in the White House, because, for example, the same people who agree
with his foreign policy probably wouldn't agree with his belief that workers should be able to opt out of Social Security. Unfortunately, those who
agree strongly on 50% of what he says can probably find someone with whom they agree mostly on 85% of what they say, and history shows that they go
there.
Paul and his supporters would be better served, I think, positioning himself for the coming realignment of the political parties so that he emerges
having led the way into a new perspective on American politics. His supporters have shown that they can mobilize online and appeal to youth. Let
them do what they're good at. I'm optimistic about something like that having a good chance.

I don't know if you guys have seen this video yet but I found it pretty interesting. It's a Fox news segment after the Iowa straw, it shows how
they don't even mention his name even though you can see lots of people in the crowd with Ron Paul banners. Halfway during the segment, they say
that there's a problem with the vote counting machines and therefore a delay in the final result. It definetly looks suspicious, kind like Ron Paul
won a majority and then they just rigged it in favour of Romney.
