Just look at Ron Paul logic for a minuet and see the bigger picture.

1 WAR on drugs, how is that going, no common sense there.

2 WAR on terror, when do you ever think that will end. As long as the USA is
the invading country never.

3 WAR on your own people, your liberties, your freedoms, when will this end.

4 WAR on your income who is going to pay for all of this WAR.

5 WAR on your kids the ones that are left with this mess.

5 WAR on your medical system, how is gong to pay.

6 WAR on your financial system, look who got the money and who didn't.

7 WAR how much more can a county take and what will be next?

Do you see a trend here it sesames that is the only thing that's important right now, I ask Why?

WAR does not always fix things, and comes with a huge human cost on both sides, like they say but it sure does benefit some people Who is the answer find the WHO and then you will know why?

I've been thinking about it since i made the thread but didn't voice it
so perhaps today I should

Ron Paul was brought to this show because of what he said about Dick Cheney on Larry King

MSNBC was hoping he would participate in some partisan bickering but he didn't fall for the bait

As soon as he was asked about Cheney he immediately blurred the line between republicans and democrats

Just thought I should throw that in
thanks

I saw Congressman Paul speak at my university this fall. I truly believe that he is the type of person that we need in Washington.

The reason we don't have more politicians like Ron Paul here in the U.S. is because the majority of Americans get their news from the mainstream media. Though some programs interview him from time to time, he gets little coverage overall. My local newspaper, owned by Rupert Murdoch, never mentions his name--ever! Fox only has him on their program because he's not with the Libertarian Party anymore.

People can't consider a candidate they never hear from or see in the mainstream. Most people don't have time to sit at their computer and research people like Ron Paul to any extent. That's why I think the only real way he could stand a chance in 2012 is if we have enough supporters set up offices for him when election time comes around. This one's gonna take some beating of the pavement to get enough support (that is, if we still have any voting power left).

Ron Paul is a gem because he always knows the topic at hand and he speaks in a manner that gives people confidence that he is not trying to screw them over with some underlying agenda. Only JFK and Bobby Kennedy have ever come across that way in my lifetime. Proof right there that it doesn't matter if you're a Democrat or Republican. What matters is are you lying or not! Are you working for us, the people, or NOT!

I agree,
Main stream media ruins so many malleable minds. Supporters of Ron Paul are usually the wise minority who have enough courage to think for themselves.

Instead of believing a point of view that is purported to be the popular point of view but actually is misleading and aimed at polarizing the audience and win them over to a corporate agenda. Yuk.

There's no good news out there (maybe underground and independent, if such a thing exists) We should try gathering our own news by the news that they leave out or avoid; or asking our own questions. Any news that rolls off their tongues or news that they seem so comfortable reporting is most likely a lie or agenda based. I can see right through them now. I especially hate listening to financial news. What a crock most of it is. I wish we could distribute BS goggles for the masses

Well, getting some honesty in there is at least a start. Honest politicians don't come around that often. Despite all we're experiencing, I believe there are some that still speak for the people, although if we continue voting party lines and ignoring blatant crimes committed by our leaders, most of the honest guys and gals will become scarce. No dirty politician wants an honest one around.

I'm blown away by how many people here just regurgitate stuff they've read somewhere that is unsupported, unfounded, cherry picking sound bytes etc etc.

Deny ignorance?

Not at ATS!

Apparently this is the home of Ignorance. lol
