      I am posting this on here as I feel it is a good place to get a message out.  The main news stations wether they be conservative or liberal, are giving the american people half (if that) of the GOP candidates.  If I only watched the news I would think there was Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich.  HOWEVER-  RON PAUL is making a major campaign run that is very successful and has many voters behind him.  The MEDIA is giving him an unworthy amount of time and exposure.  Please don't let the news pick the republican candidate in your mind.  Go on youtube and please check out what Ron Paul has to say.  I believe any logical liberal or conservative would gladly support him.

I think the reason he gets the most media attention is the fact that he is the least conservative of the GOP contenders, and that there are a significant number of hardcore conservatives that would not vote for him regardless, or so the media says.

??? me no follow scary man??? 

try and avoid paying too much attention to the nice intro photos in this link gentlemen... its tough, i know... but, the video is kind of enlightening.  i don't think he polls quite as well as the make it out to be.  but, i think its better than most possible republican nominees .

paul actually polls very well against the president. 

http://dailybail.com/home/rasmussen-national-poll-obama-39-ron-paul-38.html

this poll was taken in august and doesn't really address it from the perspective of RP being the republican nominee... its based off of his running against the president as an independent.   so, i actually think he would do better than the rasmussen poll suggests.   first of all, there isn't a person on the "right" side of the aisle that would vote for obama.  that means, if RP got the republican nomination, he would pretty much be a shoe in for 40-45% of the votes.  and secondly... imho, he is the ONLY potential republican nominee that could garner a majority of the independent or swing voters.  i dont' think i could stomach voting for romney or obama... so, i'd just waste my vote again anyway by voting for RP... i don't vote for the lesser of two evils anymore.  i vote for the man i think deserves the job and could/would best serve this country.  i think RP is head and shoulders above romney or obama.

This is actually from the comments section of the link above... not my words... but, i enjoyed it... copyright tommyo...

"Crash course the phony “two party paradigm” and “media created tea party” or Tit for Tat?

The current attempt of the media to blackout of Ron Paul while bolstering other candidates illustrates nicely the two great modern schemes operating in American politics facilitated by the mainstream media – those being: the phony “two party paradigm” and the creation of the phony GOP “tea party”. First, the concept of a modern “tea party” came on board with the Ron Paul supporters back in 2007 during the campaign. Actual pounds of tea were to be dropped by a hovering blimp into Boston Harbor on the historic day of the original Boston tea party against British tyranny as a gesture of defiance to the status quo (lost of civil liberties; unending illegal wars; nation building; destruction of our currency; torture and extraordinary rendition; abuse of civil liberties under the bogus Patriot Act etc.). Party affiliation, national origin, race etc. wasn’t important – all were welcomed - only a love of liberty and a willingness to fight for it and hence among those veterans the movement is rarely regarded as “tea party” but instead the “liberty” or “freedom” movement and it is definitely not GOP or PERRY or Bachmann!!

In 2008 when McCain and his side kick - Palin got their bloodied grinded behinds handed back to them by Obama. This is exactly what the mainstream media had orchestrated for the previous year – and the rank and file GOP voters predictably bought it – they bought media served “stooge of the day” McCain and side kick hook line and sinker! I invite you to research progressive AP reporter Liz Soldoti’s coverage of McCain 2008 and see how she systematically built him up “straight talk express” to become the GOP front runner – the MSM knowing he was hopeless and would get creamed by Obama! Immediately after the election in an attempt to do damage control the RNC/GOP and right leaning media embraced “tea party” to co-opt the movement for the progressive neo-cons – enter the right media ala FOX and the likes of social controlling neo-con personalities such as Rush Limbaugh; Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity. The left media, MSNBC etc. and their social controlling components: Keith Obermann; Chris Mathews and Rachel Maddow in an effort to maintain and reinforce the phony two party paradigm immediately labeled them racists and nut jobs stressing the “tea party” as against newly elected President Obama primarily because he was black!

Hence: the term “tea party” as currently hyped in the media is a creation of the mainstream media and simply equates to good old American progressive “neo-con”! The concept of “tea party” they propagate is a primary tool currently used to continue the “two party paradigm” . Anyone uninformed enough to buy in is being seriously played and hasn’t taken the effort to analyze the actual facts – just taking the media’s word for it like a good little boy or girl and keeping the “status quo”.

Allow me to go a little Taoist on you – the “real” tea party you hear about is not the “REAL” tea party!

There is no actual socio-economic and political ideological difference between – lets say, MSNBC and FOX – only the illusion of one! Both the (so – called) right and left factions of American mainstream media are all globalists - wanting to maintain American empire with all their corporate owners having direct BOD relationships with the giants in the military industrial complex such as: GE; Texaco; Chevron; Boeing; Lockheed Martin; Citigroup; Rockwell Automation; Chase, WorldCom, and JP Morgan; Haliburton, etc. and thereby financially benefit directly from the ongoing nation building and entrenched foreign occupations.

So the mainstream media as a whole created the current “tea party” as is hyped today, to attempt to contain and control the actual legitimate “liberty movement” (being the actual REAL “tea party” started by Ron Paul supporters in 2007) – it being a threat to the status quo and use the phony “two party paradigm” to help them do it. This is the illusion of two different parties counter balancing one another – please don’t say you can’t remember recently this spring when republican Senator McCain and democrat Senator Kerry went arm in arm bellowing for illegal war with Libya? Do you not find it is strange that Obama never changed Bush/Cheney policies regarding: torture; bailouts; WARS; Patriot Act and lost of civil liberties and abuse of American citizenry. Exactly - both parties want huge intrusive central authority – its just one side prefers to balloon the size of government with aggressive warfare and less social welfare and vice-versa. Americans are spoon fed the “two party paradigm” as a controlling device through the lame-stream media – that’s why globalist neo-cons like Bachmann and Perry are being hyped as “tea party” and that is why they are desperately trying to co-opt many of Ron Paul’s life-long political positions on things, such as: auditing the Federal Reserve.

For years have you scratched your head wondering - why are our representatives in DC doing this? Are they trying to destroy America? Unfortunately in a sense – they are. For the globalist in both parties it’s not about gaining a secure and prosperous American Republic – upholding liberty maintaining the supreme law of the land – the U.S. Constitution. It is totally about maintaining an economic empire for a select group of oligarchs using the American military. It’s about redistributing American wealth and technology and building “emerging” economies in China. India etc while de-industrializing America! It’s about destroying our education system with federal control so that our young people test dismally against students in the rest of the world in science and math! We could go on and on about the abuses Americans suffer at the hands of a rogue government! However, you and I both know that throughout the process of the dismantling of America, the mainstream media tells you “its okay – remember back in 2008 when they spoon fed us “don’t worry either top tier candidate, Obama or McCain will get us on track”!

The media is currently working overtime to convince voters that the candidates like Romney; Bachmann and Perry are significantly different than President Obama – this is definitely pure BS! All the 2012 candidates running in both parties EXCEPT RON PAUL are deep in the pocket of international banking and the military industrial complex! This corrupt system needs to keep bailing out criminals and keep this bogus war on terror going and ramped up bombing and saber rattling all awhile keeping the American people placated with the “two party paradigm” allowing for global elites to steal American national wealth and sovereignty! Ron Paul is the only candidate significantly different than Obama and therefore the ONLY ONE capable of beating him on issues that the majority of Americans heavily support (like ending: illegal wars; torture and illegal detention; abolishing the Patriot Act and Federal Reserve; stopping the IRS and getting us out of NATO and NAFTA etc.)

So, fellow Americans if by now you don’t acknowledge that Obama is a corporate puppet you are in serious denial or part of the subversion! If you want things to continue under the rule of the global “banksters’ and “tanksters” – maintain the status quo and allowing tyranny to grow under the phony “two party paradigm” - vote for the media’s "top tier": Obama; Romney; Bachmann; Perry etc., but if want things to truly change and have the assurance that you will have the right to be heard and not silenced then begin to restore America liberty now and support Ron Paul! He can’t be bought – and the establishment knows it! Check your states regulations for rules of primary voting and do whatever it takes so that you can cast your primary vote for Ron Paul.

WE WON’T BE FOOLED AGAIN!
RON PAUL 2012!!!! "

besides that the first line I think you are right on the money, what Reagan was in 1980 I hope RP will be this year. "dont' think i could stomach voting for romney or obama" that is what I meant in the first place, he dosn't cater to alot of the most conservative republicans, when Ron Paul does, and because conservatives make up the largest political group in America.

Ron Paul has to quite possibly be the WORST republican candidate that could be tossed in the mix.  If you're going to try to campaign a republican candidate against our moron president now, you'd probably want to go with someone more conservative. Go Newt!

newt polls pretty poorly against obama.. want to know why?... not only do independents despise the man, even some of his own party would jump ship if he were the candidate.

 Paul is getting my vote whether he's on the ballot or not. I'll write him in if I have to.

atypical is not atypical when it comes to swing voters... that's why i think the right would be wise to nominate the guy.  i'm in the same boat... neither party gets my vote unless RP has a big R by his name.  if he isn't on the ballot, i will write him in too.

What freals me out is how many people feel they have to vote for the guy that is the most "mainstream" or the one liked by the "establishment". There is a lot of that when talking about Ron Paul saying no one would let him get the nomination in the first place so why support him? Pretty sure its the establishment that has us in the pickle we are in now. Good ol boy clubs on both sides are doing the things that everyone is complaining about in this country and it will never change with people feeling the need to support them.

I dont go around guessing cup sizes either I just know a nice rack when I see one.

It's interesting to me to see both on here and nationally the lack of unity in the party.  It's like there's a perfect plan to kick our own butts in November.  I don't think the media is picking the candidate, but more so that the republican front is just scattered and the media's capitalizing on the indeciveness of the people.  Makes me wonder if the united front will come together in time.  Obama's so out of the focus right now it's unreal.  Instead Santorum and Paul are using their money to take down Romney.  good move.

I was part of the attempted united front last time, and have been part of it my entire voting life.

This time, I REFUSE to vote for the best of the worst. Call it whatever you want, but at the end of the day I will have voted for man I think is the best candidate.

And for the record, I doubt anyone would put that much money out there to simply take down a candidate - I can't speak for Santorum, but I assure you Paul is there because he wants to change the country for the better. 

It's not a trophy hunt for him, can your candidate say the same or should I say does your candidates voting record say the same?

Whoever is the nominee is we need to get behind him or her and get the people out to vote for him or her. 

Everyone that does not vote for them will just be one more vote for Obama and this country (which is you and I) can not afford 4 more years of Obama!

This must be the first time we are about ready to vote for a President where 3 years into the term we have yet to even have a budget in this country?

what up with that?  If they taxed us (everybody) at 80% we could not pay for what is going on

I don't think this is the Change anyone wanted,

Anyone but Obama.

 I wasn't asking for opinions when I posted this.  I was just trying to show everyone that they had an option other than Romney and Gingrich.                                      

But since it is opinions now I will add mine.  RON PAUL is the ONLY politician who doesn't have his head so far up everyones ass that he will actually do whats right for this country instead of whats right for his monetary/power/political gain.  AND as far as him hurting Romney....  I voted for McCain last election.  MADE me SICK to my stomach but I did it.  There was no way I was going to vote for obama or against McCain.  This year I will write in RON PAUL.  I will not vote for Romney.  I am tired of slick politicians answering questions like they do, avoiding answers and giving a bunch of bs.  And for whoever laughed at taking on the media, WE are.  Right here right now we are taking on the media!

I'm not so sure that this is what will hurt him compared to the fact that there is a Morman belief that dark skin is the curse of the children of Cain. That cant help him much.

Ron Paul can not be taken seriously because of his stupid foreign policy views. If he were Pres. during WWI and WWII what would he have done. Probably look the other way and then what?

I don't think his support is as strong or serious as portrayed. I think the left loves propping him up because they know he can't win once his stupid foreign policy is exposed.
