Ron Paul’s “Imagine” speech turned into an epic campaign ad.
I’m stuck between Paul, Johnson and Cain. Less so Cain. Consistency. Consistency. Consistency. That’s what makes me a fan. Sure, I think Ron Paul is a bit of an optimist about the “Utopian Libertarian society” and I disagree with a fair amount of his stances, but his general principles as a…
I’ve supported Paul since the 2008 election because he comes across to me as an honest, educated individual who has clear, consistent views that he is not afraid to stand up for despite what the general public thinks about them. Obviously I also agree with many of his views. Regardless of what an individual’s views on the issues are though it is indisputable that the man will probably keep his word while in office and “surprises” won’t be too likely. His views are somewhat radical compared to many, but I think that a growing portion of the country is becoming accepting of many of them and want a candidate that simply isn’t going to bullshit them.
Should be interesting to see where it goes from here… in the mean time, Ron Paul ‘12
Hmm.
Can anyone tell me if there’s anything peculiar about how MSNBC is displaying its poll results? (h/t Bob Murphy)
*Here’s another screen cap I just took. And another. And another.
Ron Paul raised $4.5 million in the second quarter, but MSNBC completely disregards this fact in the nice little graphic shown above. This, in addition to CNN’s poll switch, makes it pretty clear that the media is doing everything in its power to keep Ron Paul’s name out of the political discussion. Why would they do that, though?
Well, let’s think about it logically for a minute.
Where do media outlets get their money? From advertisers.
Who’re the advertisers? Corporations.
Where do corporations get a lot of their money (and all of their bailouts)? The federal government.
Who wants to break up the circus that is the federal government? Ron Paul. …
It’s time we ditch the term “mainstream media” and replace it with something more appropriate. I propose that we begin calling it the “corporate media.”
