Not only is the media ignoring Ron Paul and many other similar things happening, but now he was crossed off of ballots on Long Island, NY and probably elsewhere too.  There are also stories about there being polling districts in numerous places that have reported 0 votes for Ron Paul, but there are people who voted there saying "wtf, I voted for Ron Paul there"

feck the media and corrupt people.  The media is totally controlling this election and nobody is getting a fair chance at the candidacy.

Corruption is bad, Ron Paul is good.
I wonder what's gonna happen.

[Vltava]

It seems like an isolated incident. Unless, of course, you can show me more proof other than the general assumption that the public must hate Ron Paul.

[Horve]

Looks like a fairly considerable amount of corruption? It is either you who has the wrong impression of Ron Paul, the rest of the people who have a wrong impression of Ron Paul or someone or something is calling the shots.

Shh, be quiet, you might piss somebody off
Like me motherf**ker,
You've been at it for too long
While you feed off all these insecurities
You stand in front of me and bite the hand that feeds

Self-righteousness is wearing thin
(Lies inside your head your best friend)
I'll bleed but not for fellow man
(Broken glass, your fake reflection)

Telling them it's all for something real
Don't forsake the words you speak,
You've gone too far,
Acclaim!

So how does it feel to know that someone's kid in the heart of America
Has blood on their hands, fighting to defend your rights
So you can maintain the lifestyle that insults this family's existence?
Well, where I'm from we have a special salute we wave high in the air
Towards all those pompous asses who spend their days pointing fingers.

Shh be quiet, you might piss somebody off
Like the heartbeat of this country when antagonized too long
I'll be damned if you count me in
As part of your generous hypocricy collected in a maze

Tabloid gossip, we want less real
(There's no need for us to bury you)
Selfish agenda, once again
(Right this way, deter your own grave)

Telling them its all for something real
Don't forsake the words you speak,
You've gone too far,
Acclaim!

All the way from the east to the west
We've got this high society looking down on this very foundation
Constantly reminding us that our actions are the cause of all their problems
Pointing the fingers in every direction
Blaming their own nation for who wins elections
They've never contributed a f**king thing to the country they love to criticize


Excuse the unseen, ignore the untrue
Depictions we see, try and get through
And many mistakes can't hurt
I'm not the last but I sure ain't the first

Shh be quiet, you might piss somebody off

Self-righteousness is wearing thin
(lies inside your head your best friend)
I'll bleed but not for fellow man
(Broken glass, your fake reflection)

Telling them its all for something real
Don't forsake the words you speak,
You've gone too far,
Acclaim!

Just what I said in the another thread. Ron Paul in media? No way! Democracy in USA? No way! Media brainwashing people? Hell yeah! Freedom? No way. Sure you can TRY to do something about it, but who cares? At least not goverment. Sounds like a pla... dictatorship, remotely.

http://www.dailypaul.com/node/20464 I heard about this in a few places regarding CNN's pie charts.  I heard of them doing this another time after a debate where they just colored Paul's portion of the pie chart black and didn't label it with his name, but Giuliani, Huckabee, McCain, and Romney were all labelled.

[Horve]

is there some sort of footage of it- images, a video?

They left out Ron Paul's percentage but put Richardson's 4% in the democrat chart

[Horve]

wow, the level of this bullsh*t is beyond my imagination. This was definitely intentional, no doubt about it.
I read the first post's link to the reports of witnesses.

[BondJamesBond]

Bleh, I don't think the CNN video means much. On the chart for the democrats, they only displayed four candidates' names - and they were the top four. Sure it is a little questionable that they would display Giulani's name instead of Ron Paul even though they both had 9% at the time (bottom right corner), but the focus was on McCain... And maybe CNN left Ron Paul out so he wouldn't be portrayed as a loser.

But it all makes sense. John McCain winning the most states? John McCain likely to win the Republican nomination!? Romney dropping out!?!? Our only hope now is to vote for the democrat, Barack Obama. wewt.

The only news I trust is my local news in Canada, CTV news, and CBC. I don't even bother wasting my time watching the Fox News Crap.

Here's a video of someone saying that Ron Paul wasn't even on the ballot at the polling place he went to.  Look at the full information section of the video to see other information about these incidents


An open letter to the media regarding their media blackout on Ron Paul: http://stealthfiction.com/please-ignore-ron-paul/  It is a few months old, but still true.

[Vltava]

Even if the media didn't bash Ron Paul, his ideals are way too extreme to be practical. The majority of the population, non-hipsters, wouldn't buy his lies. Another Jefferson in office won't help us in this century.

I guess if the constitution is extreme, then obviously he is the wrong candidate.

Withdrawal from the UN and NATO? Those organizations help keep trade free internationally. Complete withdrawal of US sanctions internationally? Abolition of antitrust acts? Of net neutrality? You can't possibly think that's not radical.

What most libertarians don't realize is that as your individual rights increase, so do those of corporations, thanks to the Fourteenth Amendment. Corporate power is the least democratic because corporations, once granted limitless charters (thanks to the Ron Paul's would-be abolition of antitrust laws), wouldn't give a rat's ass about our opinion.

Active government ("big, bad feds", as you Paul-bots like to call it) is more democratic in the sense that you can vote for your lawmakers.

Reactionary action is never a good idea. We're supposed to progress forwards, not recede back into the dark ages.

the constitution was written at a time when black people weren't human, and women were not supposed to have jobs. war was still an honourable and legitimate method of diplomacy and slavery was a legitimate method of labour. it took weeks to visit overseas countries as opposed to hours. the British monarch wasn't just a powerless figurehead.

times change, and a 200 year old paper isn't the best place to look for advice on how to run a country.

Isn't Ron Paul that transexual dude?

Nice job.

As for US sanctions, he believes in removing the US from our position as (or at least our attempt at being) the world's policeman.  He wants to go back to a foreign public policy, as republicans typically do (until Bush fecked that one up the ass).

What most libertarians don't realize is that as your individual rights increase, so do those of corporations, thanks to the Fourteenth Amendment. Corporate power is the least democratic because corporations, once granted limitless charters (thanks to the Ron Paul's would-be abolition of antitrust laws), wouldn't give a rat's ass about our opinion.

Some things like him wanting to get rid of antitrust laws would just never make it through.  You have to realize that there is a huge moderating effect to our government that will keep a lot of things from happening.

I support Ron Paul because I believe he is BY FAR the most honest, fair, and intelligent person running for the presidential office.  If you can build a good case for why we should vote for/support someone else, please do so.

As for what frogboy said about the constitution...

Yes, I realize that it is extremely old.  I also realize that the underlying ideas there are still very, very valid.  The framework for our government created by the constitution is still a very good one.  We need our government to interpret the constitution in a fashion that applies it to today's technology, issues, etc, etc.  Yes it is old, but it still is a very, very good for a government framework, and it is supposed to protect the US from a fucked up government or horrible leader (or any section of the government) like Bush.  Unfortunately, that dipshit just ignores the whole thing somehow ...

[Horve]

Even though Ron Paul seems optimal- if you were to choose: what kind of a leader you'd like to see "on the throne" both visually and concept-wise?
And if he were to be "isolated" like we have seen in this thread, what would your actions be? Brutal or rational- if the prosperity of a country would depend on it and some block-heads would emerge with their bureaucracy and corruption as your rival.
