And some are asking the question, "So why does the media continue to ignore him?"

I also find it an interesting commentary on my state, a supposed hotbed of liberal/socialist/entitlement Democrats. Take out the city of Chicago and surrounding Cook County...and you have a conservative or Libertarian population for the most part.

Ron Paul is real popular out here in the Mountain West as well.

It really is bullshit how the media keeps ignoring him or downplaying his candidacy, pimping the more Establishment candidates instead. I think they know he'd really shake things up if he got elected, and it scares them to death.

[FunkyPertwee]

I agree with him on just about everything except Iran. He doesn't see radical Shia Islam in Iran as the pack of mad dogs that they are.

[MR. Polytech]

About time...Ever wonder why he's hardly ever mentioned in the Media?
Ron Paul is the Obama Administrations biggest fear...It'll be interesting what Obama's boy's come up with to slander him...Although I am not a supporter of Herman Cain, notice that NOT ONE accuser of Herman Cain will actually identify themselves; yet it's all over the Mainstream Media that he is a 'Sexual Predator'...He has already been tried & judged by the media (therefore, also in the public's eye's) even though NOT ONE so-called accuser will step up to the plate. Disgusting. I can almost guarantee that the Obama media slam team will come up with some way to attack Ron Paul next.

Ron Paul has won several Iowa caucuses/straw polls already, if he comes out on top Jan. 3rd I wonder how the media will bury that story

I think Ron Paul recognizes the potential threat of Iran but if those mad dogs aren't shitting in our yard is it really our business?

[blacksheep]

Fact is you remove Crook County from the mix and it's a solid red state.:thumbsup:

So establishing Hezbollah cells within America isn't shitting in our yard?

I have a feeling that the US government has more of a hand establishing hezbollah in our backyards than Iran does.

Let me know when your "feelings" become "facts".

Yall think Greece and the Euro problems are bad, let Iran set off a nuke anywhere in the world. Right or wrong, we are affected by things that happen around the world.

Which has what to do with Iran shitting in our yard and that being our business?

I'm the type to put them down whether they come in my yard or not. :)

If you're looking for more "business as usual" in Washington, this is the guy you need to vote for.

Cain is the only way to go if you have half a brain.

Sometimes it's better to have half a brain...than no brain at all.

Nor do I.

I see Iran as a pack of mild dogs. The Iranian dog has the body of a Chihuahua with the voice of a blue tick hound.

Not certain which I least trust.....Hezbollah or the US .gov.

(In another thread I have suggested selling Cook County to the Chinese. Should a sale fail then pay China to take Cook County.)


"So why does the media continue to ignore him?"


Well RP is pretty insignificant and cannot win. But that's not an answer to your question. RP is ignored because the Left Stream Media views Mitt Obama as least objectionable of the Rethuglican dwarfs.

I almost forgot you..no, he is not. Maybe in your hippie, dope-head side of the hill infested with kalifornicators, but not in the REAL mountain west.

I don't know about him being real popular out here. Here every one seems to like that douche bag Romney. I do agree though that the establishment fears him because he is the only one who for better or worse would actually rock the boat.

I speak from experience when I say trolls who contribute nothing to this board beyond sniping comments at other people's posts...don't last long around here.

Here's another piece of wisdom for you, bright boy. Try starting some threads of your own here. Dazzle us all with your repartee & deep insights into US politics & the economy. I know you can do it. :clap:

That because some of us on this board engage in an activity called work. As opposed to eating cheetos & grape pop the day long, while posting from mom's basement pc.
