Ron Paul 2012

[John Wilson]

Gallup's numbers show a statistical dead heat, and they actually MENTIONED Ron Paul:

The numbers are interesting for several reasons to me. First, they say that Obama is in a dead heat with whoever goes up against him, regardless of who it is. That's very bad news for any incumbant.

Secondly, among registered voters Ron Paul is polling in a dead heat among the top 4 GOP contenders, which blows the GOP party-line rhetoric that he's not being taken seriously by voters. The people paying attention at this point are paying very close attention to Paul. In spite of being the invisible man on network news, his numbers are within the margin of error with everyone who is getting wall to wall coverage.

It's time for Ron Paul to make some commercials, and he needs to do it now while the iron is hot. His "Down with the Fed" message couldn't come at a better time:

1.2 trillion in loans from the Fed to private businesses, and half of it went to Europe. YOUR tax dollars. The Federal Reserve is not a government entity.

Outrageous.

Yeah no kidding. He's definitely picking up steam.

I like how the pawn Perry tried to ride Ron Paul's coat tails with the whole FED thing. He just came off looking like an idiot though. ;D

[John Wilson]

Exactly. Perry and Bachmann all of a sudden discovered the Fed is a blight on our nation, two days after Ron Paul explained it during the debate. Perry is a RINO moron. And it hurts to say it as a conservative. Well, not really- because there isn't a whole lot conservative about the mainstream RNC. I know that sounds like crazy talk to anyone on the left, but here on the right we're sick and damned tired of career politicians with no convictions. And I don't mean Harry Trafficant type convictions, I'm talking real character and beliefs. If Bill Clinton likes Perry, he ain't no real conservative.

If the first thing you notice about a politician is his haircut and smile, run like hell.

An AWESOME interview with Ron Paul:

Notice how he's not deflecting the questions and isn't constantly going back to his "talking points." He's actually answering the questions they asked! I'd love to see any other candidate or the President do this.

[Logan Schuetzle]

They always ask him about Iran on national networks to make him sound extreme. Then he starts making sense with his answers and the interviewer has nothing to say.

[Chris Kaufman]

More media bias.

Do you think this guy knows how the economy works? I WISH I had his portfolio:

Good short article:

I voted for Obama, Now I'm voting for Ron Paul:

New Ad calling out Perry.

[Michael Wells]

I'm to the point that, anyone that's a "front-runner" in the medias eyes, I'm going to assume is another puppet and will NOT vote for. If it ends up medias lovers, then it'll be voting for the lesser of 2 evils.

[Logan Schuetzle]

Wow, he got NO airtime at the debate.. He's gotta be irritated

[Michael Wells]

That sucks! I have it recorded but haven't seen it yet. I bet Perry had plenty air time if he showed up

[Chris Kaufman]

Yeah that was a total crock! They asked him around 3 or 4 questions and 3 of them were essentially the same. Basically when someone mentioned a department that Paul has said that he'd get rid of, they'd ask him if he'd get rid of it. All of them were loaded to try and make him sound not credible.

I especially liked how they asked Newt and Romney questions regarding the FED so that they could hop on Ron Paul's coat tails.

This was by far the worst yet. Romney just bitched about Obama. Perry is a COMPLETE MORON. Santorum needs to get punched in the face and quit already. Backman really didn't say much. I actually thought the ones that came out on top were Newt, Cain, and Huntsman. It's hard for Paul to win the debate when he gets completely ignored.

I really hope this doesn't effect his polling numbers.

Polls on NBC site: Paul is voted winner by ridiculous margin. All comments are about how Paul got shafted by NBC during the debate.
