That's really old news. They've been doing a stellar job dismissing Paul for quite a while now. He isn't being totally ignored but certainly dismissed in favor of covering Romney vs. the flavor of the week.
If he'd mentioned our invisibility cloak, he might have gained a respect point. ![]() Edited by Slartibartfast - January 09 2012 at 07:01 |

It is the brave new world of the superpac. You guys don't know how much I enjoyed seeing Gingrich being hoisted with his own petard. Now they're all turning on Romney for his job destruction which they all championed before.

![]() There was an article on the front page of today's paper with the headline Gingrich One Foot In New Hampshire The Other In South Carolina or something like that. They forgot to mention Head Up Ass. ![]() ![]() Pat Robertson: "I'm a f-ing loon" Claims God appeared to him, showed him the future “I think He showed me about the next president, but I‘m not supposed to talk about that so I’ll leave you in the dark — probably just as well — but I think I know who it’s gonna be,” Robertson said on Tuesday‘s episode of the Christian Broadcast Network’s “700 Club.” ![]() Edited by Slartibartfast - January 10 2012 at 17:28 |

Anyone else think the media might push the idea of a "Perry surge" in the final couple days leading up to SC's primary, like they did successfully in Iowa with Santorum and unsuccessfully in NH with Huntsman? Continue the early trend of trying to galvanize late decision makers around the most ridiculous candidate at the time by telling them he's actually doing well.

I think Gringeech is expecting to have a strong showing in S(i)C. I hope he gets a severe smack down. Cheers for Huntsman for coming in third in New Hampstershire. Of course he's doomed because he served as ambassador to China in the Obama administration so he'll have a very hard time slamming Obama on anything and everything in the general election. Who's this Paul guy again?

Well of course he will, he's Gingrich
![]() Huntsman has no real chance, like other "lesser" candidates he's had a surge but unlikely to last. Still is a pretty easy road for Romney but with all the candidates hanging around, that's more people to siphon votes from him and a good ol conservative state is coming up! |

How is that pathetic? It seems pragmatic to me. Ron Paul will not get the nomination, and if he decides to run as a third party the Republicans will not win the general election.

It's pathetic because folks have already decided who will get the nomination at the behest of the media. To me, that's pathetic. It says: "No man's message matters. Only his electability." I've read news articles that say "Mitt is SC's choice" and the article discusses how SC residents have different views on who should win. Really media?

Yeah it's upsetting, but could we really expect anything else from the mainstream media?

It's all the more odd that they are still pushing the unelectable angle considering the latest national polling. The third-party question to me is sickening, at this point. There is no way Ron is going to run as a third party candidate (although I'd love that should the republicans continue to treat him this way) because he knows that the system is gamed against third parties, making the movement have to take place within the Republican party, and also because it would really hurt Rand's chances at the presidency down the line. The media knows better and is just using the question to create the perception that primary voters can't trust him (mindless party loyalty still being more important, in the end, than issues to a lot of voters). At least they are starting to acknowledge, in some corners of the media, that the republican candidate can't win without Ron Paul and his supporters.

This may have already been asked, but are you Paul supporters going to hold your nose and vote for Romney or sit it out?

I'm not. In fact, I'm going to give you an extremely hard time, slarti, if you do that for Obama (considering you'd just be voting for Ws 4th term). I'll likely be part of the 10% of the vote Gary Johnson gets should Ron Paul not be the Republican nominee.

I'd rather eat rancid meat than vote for Romney. I'll sit it out unless I decide to vote for an attractive third party candidate. I'm not sure one exists. |

While I'm not a big Gary Johnson fan he'll probably have my vote should the gop not come to their senses. Already said this, as well, but the gop should realize that Ron Paul's core is not going to vote for Romney. We will either write Dr. Paul in, sit out completely, or vote for Gary Johnson. Mitt Romney has no chance of being the next President of the United States.

Is that even serious? ![]() And it is pretty hilarious the "dilemma" with Republicans. I love how all my friends cite the basic bullet points they like and there's the guy who espouses it but he's a loon, a "crazy senile old man! Romney is my vote. " Makes sooo much sense. |
