CBS news??

[cpmer]

I was just watching CBS news and they were going over the GOP primary and went through the candidates in the race and what do you know....no ron paul at all. Still mentioned thompson and giuliani even though RP generally out polls both of them yet they don't mention him at all. This whole shit is so obvisously rigged it just bothers me that they can get away with it without question.

giuliani is sitting on floriduh (which has more delegates than all the states that will have voted up to that point combined), and polls well nationally. RP doesn't poll shit on a stick nationally. thompson should do well in south carolina. RP won't.

edit: real clear politics has giuliania outpolling paul 3x over, and thompson outpolling paul more than double.

And more importantly Florida is the first(of many) winner take all states.

I am going to slap a bitch if giuliani becomes the next president.

This is kind of like complaining that, when talking about the Superbowl this year on ESPN, none of the Sportscasters mentioned the Miami Dolphins or Oakland Raiders. No doubt a small contingent of fanboys were steamed about it but there was good reason for no mention of them. They were not truly contenders.

The media doesn't want to hype up Ron Paul, because that would increase his numbers and make him a greater factor in the election.

What a predictably obnoxious phrase when there are countless better ways to make the same point.

I think I'll lynch a..., oh nevermind.

He already hit double digits.. He already has a few delegates..

He raised more than any other Republican candidate last quarter.

You seem like you are absolutely determined to be ignorant.

Of course it's Rigged... And... They don't want RP in the elections or in the spot light... WHY? He is too radical, He is also not for Israel and if your not on that side good luck getting anywhere in politics. If you don't have XXXmillions of dollars in support... If you don't bend down to the people in power and turn a blind eye... Then your not gonna go far. RP won't amount to hill of beans... For some reason I thought he had a chance. Maybe 20-30 years ago he would have a chance but not in todays 2 party CORRUPTED system...

If you thought politics was fair you better open your eyes again... Amazes me that you would have faith in any american news casters. I stopped watch that BS a long time ago...

Just pay your taxes ... Act like your happy and get on with your life it's not gonna change because what little rights we had left just got stripped.....

 

[palehorse]

Ron who?

 

[Farang]

Dan Rather, Sheebeeyusnooze.

 

[Whoozyerdaddy]

OK FINE FINE!!! I'LL VOTE FOR RON PAUL. YOU WIN! I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE. IF I PROMISE TO VOTE FOR RON PAUL WILL YOU PROMISE TO STOP CRAPPING MY IN BOX AND QUIT HAUNTING MY DREAMS? THE SPAM HAS CONSUMED ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111!!!!!!1one!11!! MADNESS! HHAAAAAAAAAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA

I WILL NOW VOTE FOR RON PAUL LEST HIS SUPPORTERS LEARN HOW TO HACK MY BRAIN EAT MY SOUL. MMMMM... BRAINS...

 

[First]

I almost don't want to vote for Ron Paul in the California primary out of spite for the Ron Paul trolls in this forum. Get over it, nothing is rigged. Paul just isn't that important to the media or the American public at large. It's a sad but true reality.

 

[WhipperSnapper]

Perhaps if Ron Paul wanted to end illegal immigration, reduce legal immigration, end foreign outsourcing, and end foreign work visas he'd have more support. However, he basically advocates the same type of free trade dogma that put the U.S. economy in its current state to begin with.

Polls are different than the votes.

When Paul can become more of a blip on the screen then complain.
Thompson was a Senator which commands more media respect than a Representative.
Giuliani was head of NYC which also commands more media respect than a Representative from TX.


It is not that the system is rigged; it is the candicate has not been able to create any sustainable media interest.

Paul did not meet the level that his polling "showed" in the first 4 contests.
Why?

Answer that question and you will also have the media coverage answer.

If this is what you quantify as disturbing, you need to get out more. You point to RP out polling Giuliani. Giuliani is polling far ahead of the field in NY, CA, and FL. As in 1st place. Where is RP polling in 1st? 2nd?? 3rd???

Thompson isn't going to win didly either, but people like looking at the old guy from Hunt for Red October and saying, hey I know that guy!

You want a recent national poll on RP? http://www.pollster.com/08-US-Rep-Pres-Primary.php

RP in last place with 4%. Thompson doubles him at 8%. But hey, he's on the poll at least.

Your answer did not refute any of my original argument. I say he already hit double digits in actual voting.. he already has some actual delegates..

and then you tell me that polls are different than votes - implying that polls don't matter. Well, I agree - polls don't matter - but I am saying that Paul got 10% actual votes in Iowa and he has actual delegates..

 

[FoBoT]

after Thompson and Guilliani fail in S.C. and Florida, then they'll stop talking about them

super tuesday will be between Romney, McCain, Huckabee and it won't necessarily knock two of them out

RP can keep getting his 5-9% , so what

 

[LTC8K6]

A caucus is not a primary and Paul only got double digits in Iowa if you round up, iirc. 9.7% was the actual number, iirc.

He failed to garner even 8% in the great independent New Hampshire.

And you're right, there is a difference between a caucus and a Primary.
