The Revolution will not be televised… because the media is ignoring Ron Paul.

Even when Ron Paul is included in the Presidential debates he is treated differently. He is not given the same questions as the other “Media Approved Candidates”. Proof of this is the Florida debate. The very first question was asked and McCain, Romney, and Giuliani were allowed to respond. When it was Ron Paul’s turn, he was denied a chance to respond. The moderator just went to the next question rather than allow Ron Paul a chance to answer. Later in the so-called debate, a special question was directed to Ron Paul. The same question wasn’t even asked of the other candidates

Why has the media chosen to place Fred Thompson and Rudy “Benito” Giuliani in such high regard when their poll numbers, caucus and primary results, and delegate counts are far worse than Ron Paul’s? Thompson has received far more media attention by dropping out than Paul has gotten by his and second place achievements in Nevada and Louisiana. Not to mention how Paul received more votes in Michigan than Thompson and Giuliani combined. The media should treat all candidates equally and let the voters decide at the polls. Or perhaps the media is just another special interest group promoting their own chosen candidate? (That last sentence was intentionally facetious by the way.)

And speaking of the so-called “Debates”…regardless of who has broadcast the debates, these aren’t debates at all. How can they even be considered as such when the questions have typically been tailored to various candidates? A true debate would be centered on a single subject and the candidates would then actually debate the issue. Instead these so-called debates are nothing more than interviews. Interviews are fine and can be valuable but don’t confuse one for the other. An interview doesn’t require much intellectual horsepower. A true debate will expose much more about the parties involved. Interviews don’t have the same impact.

Let’s have the candidates debate a single topic for an hour or so. Then you will really see who has the real understanding and ability. Can you imagine Giuliani vs. Paul on the “War on Terror”? Hillary vs. Paul on Healthcare? Or McCain and Paul debating the economy?

McCain broke out his tap-dancing act at the Florida debate when Paul asked McCain about the President’s Working Group on Financial Markets. McCain looked confused and alarmed and went directly into a non-answer. He avoided answering Paul’s question and instead paid lip service to a laundry list of political cronies. Considering that McCain has plenty of experience in the US banking system (Keating 5, S&L crisis, fraud, corruption, etc…) you would think he could have given a better answer. Sad.

Brit Hume moderates what very well be the most thoughtful Presidential debate so far. Both Obama and Giuliani elaborate why they are the most qualified candidates.

Rudy offers compelling reasons why he is best qualified to personally hunt down Osama bin Laden and kill him with his own bare hands. Benito goes on to explain how he will rescue sub-prime mortgage “victims” and save the economy all in the first week of his regime.

Obama contrasts his views against Giuliani by essentially mocking Rudy’s failure to garner even 2% of the Republican primary votes so far. Barack then trash talks Rudy with a series of “Your Momma” jokes.

Brit Hume performs as expected.

Anyone that votes or is considering voting for John “Keating 5″ McCain because of his foreign policy stance needs to be waterboarded. Need proof? See the video. Better yet, McCain should be sentenced to 100 years in Iraq for criminal stupidity.

Unless you’ve been locked up in the Hanoi Hilton for the last 40 years, you should know that Putin is the President of Russia not Germany.

Fox News has gone out of their way to stifle Ron Paul. Fortunately the LA MyFox affiliate has shown Ron Paul the courtesy he deserves.

Watch this. Unless you are a Communist or a Fascist you are left with only one logical choice - Ron Paul for President.

President Eisenhower would endorse Ron Paul for President if he were alive today. Why? Eisenhower warned the American public during his farewell address of the very same situation that America has become entangled in today.

Eisenhower’s words…

A vital element in keeping the peace is our military establishment. Our arms must be mighty, ready for instant action, so that no potential aggressor may be tempted to risk his own destruction…

This conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry is new in the American experience. The total influence — economic, political, even spiritual — is felt in every city, every statehouse, every office of the federal government. We recognize the imperative need for this development. Yet we must not fail to comprehend its grave implications. Our toil, resources and livelihood are all involved; so is the very structure of our society.

In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.

We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals so that security and liberty may prosper together.

Now compare that to Dr. Pauls’ words from the Fox debate in South Carolina…

Let me see if I get this right. We need to borrow $10 billion from China, and then we give it to Musharraf, who is a military dictator, who overthrew an elected government. And then we go to war, we lose all these lives promoting democracy in Iraq. I mean, what’s going on here?

Don’t think that Ron Paul is weak on defense or personal liberty either, he’s not. Consider this from February 2005 from the floor of the House of Representatives…

I rise in strong opposition to H.R. 418, the REAL ID Act. This bill purports to make us safer from terrorists who may sneak into the United States, and from other illegal immigrants. While I agree that these issues are of vital importance, this bill will do very little to make us more secure. It will not address our real vulnerabilities. It will, however, make us much less free. In reality, this bill is a Trojan horse. It pretends to offer desperately needed border control in order to stampede Americans into sacrificing what is uniquely American: our constitutionally protected liberty….

Ike would vote for Paul. Why not you?

“Some have questioned my authenticity, but I am not a fake. I have recently returned from a 14 month deployment in Iraq and am now on reservist status. The purpose of this video is to express my frustration like many soldiers about the discrepancies between my experience in Iraq and the perception that the everaga citizen holds. More than ever, citizens must understand the situation in Iraq. Peace.”

This is the message that originally accompanied the soldier’s video when it was first posted on YouTube. It has since been removed but not before it had been reposted elsewhere.

The unnamed soldier comments on the Iraq exchange between Republican presidential hopefuls Ron Paul, R-Texas, and Mike Huckabee, a former Arkansas governor, during a debate on Saturday January 5. He especially takes issue with Huckabee’s claim that the U.S. soldiers in Iraq are fighting “with honor.”
