Ron Paul, has no chance of winning | Print |  E-mail
By Shahram Vahdany   

Although the attention Ron Paul is getting in Main Stream Media (MSM) is changing the more money he raises, something Ron Paul believes himself to be a 'sad' situation, many analysts still believe he has no shot at winning a nomination from the Republican party.

But those 'political experts' interviewed on the MSM news programs who say that Ron Paul has no shot at gaining 270 delegates come primary time only appear to fuel the passion of Ron Paul supporters.

The rolling of the eyes, the sighs, and the general apathy towards covering any news issues having to do with Ron Paul is recognized by Paul supporters who watch those shows, and each one of them apparently takes every expression of media apathy as a personal insult. This appears to cause them to believe even stronger in the Ron Paul/Freedom Revolution.

At a local town meeting this week the issue of media and Ron Paul was discussed.

"We do not want to be told who can win and who can't by people in Washington who we can't relate to," said John S. from Florida.

Melissa Jones, a young professional from Alabama said, "we want major changes in America, we don't want just what the main stream reporters tell us we want."

Debate over the quality of media in the country, and the influence MSM has over the direction of the US government has been stirred this week because all the MSM news stations shut down their 'news reporting' one day in order to show every detail and action of the first day of the OJ Simpson trial.

"The amazing part was that it wasn't even the real trial, it was a just a hearing to see if they should even go to trial," said John S.

This led others at the local get-together to ask the question... "what else was going on in the world while we had no other choice but to watch OJ's meaningless trial?"

"According to Fox, MSNBC, and CNN, nothing else was happening anywhere in the world," one attendee responded.

Others mentioned how the same thing happened with Anna Nicole Smith's death, or whenever Britney Spears does something stupid, or even when Ellen cried on her show over a lost dog.

"MSM becomes blinded to the rest of the world and this is who influences the majority of America," one person said.

"They (MSM) keep thinking they know what we want to see, but with Ron Paul we are trying to tell them that we want to see him, but they don't seem to be listening," another person said.

Another enthusiastic lady summed it up when she said, "Sooner or later, probably later, main stream media will realize the country really wants change and they will recognize that Ron Paul is leading that Revolution for change, and eventually they will start to report the ideas of Ron Paul without simultaneously disregarding him."

Whether these supporters are right or not, the reality is that the passion for Ron Paul is strong in this country, and Ron Paul supporters seem to be growing exponentially the more analysts say he can never win.

Wow!?
I was almost ready to get indignant or something, but I think you are on to something here... The way old media has taken upon itself to try to manipulate public opinion. The question to ask is who is orchestrating this? Or why is it happening??? 
 
Maybe you should look into this some more and do an in depth expose!

Wow!?
No Chance ... 
 
I don't think the major media can stop this spectacular, synergistic sentiment. 
There's just too much momentum on the independent media (blogs, YouTube, MeetUp) to ignore the Ron Paul campaign. 
What is interesting is the "feedback loop" of fundraising, activism, and the major media trying to maintain their credibility. Every event and report feeds the craving for more information on Ron Paul and stimulates more interest and more news reports. 
Just one isolated fact - that people have viewed more Ron Paul videos (now over 6 million)than any other candidate of any party - indicates that the Ron Paul "Revolution" is on track and growing by leaps and bounds every day. 
When people actually start voting, the major media will be absolutely astounded.

Have a look at google trends www.google.com/trends Ron Paul is consistently ahead of every other 2008 presidential candidate in internet(Google) search volume. However, his news reference volume is at the bottom of the pile. This is very surprising structure.

Well he has the support of every single neo-nazi organization in America so we will see how far that will go for him.  
 
That is a pretty impressive performance. 
 
I wonder why they love RP so much ;) :?

I'm a Ron Paul supporter. I think we should talk more about his support of the Constitution that anything else, because that is what is at the heart of everyone of his positions and ideas. It's so ironic that wanting the Fed Gov't to follow it's charter (the Constitution) and balance it's budget is seen as radical. It's actually very conservative idea.

Since these neo-nazis supported GW Bush last election, I'd say pretty far. 
 
On a more serious note, this guilt-by-association crap is such transparent BS. And since that dog won't hunt, now people like Glenn Beck are equating his Nov. 5 fundraising effort to domestic terrorism. I kid you not. How long until these people start claiming that he drinks the blood of children and kicks puppies for cheap thrills?

The controlled media needs to be crushed.They are controlling the weakminded with perverted ideas and hiding the truth from us. 
It is wrong that lies ,written on a piece of paper, or words said on TV and Radio, supporting a group of evil people,can have such a big impact on a persons minds. This is simple brainwashing and needs to be stopped.
