The better Ron Paul does the less air time he gets, suggests Gambling911.com's own Jennifer Reynolds
MSNBC held a
debate last
night and did
all they could
to pretend Ron
Paul was not
there. Ron
Paul, the man
who is moving up
in the poles,
the man who
actually has
support and
money (his
supporters sent
him 1.8 million
dollars this
past Monday with
an average of a
fifty dollar
donation), the
man who knows
more about
economics than
all the
candidates on
stage put
together was
ignored to such
an extent it was
shameful. Here
are the
candidates, the
number of
questions asked
and the time
they took to
answer them:
Romney: 13
questions, 21:11
minutes; McCain
13 questions,
16:00 minutes;
Giuliani (who so
far has come in
last in nearly
every primary
except for one
fourth place
finish - oh, and
he is so broke
his staff is
working for
free) 11
questions: 13:50
minutes;
Huckabee was
asked nine
questions, 12:11
minutes and Ron
Paul, the man
who the media
does not see
only got 6
questions and
was allowed a
measly 6:31
minutes to
respond. This
is what you call
a fair debate?
In this debate
they used a
lovely little
new segment
where the
candidates asked
each other
questions and
what a surprise,
no one wanted to
hear Ron Paul
tell America
anything and so
they ignored him
completely. Ron
Paul however got
to ask McCain a
question about
economics
(McCain had just
finished saying
how well versed
he was on the
topic) and
McCain was so
lost all he
could do was
talk about
advisers, and
rattle off a
list of names.
He was clueless,
completely
clueless. So
much for being
well versed if
you can't even
follow a
question, let
alone come up
with an answer.
It was truly
embarassing.
To make matters
worse, after the
debate was over
they had a
graphic on the
screen over and
over showing how
the candidates
were doing in
the polls. How
is Paul doing
you ask? Sorry,
cannot tell you
that. They had
numbers for each
of them except
Ron Paul. It is
as if he does
not exist at
all. Finally,
the pundits
weighed in and
crowed over
Romney, they
were pleased
with McCain,
they liked
Huckabee, they
interviewed
Giuliani right
away and after
pundit after
pundit took the
stage to spout
off their
opinions not
one, not one
single person
mentioned Ron
Paul.
So, what did Ron
Paul tell the
people of this
country? Well,
I'll tell
you, because no
one else will.
He said he would
protect Social
Security for
those that are
on it or nearing
retirement age.
He said he would
make Social
Security
benefits
tax-free. This
is rather
important to
those that are
living on a
fixed income
that get a 2%
cost of living
increase each
year while the
true cost of
inflation rises
around 10% (the
discrepancy
comes from the
fact that the
Consumer Price
Index that
supposedly
measures
inflation leaves
out food, fuel
and housing
costs in its
analysis).
Ron Paul also
was the only man
on the stage who
has any
viability with
the American
people.
According to the
moderators, a
new poll shows
that 6 out of 10
Americans now
think that going
after Saddam
Hussein and
attacking Iraq
was not worth
the cost in
lives and
dollars. Ron
Paul is the only
man on that
stage who agreed
with Americans
and who has held
this position
the whole time.
He voted against
the war, he
explained that a
large reason our
dollar is
crashing is
because the
Federal Reserve
has to print the
money to finance
the war which
brings down the
value of the
dollar, and we
are spending one
trillion dollars
a year on our
empire building
with troops in
over one hundred
countries.
Folks - we are
broke, Ron Paul
knows why and
how to fix it.
Another little,
rather
overlooked
trifle of an
issue was
brought up that
night- the
recognition that
our Armed Forces
are on their
last legs and a
draft may be
imminent. Ron
Paul was the
only man on the
stage who will
save our
children from
being forcefully
removed from
their homes,
handed a gun and
put in a
bullet's path.
Most of the men
in the debate
simply buried
their head in
the sand and
pretended that
none of that is
true and that is
how they are
going to protect
your children:
by putting their
hands on their
ears and saying
LA LA LA LA LA
LA. Ron Paul,
who
warned about
this upcoming
draft a long
time ago has
the only real
solution: end
the war. If you
end the war
there can be no
need for a
draft. Romney
stated that
although the
military needs
another 400,000
troops, he would
just add 100,000
(out of thin air
perhaps?) and
ignored the need
for any more.
(LA LA LA LA LA
LA LA). Romney
also explained
how he got a
bunch of people
to sign up for
the military in
his home state
by promising
them a full
college
scholarship if
they made it
back alive.
Sorry Mitt, the
Army has been
trying that for
years even
adding a twenty
thousand dollar
bonus for
enlisting plus
an additional
nine thousand if
they ship out in
thirty days PLUS
the college
scholarship is
not enough to
get people to go
to Iraq. If he
ever read the
papers he would
know that his
suggestion has
been tried and
failed two years
ago and that
plan is
not working.
(LA LA LA LA LA
LA LA).
Stay tuned to
hear the real
news, not some
biased form of
who we have
crowned, and my
next article
will focus on
Ron Paul's
economic
stimulus plan.
After all, it's
the economy
dummy.
The fat cats
must really be
terrified of
Paul and his
plan to end
their reign of
stealing from
the rest of us.
Next time,
perhaps, they
will just gray
out the little
pixels around
Ron Paul so no
will know he
exists at all.
Folks, this is
abominable
treatment by the
media. If you
think so too,
please let them
know.
