Go post a response for today's Cafferty File question about Ron Paul

Jack,
I could rant about the unfairness of the polls, and I could make a solid case by doing so, but perhaps a better answer to your question lies in the dismissive treatment he receives from all the mainstream organizations, including yours, where his introduction to viewers is regularly prefaced with a remark meant to belittle, such as "fringe" or "longshot", and his interviews are regularly concluded with the equally dismissive "Will you support the eventual nominee of your party?"

Considering Ron Paul's passionate support, the appalling lack thereof from any other Republican candidate, and the expected low turnout at the primaries, perhaps the better question is "Will the other candidates support Ron Paul as the eventual nominee?"

I take my marching orders from the Constitution!

No offense Mr. Cafferty as you have been quite fair, but what the Ron Paul supporters are demonstrating more and more each week is the insignificance and journalistic retardation of the big coorporate media machines. While CNN has been more hospitable than the other networks, all we hear from your anchors are terms such as: "longshot" and "darkhorse" and "fringe". The Ron Paul Revolution has learned quickly what the news media has become, shills and paid campaigners for the prechosen frontrunners of a year ago, and more people are waking up by the day. I think that is what the false and corrupted polls show us.

The MSM no longer reports the news.They report propaganda.

In a time of deceit ,telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

Ron Paul in CNN they are passeing the news every 30 minutes i guess

I will be at work but really want to see this segment. Mr. Cafferty has been one of the few media that has understood and helped promote Dr. Paul. He is fair minded, honest and has a great respect for America. Let's be sure to thank him for asking these questions.

He's giving us awesome coverage

There is a disconnect between these polls and the people, and there needs to be an investigation into how polls are taken and how results are manipulated. Ron Paul is the only candidate with impassioned support from real people in the real world as far as I can tell, so that makes me wonder about the veracity of these polls.

I fibbed a little - I KNOW THE POLLS ARE BOGUS, and I know what's really happening!
It's great to see Cafferty asking the question!

Here's my response to Jack,

Jack,

This is an easy question to answer, and I actually have three reasons why Ron Paul isn't higher in the polls but is making so much money..
1) A lot of these polling companies are calling Republican over 35 who voted for Bush the last 2 elections. These are usually pro Iraq pro-nation building people who are looking for a Bush 2.0 which Dr. Paul isn't
2) His names not even listed on the polls, I can't tell you how many times I see option for for "other" or he's omitted all together
3) There are still many people who do not actually know who Ron Paul is, or his actual stance on issues and many who have heard of him only know him as "that guy who doesn't stand a chance" and this is without even listening to or hearing the man speak...

It is funny that you ask?

Every poll I take amongst my constituents has Ron Paul winning by a landslide.

Maybe we should take a closer look at who is taking or should I say creating these polls.

We are counting on you to get to the bottom of this...

This is what I wrote (it's a bit generic, but still, one more drop to the wave):

"Jack, those polls do not reflect the reality of the campaign. By being solely on those Republicans who voted in the last primary (which was a relatively small group of people), the polls do not account the huge amount of people signing up as Republicans to vote for Ron, nor the independents that will undoubtedly make a difference in the results. Ron has won the most straw polls, plus well over 200,000 people have donated to the campaign in this quarter. Those are the true indicators of his support, not the landline polls."

BTW, guys, please have the TiVO's ready!

That's a very good question, Jack. Why indeed? We have a paradox. I choose to believe what I can see with my own eyes rather than polling methods financed by special interests. Ron Paul has broken fundraising records, wins countless straw & online polls, has the most creative and active supporters, and even has his own blimp! With broad support of "unlikely" Republican voters his impact on this race will not be measured until the elections.

This should be a good discussion by Jack, and I will be at work when it is on. Can someone post on YouTube afterwards?

Thanks for the heads up! I sent my comment in and can't wait to watch Jack. I can't stand Wolf Blitzer and have to watch the Situation Room (I'd rather chew on broken glass) just to watch Jack. Talk about fair and balanced, Jack Cafferty should have his own show.

Bump bump bump!

Jack, the key phrase in all of these polls is "likely Republican voters." If you sat out, as I did, the last several elections then your voice is not heard. Also, if you come from any other party or non-party affiliation, your voice is not heard. Point being, unless you are part of the "polling elite," then I guess your voice means nothing--that is, until the upcoming primary election days. Don't worry, we'll be heard then!

It is hard to place high in polls where your name isn't even mentioned in. Or if it is and you choose Ron Paul you are asked embarrassing questions about what sexual position you prefer. And should you hang up without answering, your vote doesn't get counted. Frank Luntz and his ilk are having a field day keeping the Paul movement down in the polls, but we are cleaning up in online polls, after debate polls, and more official GOP straw polls than all the other GOP candidates combined. Don't worry, when we clean up in the primaries, the pollsters are going to be shocked and Frank will be looking for a new job.

Hello Mr. Cafferty,

being a German citizen, I have the strong impression that
the Media pretty much ignores Ron Paul and the successes
he and the Grassroots achieve. His name is not out there on
a level that other candidates WITHOUT any significant Grass-
roots have.

So let me thank you for your fair coverage about Ron Paul, it’s
a very delighting experience to see that some parts of the US-
Media care about the People rather than the editing room Memos,
thank you very much for that.

Sincerely,
Oliver Reis, Germany

Ask Cafferty, why does the media only poll "likely Republican voters" which really means those Republicans who voted for Busy twice. What about polling all of us who never voted for Bush? We are in Ron Paul's camp...and there are more Republicans who did not vote for Bush, than voted for him.

So far, there are 121 comments regarding the Ron Paul question, 7 comments on the McCain endorsements and 11 on the CIA tapes.

The Old Media had better start paying attention.

Ask Ron Paul....... "As President, the one thing you could do is bring the troops home, return our military to defend this country, and push congress to accept the rest of your vision. My question goes to oil. Would the price of oil go down? What would the economy look like?"

This is a "soft ball" and it gets the public to thinking...

Thanks, Treg
