Ron Paul Gets Respect, is Third in Iowa

A tortoise on ice? Slow and steady wins the race!
People are waking up. CBS reports that people in the shops most definitely know who Ron Paul is, and I have to say it's thanks to the work of you, the revolutionaries who wouldn't take no for answer. Plymouth is getting up there in the north country of our little state. And Rudy and Mitt have peaked too soon...and are starting to fail in the polls. But Ron Paul is gaining ground as people start to sort out who is the real man of substance.
We love you Dr. Paul...
The lady at :54 that says he
The lady at :54 that says he will absolutely be our next president is our meetup organizer here in New Mexico. She is visiting her kids in NH. That's how she always talks to everybody, not a doubt in her mind!
Go Sally!
5% of people make things happen
10% of people watch things happen
85% say "What happened?"
I never thought I would see it.
What a great piece. Not one negative comment. What goes here? We should thank them for breaking the ice.
Wow!
Great video. That is the first mainstream news piece I've seen that was fair and honest. They can't ignore us forever!
Tortise With...
The tortise on ice has finally made it over to his Ferrari, the motor is revved and the clutch is being popped.
that made my weekend :)
if the polls have him at 3rd, then i wager a bet he is much higher.
so exciting!
My thoughts exactly
Either these guys have woken up and updated their polling methods, or they are in for the shock of their life.

Awsome!
Thanks for that post!
Ron Paul is really #1, Establishment Media in Shock
The Little Presidential Candidate That Could....
Unstoppable freighttrain going down hill
First is moves slowly hardly gathering speed, but little by little, RP becomes the unstoppable RE3VOLUTION.
Internet is going to have the same impact on politics like the printing press
Freedom in our lifetime! The thing is no-one has an antidote to RP message of freedom!! He cant loose any debate!!
"No visas for people from terrorist nations"
-- Ron Paul, presidential TV add on immigration.
It's because we kept saying...
I think I can, I think I can - all the way up this seemingly insurmountable hill. Jump on board this freight train, or get left behind or ran over!
Ain't no stopping us now.
Nowhere But Up
I'm not convinced its just third. Got to be number one, I'd say..
"He who exercises government by means of his virtue may be compared to the north polar star, which keeps its place and all the stars turn towards it." Confucius
Stepping ston
Offcourse he is third, but thats because MSM has't given him 1/100th of the exposure they give to say Hillary. Exposure is getting better though, but thats not because the 4th estate is liking him. MSM wants a bigger, more "engaged" state. Not minimal state.
Cheers from Europe!

once again
is the poll sandbagging the true poll numbers? i wish i knew more about the on the ground numbers.
Pirates Arrrgh!
We're privateers against king George's forces in the information war.
The old media coverage is improving and people are noticing. Dr. Paul should be peaking at just the right time super Tuesday.
FYI, NGOs are Non Governmental Organizations that are often given great power to do (good or damage) by government leaders and international treaties. Legislators can then deny association with these color of law regulations.
I'm so glad they got Dr. Paul out of that little white car and into something more substantial for the winter.
Washington doesn't need more lawyers.
It needs a doctor!
Dr. Ron Paul *** RX for Freedom
Absolutely
Even after he takes 2-3 in Iowa & 1-2 in New Hampshire and wallops 3 of the "top-tier" candidates, he will not be labeled as such. This has nothing to with the candidate, its got everything to do with the credibility of the media at large. This CBS piece is one of the best I've seen (probably the best). No snarkiness, backhands, or pot-shots, what a concept!
I agree with you on all that
I agree with you on all that except......
Ron Paul is going to WIN those elections. 2nd or 3rd aint bad but we are way bigger than even the avg joe knows. Just go to a mall or anywhere people are numerous hand out slims and ask around, hes getting bigger by the day, you can detect it growing just by responses you get.
Ron Paul 2012
Catchin on!
I was in a little pub in Northfield, NH about 2 weeks ago. My wife interrupted me as I was babbling on about Ron Paul this and Ron Paul that. "Listen" she said and so I did. Every table in the place (only 6) was talking about RP. I kid you not! Catchin on I'm telling you!
Love the video!

Where's the poll?
Anybody know where we can see that poll data showing him tied for third? I've noticed him being in a "statistical tie" for third for a couple of weeks now... Where's this CBS data?
I'll Say it again
if the votes are counted correctly, Ron Paul will win big.
"Freedom is a right that can never be won in war,only by each individual "
Be There
We need people like you there to make sure they are counted. I'll be running for precinct chair, delegate, and I'm going to try and be there to check the ballots too. We can do it!
JOhn
If the votes are counted
If the votes are counted fairly RP will win handily IMO. Havent you noticed how the other repubs are acting like they KNOW what the deal is lately.

Was this on the news today?
Was this on the news today? Wow. Even reality is starting to sink in at CBS. Sometimes I too can be shocked at what is going on, and the depth of support for Ron.

Apparently
I just saw H and C on Fox and the two on the right were dissing him...including Reagan's son, Michael, the talk show host and Tony Blankley, who works for the globalist PR firm Edelman, responsible for working with UN NGOs to make them look like they are the good guys! Blech!
However, Stephanie Miller said Paul was the only one making sense. Reagan and Blankley dredged up that awful NY Sun article where they said Paul can't buy respect. Blankley mentioned that Paul's followers have no credibility because they show up in 'pirate' hats. This crazy global socialist Brit doesn't even know that those are Revolutionary era American hats NOT 'pirate' hats.
Talk about an ill-informed wacko.

What is a UN NGO?
united nations
united nations non-governmental organization
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-governmental_organization
Thanks for the explanation
All too often the UN *acts* like it is the government so people assume it has power over us when it should not. NGO = NON governmental organization, which if it kept to the business of just being a place for countries to meet and talk together about cooperation, as Dr. Paul says, then we would not have to worry.. But since the UN is hell bent on global domination, the foundations and shadow elitists use it for their tool.
They Don't get it
We show up in pirate hats, and blue jeans, and business suits, and baseball caps. We are America and we want our freedoms back!

Somebody Should Grab the Video
....I started a blog on this...Amazed On The West Coast after watching the CBS Evening News (Katie & Company) and somebody put the video clip on it. It is just fantastic.
Somebody grab the video from there and put it over here as an article stays up longer and with Jane starting it the way she did, it will get read and it should as it is a great lead-in to the weekend.
fonta
It already is on the front page..
:-)
Jane, duh <g>
......the picture your video is stuck on looked like a different video to me. Duh...my mistake!
Thanks for all you do and hope people watch the video and read your lead-in to this thread. We have some critical things coming up so soon.....real spots on the map to send our energy and money to.
fonta
Thanks fonta
A blog like this must be used judiciously for promoting Ron Paul... this means selecting titles carefully as they will be picked up in Google...and keeping positive as much as others may go negative. Just a little journalistic junk.
Finally they get it!
They kept saying sure, he's got fervent supporters on the web, but how do we know how many? The fact this was way up in NH on a snowy day and people knew him, well they are finally seeing that these are all real people on the ground. And of course, the money talks, mostly because they know it's from small donors, a LOT of them! They are not stupid, but perhaps up to now have been unwilling to report the truth.
Whether They Get It Or Not
......we are definitely seeing a different kind of Old Media reporting on Ron Paul , here and there. This piece on CBS struck me in another way as well. It was like they sent the A production team out to film instead of the C team. The shots were more professional, many looked like postcards. The volume on Dr. Paul's voice was at a strong volume... It was like new direction in coverage of Ron Paul.
