Michigan Vote Totals... Fail!!! to Represent Convictions of Voters!!! DIGG THIS STORY!!!!

People are stupid.

Yeah, I could see thinking Romney would end the war from simple lack of experience, but McCain? He said he would have gone to war for no reason.

The battlefield is like a playground to McCain.

I may be a vegetarian, but I'll defend to the death my right to eat pork!

and I have complete faith in him...

The schizo roulette wheel of Romney, McCain and Huckabee with Ron patiently circling on thier flank is going to come to an end real quick folks. Dr. Paul is the only candidate who has been running tv and radio ads in Nevada not to mention the boots on the pavement as apparently the other candidates didn't consider the state to be important. This strategy by the Paul campaign could turn out to be monster brilliant as the talk is starting to go around the internet that Ron could win this thing and blow this race wide open. The timing of a win would be perfect as we are less than 3 weeks from Super Tuesday and voters would really start paying attention to a shakeup like this, it would be great timing with the money bomb coming up soon as well. Dr. Paul is going to turn this thing rightside up I luv it!!!

First, the media really does skip over RP's name quite a bit. They go from the top three candidates to the bottom two and ignore Ron.

Second, when they do report on RP, the caveat is always: he's not going to win.

Third, in any MSM report on Paul, his message is always skewed by the reporter. Example: "Ron Paul wants to abolish all public schools" or "Ron Paul is against state-funding of education." WE know Ron Paul doesn't want to end public education...and WE know Ron Paul's message is that schools should only be funded at the state level, as opposed to the federal level. The media has been lying consistently. And don't forget the media keeps saying that parents aren't responsible enough to make decisions for their children's education.

Fourth, the media continuously throws in negative words like "rabid supporters," "insurgents" (like we're terrorists), "following" like we belong to a cult.

Lastly, they stereotype his grassroots as being anarchists and troublemakers or anti-government protesters. WE know that the majority of his grassroots are (just for the sake of contrast) "normal." Remember, NPR had that report on who RP supporters are, and that fraud Roth Bennet from the Houston Chronicle said something like: they are mostly young, disenfranchised males and not from Texas.

Well, WE know we're of all ages, just like everyone else's support-base. And yes, with Ron's message we're going to get some of those anarchists and anti-war supporters, even though Lou Dobbs says there's no anti-war candidate running. I think we all embrace them. But you know what, we also have a huge chunk of those All-American, "normal" people, too.

We've also got 75% of the military, if donations are an indicator.

BUMP

So people angry with Bush and opposed to the war are not voting for Paul in large numbers? Why should this be any more of a surprise than the fact that Paul draws more support from pro-choice than pro-life voters? Or from those preferring path to citizenship to deportation?

Simple explanation: the message is not getting through. Either people don't hear it, or the message is not clear (ie, rambling debate answers), or people are tuning Dr. Paul out. I think the latter is probably the biggest factor. So you get people who don't agree with him on major issues supporting him as a protest vote (18-24 year-olds especially) and people who do agree with him on major issues (Iraq, economy) not supporting him because they're not listening to him.

and bumped

MSM has been pumping out politics all year. Has the public just tuned out of it?
