MSNBC: What Ever Happened to Ron Paul?

WASHINGTON - The excitement of Rep. Ron Paul’s unorthodox presidential campaign has faded since last fall. The chances were always slim that Paul would get to go to the White House to collect President Bush’s endorsement, as Sen. John McCain did Wednesday.
But Paul scored a victory Tuesday night, crushing challenger Chris Peden in the Republican primary in his Texas congressional district.
Paul’s victory in his heavily Republican district means the 33-year House veteran will be around for at least another two years to voice his dismay both at America’s overseas entanglements and at Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke’s policies.

Bush Endorsement
Why would Ron Paul want an endorsement from bloody George? That's like getting the thumbs up from the devil himself!
When this is all over, Ron Paul will be President of these United States and the blessing of the Lord upon him.
You'll see!

He is not a conservitive and does not deserve to be endorsed by the RNC. Also he is completly unfit to be president of the united states.

They Took an Interesting Tack
First of all, anyone not familiar with the candidates already (which is probably the majority since the election is still 9 months away), would find what they said about Ron Paul, interesting. They might look into him further. So, that's good.
The "marginalization" is not fair from our point of view, but as so often happens, they are reporting the public perception. Self-perpetuating, I know.
However, given our strategy, it helps more than hurts. He has to be someone people have heard of, and seen pictures of, preferably spoken of respectfully, before he bursts into prominence as a potential convention nominee. It isn't necessary that they put him out there as a real challenger, yet. Too soon.
Ron Paul is becoming much more interesting to the public and press now that we are starting to flex our muscles. Too soon for all Ron Paul, all the time, coverage; it's the others we want to be overexposed. This was a step in the right direction.

What makes anyone think
that Dr. Ron Paul would desire an endorsement from the Bushes?
IT'S CRAP
They make it sound like Dr. Paul has quit, and they say McCain has 'clinched'. The rest of it doesn't even matter. IT'S CRAP.

I thought this article was
I thought this article was weak. Why do people suddenly applaude when Ron Paul gets mainstream coverage? It wasn't exactly positive...
We Need to Make a List
Of all the liars in the media and check it twice. The people who care more about their job than our lives and the people who are in the "know" of what President David Rockefeller and his Zionist Party is doing.
And when the depression hits, we help everyone but them. We boycott everything that caused it. When they beg for mercy and promise merit to the US Constitution, I may give them bread and water. It depends if they are sincere or still moochers as Ayn Rand so graciously described those who are in power now - soon to fall.

Whatever happened to Ron Paul?!?!
WTF! These are the same ass-clowns that IGNORED that he existed, people. Go ahead and reward them with accolades if you want to, but I'll stick to calling it the way it is.
MSNBC blows.
Overall the article is OK, BUT
MSNBC gave Dr. Paul absolutely nothing during the campaign. JeffH, you have this right. MSNBC, and the rest, make me sick.
h-daddy
