Cafferty Says, "Ron Paul is Annoying"

Jack Cafferty has long been a sole voice of reason in the media, and I love the way his segment allows every-day people to discuss the biggest issues of the times. It just hurt to see this last once-journalist fall to the bandwagon. I wish one, just ONE journalist in this country could have the BALLS to speak truth, just ONE. i thought we had olbermann, i wanted it from Jack, but they've all fallen and failed, bought by their corporate masters. I'll probly tear up a little later, wishing for what might have been, but tomorrow it'll be back to work. We are not sheep, we do not give up. Not ever. My email:

To Mr. Cafferty,

I can imagine that you have received a lot of mail recently about your referring to Ron Paul as "annoying." Many of my fellow Paul supporters were angry, even incensed that you would sound off such a betrayal. I'm not angry with you Mr. Cafferty, just truly dissapointed.

You've been, up until now, one of (if not the only) main stream reporter I could look to for an honest assessment of the going's on. Your segment allows every-day people to weigh in on the biggest subjects and you don't hold back your punches, that is to be admired, especially given that you are more than likely under heavy and direct pressure to be more friendly to the establishment.

However, you've done now what all the worst are guilty of doing, you've flip-flopped your own opinions to stay on the bandwagon. In a time of corruption and lies, the man who tells the truth is truly revolutionary. I'm sure Britain looked upon the founding fathers of this nation as "annoying" as well, but that could not stop their revolution for freedom.

But I digress, you already know your history and likely better than I, which is why it saddens me so to see someone who has, for a while now, supported the revolutionary ideas of Dr. Paul and the rest of us turn coat and brush him aside. I couldn't believe it honestly. The entire power of a revolution comes from citizens who don't give up, who don't pull back just because they're outnumbered, outgunned. Even though the tables have been heavily set against us, even though the body politic does all it can to turn us away and ignore what we're trying to achieve, you should have known that we would never stop trying. Even after November Ron is not going away, and neither are we Jack. We are going away from your program now though, and that saddens me.

The one thing we truly lack as a movement is a courageous journalist who would stand up against overwhelming opposition and speak the truth of the constitution and our movement, to tell the world and the others in the U.S. what we're doing on THIER behalf. We have all worked so hard to restore freedom and real values to this country, and I have all along been touting you as a solitary voice of reason among an otherwise bought-and-paid-for media. I don't think I can say that anymore Mr. Cafferty.

I'll leave you with one final thought to consider on your comments sir. Remember this, it is the DUTY of Ron Paul to represent the people who support him, just as it is of all politicians. He stays in this race only because we the people demand it of him and he, having more honor and dignity than the rest, stands by his word and duty against all opposition. To blame him for remaining in the race is to blame all those who support him, whether they democrat, republican or any other affiliation or lack thereof, for demanding their voices be heard as is their contsitutional right.

Lastly, in my humble opinion, I could never shut up and fall in line just because it would annoy the powers that be. I am not a sheep Mr. Cafferty, is that what you would have me be?

Sincerely,
James Ruggeri

HA! I heard what you said Jack about Ron Paul being "annoying" and how he should just go away. Well I got news for you buddy... you're a little annoying yourself. You talked about how great Ron Paul was early on, and now, his message hasn't changed, if anything it's even better, and you want him to go away? What, did the debt magically solve itself and not tell anyone? You didn't help or speak up at all when the media went on the Ron Paul blackout. Apparently you must not have understood Dr. Paul's message. When will people realize that it's the message and principle that matter, not big talk and smiling faces. On second thought, maybe it's better you and the rest of the media didn't talk about Dr. Paul, he's much too good for you and his ideas are obviously too intellectual for you to understand. The media talking heads don't deserve to report on Ron Paul. It's like when people go to Church, sure, they go, they hear how to be better people, but then the next day they're back to their same old habits. Well not this time Jack. This time the message is going to take hold and there's nothing you can do about it. So, if you don't like it, fine, but stay out of our way.

Yes, Dammit, can't we all see that "it's over" for Ron Paul?

Just like it was "over" for Washington in 1776 at Valley Forge.

Just like it was "over" at the Alamo.

Just like it was "over" for Britain over at Dunkirk.

Just like it was "over" for the US at Pearl Harbor.

Just like it was "over" for The Afghanis when the Soviets invaded in 1979.

Just like it was "over" for Kuwait in 1990.

Just like it was "over" for Obama before the primaries even started.

Yep, why can't we just bow to the obvious already?
Isn't the "mainstream" ALWAYS right?
