Local News cites Mitt, John, Mike, and RUDY; *NOT* RP!!!

Many people on here actually thought OM would mention that RP beat out Rudy. Wrong.
My local news mentioned Romney, McCain, Huckliebee, and GHOULIANI. Not ONE WORD about Dr Paul.

Please tell me again how this was "good" for RP?
I don't see much realistic hope for the future of the campaign, if RP doesn't pull AT LEAST 2nd in one of the states before Super Tuesday.

Okay bring on the rebuttals if you want. But I fail to see how any headway is being gained - it just is not materializing. And it's needed NOW - not later - if there is any chance at the nomination.

People will not commit to vote for someone who is not gaining ground. It just is not logical to expect them to do so.
That's my HO anyway. It's a travesty, but that's how I see it.

Have i missed something?

Have i missed something? Hasn't the MSM ignored Dr. Paul since the start? Didn't we have to fight for every second of airtime? So since they are continuing to do exactly what they have been doing your upset?

Forget MSM this battle will be won by the people nothing less nothing more.

I predicted 3 weeks ago Dr. Paul would win or place second in NV then we will see action trust me.

BTW this is still up for grabs for Dr. Paul and all the rest however keep this in mind

MCCAIN IS BROKE
HUCK IS BROKE
RUDY IS ALMOST BROKE
THOMPSON IS ALMOST BROKE

Money will keep us in this believe that and we will prevail.

1 BRAVE MAN MAKES A MAJORITY
Thomas Jefferson

That man is Dr. Ron Paul

Tactics will likely change anyway

It is true there is no real leader in the Republican race. And certain candidates will drop out. And also true that this is about delegates, because our system is about delegates. I am willing to accept that with continued hard work, we Could win by being the last one standing around. That is in fact a valid tactic for winning. I also am aware that certain people May stop at nothing to stop us.

In my fantasy, we are fully prepared for the next bloody tactics; whatever sophisticated game theory they have planned.

I have a couple suggestions and then i will greatly limit my exposure here for a couple weeks. Too much work.
1. Redirect discussion to a much better understanding of how we actually get delegates / votes that count. IMO, maybe that is a weak spot of understanding.
2. For now, you COULD tweak the rules more strongly against any doubting comments. Just delete them to some dump somewhere. He who owns can change the rules.
3. Take one day and disable comments altogether - invite the top three - five veterans of campaigns to submit their observations on how we can do better. Force us to READ and not write for 24 hours. It would be like an Information Bomb.

I also have enjoyed the positive reports from the most active people. I could never be one of those cuz i am disabled, but i would still appreciate the positive progress reports.

Thank you. I am off.

Stop Being So Negative!

You're stupid if you still listen to the MSM..... Why don't you go out like the rest of us and DO SOME WORK for RP instead of bringing everybody down with your depressing posts! Keep your depressing thoughts to yourself or I WILL believe you are a troll and WILL flag your posts!

It's not about me listening to OM, it's about potential voters

It's not about me listening to OM, it's about potential voters who do not get to hear his message because TV is their only source of information.

LIBERTY FINDS LIGHT! Giving in to the opposition is not an option. Stay the course and bring your friends and family with you!

Poor Guy

Just concentrate on supporting Dr. Paul by talking to people in person, not about what the stupid news channels say. They never mentioned he won most of the straw polls in the nation.
Ron Paul shattered fundraising records, yet no one heard about it.
Ron Paul could come in first second or 3rd and you will probably not hear much about it either. We need to do the work, the media won't.

These folks aint gonna go without a fight - We must never quit.

Hey Miss!!

Cheer up... what DO YOU EXPECT FROM MSM???

This is a DELEGATE RACE now.... and Ron Paul delegates ARE THE MOST COMMITTED!!!

Neveda is Ron Paul territory... Sound money... gov off your back...

Heck in Neveda they have LEGAL prostitution... WITHOUT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT CONDUCTING RAIDS!!!

I'm pretty sure ole boy Muck Huck would change that QUICK!!

Dr. Ron Paul is doing VERY VERY WELL... CONSIDERING........ WHO/WHAT we are up against!!

ALL THESE QUESTIONS HAVE BEEN answered - I am rejouvenating..

a post from last night about WHY this was good.... read all the comments - they are very valid and answer your question here about why last nights performance was VERY GOOD...

Positve from local news

politepaulite

Our newspaper in Lake Charles, La. also ran standard AP press coverage without Paul. However we contacted the editor and said we were aware that Murdock and Fox did not discuss Ron Paul. But since our newspaper was locally owned, we held them to a higher standard. He said he assumed that AP was not biased.. So they are running their own piece about ALL running for president on Sunday. He thanked me for bringing it to their attention. PLEASE POLITELY contact your local news and explain that you hold them to a higher standard

Thanks for the advice - I tried once, but will do so again. =)

Get over media will ya....get busy RP SOLID 4TH

Total Vote Count -- Combined IA, NH, and MI Results
Posted by Nick Bradley at January 16, 2008 08:08 AM

Here are the combined vote totals for IA, NH, and MI:

Romney - 443,139 Total Votes – 36.89%
McCain - 361,546 Total Votes – 30.10%
Huckabee - 207,308 Total Votes – 17.26%
Paul - 84,554 Total Votes – 7.04%
Giuliani - 50,925 Total Votes – 4.24%
Thompson - 49,198 Total Votes - 4.10%
Hunter - 4,567 Total Votes - 0.38%

Paul is in a solid fourth, increased his percentage lead over Giuliani by 300% in Michigan, and should stay in fourth through SC and NV, where Thompson and Giuliani will close the gap in each state. In other news, the latest CNN/Politico/LA Times California poll has Paul at 8%, with no candidate garnering more than 20% in the poll. The poll had a huge margin of error (6%), which makes Paul and four other candidates technically tied in the Golden State.

Romney - 443,139; Paul - 84,554 (gulp) Like David when he

Romney - 443,139; Paul - 84,554 (gulp) Like David when he went against Goliath, we need a miracle from God Almighty.

I certainly am dreaming of and praying and hoping for one such miracle...

Again, the media...

isn't going to help Paul or be repsonsible for him winning. It will be responsible for Mitt or McCain winning. Only you can help Paul, the media clearly will not and that should be abundandtly obvious by now. This morning Tim Russert said there are "five viable candidates" in the gop. Do you think he meant Paul at the exclusion of Guiliani? Hell no, even though Paul has beaten him 2 out of 3 AND came very close the third time. The more you focus on the media the more upset you will get. This is a cause, liberty, not a person like Paul. Im almost maxed out on contributions and will donate my last thousand on MLK even though Paul probably wont win. I'm not at all discouraged. If we don't win this election we need to make such an impact that we can run someone else just as good with the same message and commitment to the Constitution. Remember, the world doesn't end on Feb. 5th or next November but what we do TODAY will go a long way towards restoring the Republic.

shut up

Hey Look!...

Billy O'Reilly's with us!...Oops..guess not -- Sure sounded like him, tho!

Obviously you did not read other comments I've made about my sincerity.
I "trusted" the DP community to know what I'm about. Maybe I was wrong.
I do in fact trust that Michael knows my sincere desire to see only good happen to Ron Paul.

Vote RON PAUL 2008

Where's your manners?

Don't be discouraged! We have to change our approach!

Just expecting the news to mention Ron Paul when you know the man is blackballed by the executives is just naive. We need to contact local reporters with news...feed them info. It will get in.

We got the front page in Pensacola!
http://www.pensacolanewsj...

Realize even in the stage we're in, 6-7% represents a large block of voters and that means Ron Paul commands respect. We will continue to grow...with the message...the economy...the Bush doctrine....we will grow!

Even as we are, we have the power to swing an election! That's power... and they know it!

So don't worry, there's more than one way to skin a cat...

Who is Ron Paul? I am Ron Paul! We are Ron Paul!

Don't forget, this is not a game.

We are here to make our voices heard, and we are running for the presidency.

The word is getting out, but the corruption in our government is bigger than all but the "greatest conspiracy theorists" have thought.

What can we do? How do slaves fight against their masters?
Rise up, refuse to play the game their way, sit on the wrong seat in the bus.

Civil disobedience.

and go the wrong way,

Billy Ray...go against the establishment!

in case nobody remembers...that was from the movie Midnight Express...you are going the wrong way, Billy Ray!

Logic Should Tell us that

their is only one course of action!

http://www.dailypaul.com/...

6% = 55,000 votes!

that is significant...RP has a plan. Do some research on how he beat the GOP before in Texas. You will be pleasantly surprised. He is shrewd, smart, and calculating. Don't mistake his kindness for weakness. You don't spend 18 years in Washington without learning a few things. Again, 6% in Michigan meant what, 55,000 votes. He did what julieannie and tomason did COMBINED. Have heart. Stay with us. We need you!

Screw the media! Remember Ghandi! (How's that for passiveness?)

Well, my vote isn't "going" anywhere...but can I bring you along

Well, my vote isn't "going" anywhere...but can I bring you along when I talk to all the new people I meet and they have ...doubts about the race so far? Thanks for the comment...my heart bleeds for what the OM does to him and his family...I hate it so much.

just ask them...

ok then, which of the lesser of two evils will you be voting for this year? tell them you are not wasting your vote...you are fighting for your country the way the framers of the Constitution would fight for it...tell them that! i think that should be enough to get them asking more questions and to be impressed with your conviction.

The Old Media is choosing our next President.

'nuff said.

Maybe it's time for a Freedom tv or radio station

I've noticed over the years when a supressed country, communist, socialist, dictatorship etc was only receiving propaganda from their government, low and behold a freedom radio station appeared. Probably most of you don't recall this but many my age do. Our media has now become government propaganda and lies and most probably because they are run by corporate America.

If Ron Paul's strong support is possible, then is a true unbiased news radio or television station possible to get the truth out to Americans? Something to ponder over because if a communist country has patriots that can get the truth out to their people, why not America?

Freedom Radio?

Try This On... Worldwide...

http://www.ronpaulroadsho...

Yes, please start such an outlet - desperately needed!

Well we do have Alex Jones etc however...

Good cartoon. Thanks for posting.

Our message goes against the most powerful people in the world

The ideas of abolishing the Fed, IRS and bringing the troops home go directly against the interests of the most powerful people in the US, and by extension, the world.

Don't ever be discouraged that the media isn't reporting on Ron Paul. You shouldn't expect anything else. These guys won't let go of their power easily.

Our biggest challenge is educating people. That takes time and effort, but it's the only way to really change things, and that's what Dr. Paul has been doing during the last 30 years.

We have do well in Nevada,

We have do well in Nevada, that's our state. Huckabee won Iowa, McCain took NH, and Romney won Michigan. Fred Thompson is focused on South Carolina and Giuliani is focused on Florida. If Paul wins Nevada, then we have a wide open race heading into super tuesday.

Yes I agree that is a valid assessment. Hope it happens.

Leftists at KOS are crowing about how they helped Romney

Much of Romney's vote count came from left wingers who know the Dems would have him for breakfast if he was the Rep nominee.

He was the "beneficiary" of strategic voting. The left is afraid of McCain because they think he would win against Hillary or Obama. So they voted against McCain even while some independents voted for him.

The left will alo NOT help Ron Paul because they really fear his message and want it squelched.

If Ron Paul rises to #2 as the next month progresses, expect to see tons of Democrats voting for Romney to beat Ron Paul.

Maybe but I think people are too stupid to vote "strategically"

...don't you?

If they had that much logic they would vote for RP.

It's really unAmerican, how

the press gets away with slighting the Good Doctor so bad..........his campaign staff needs some professional help to counter this travesty. We all know it's coming..........but they are determined to make this a 3 man race. They don't care who the 3 men are, as long as Ron Paul is not one of them. We've got to keep going. I'm hoping for a little improvment in Nevada. If his campaign staff would get the messege out to all the food service people about Ron's bill that would eliminate tax on tips, it would be huge, but I don't see the campaign doing much at all..........no spokepeople anywhere!

2nd Troll Attempt to Distract

This is another obvious attempt by a troll to distract us from the business at hand. Ignore it and move on to getting Ron Paul elected!

You're an idiot. I've shed

You're an idiot. I've shed more tears over this than you I wager.

Please Stop Saying This

I believe MOST of us can see a TROLL when one raises their ugly head.

Please don't feed the trolls // use them to our advantage. Post follow up comments like this:

-- Vote RON PAUL 2008 ;-)

So you're saying I'm Wrong?

Look how much time and energy has already been wasted on this useless thread. If you can't say something positive, go in the corner and pout, but don't bring down and waste the time and energy of everyone else who is still trying to make a difference.

Oh For Goodness Sake

Vote RON PAUL 2008

Yes, do look at how much energy has been expended here -- yours included. I don't know if the poster is a troll or not, I personally could care less one way or the other. If you don't like the program, turn the damn channel, that's my way of thinking.

Calling them a troll isn't going to fix the situation, it will only most likely anger the situation. Turn the channel and concentrate on more important matters. Hell there must be hundreds, thousands of active postings in this excellent RON PAUL forum, the majority of which are positive and supporting RP. Getting hung up on one or two or three seems a bit of an over-reaction.

Turn the channel.

OK. I reconsidered. You're

OK. I reconsidered. You're right. I apologize to MissDavenport. And I am going to change the channel. I suggest you do the same. Go Ron Paul!
