Where is Ron Paul?

I am sorry but you people need to flag the hell out of this thread. This is ATS, the only one with this particular story, on this particular paper, CATCHING THEM RED HANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ACT OF TRYING TO COVER THEIR TRACKS, AND GETTING GOOGLE AND YAHOO TO WIPE THEIR CACHES ON IT. (If someone can find the original, please provide link. Of course, hehe, I don't really need you to.

HELLO? Must I become Alex Jones and scream this? This is ats exclusive. (I'm pretty sure, not 100%. But won't 99.9 do?)

i had allready flagged this thread quite a while ago true. but i see what your getting at here. flag this sucka. lol

Ron Paul is there on the NYTimes election guide page.
Yes of course he's being ignored in general but he's hard to ignore when you give him a fair footing alongside the other candidates.

They just added him today because of so many complaints.

Although I really hope RP wins, I find him to be very admirable and respectable. I could only imagine meeting him and having lively and friendly debates with him over tea...wow!

But sometimes I wish the world elites win just so people can wake the heck up and realize that their country has been hijacked.

That's why they say u get the president that you deserve.
Sorry, but America doesn't deserve Ron Paul... he's too good for you America!

You let whatever is happening and going to happen happen.

It still surprises me everyday that there aren't millions protesting outside RIGHT NOW regarding Blackwater, regarding wars, regarding everyday Bush complaining about Iran.

It just seems so surreal

Yeah, but let's be clear: this happened 5 days ago, not yesterday. Look at the date of my OP: 1/16 You might want to correct that at RPforums. The date 1/16 also shows on my screencap, 2nd post, 1rst page.

That's one less work week of people seeing Ron Paul's face. Way to go, NYT. :shk: Yeah people are complaining now about what should have been the NYT's responsibility as an impartial news organization in the first place.

Okay so did anyone watch The Daily Show tonight?
Stewart has this guy from Newsweek (cant remember his name but pompous as hell) Anyway, Stewart is asking about Hillary blah blah blah and then to my surprise he starts to ask about Ron Paul. At first the line of questioning sounds promising, along the lines of "Ron Paul has beaten Ghouliani (okay uh, Stewart didnt actually say ghoul that is my add in) in all the primaries puts Ghouls in 6th and Paul in 4th but media never mentions Paul and keeps boosting Ghouls..." So great line of questioning, I am shocked and listening intently and then guess what? The guy who he is interviewing literally says "Paul aside lets look at Huckabee..." and Stewart DROPS IT.
Stewart started the ball rolling and then just dropped it, almost like OK I will throw my viewers a bone but thats it.
It was really quite amazing and once again I am disgusted.

Edit to add it will be replayed at 1am EST, anyone who missed it is a must see.

NOOOO! i missed the replay!

It's not just American politics that's in a state of disarray. British politics isn't any better. All the front runners and those in power are all bought and paid for stooges.

Yesterday we had the first vote on ratifying the controversial EU reform treaty in the house of parliament and lost by 362 votes to 224, a comfortable majority of 138. Looks like we can kiss goodbye to our sovereignty. Does anyone have a link on who voted for or against. Being a Liberal Democrat I won't be voting for those wankers anytime soon, considering they refuse to give us a referendum. Nick Clegg you ain't fit to govern a cockroach.

The EU Constitution isn't a Democracy. Didn't vote for it, don't recognise it. You can take your EU Directives and shove them where the sun don't shine.

Dont worry, it is replayed today as well, I think at least 2 times.

Not to pat MSM on the back or anything, but I found these on youtube from today:





So at least they are giving him some attention, if it's only a little.

I think Cavuto was fair to him, as was the first woman... however there were a couple of thinly veiled jabs about his supporters clashing with Giuliani, but I think RP handled them magnificently.

Well Axeman, I'd like to believe that all this clamor over the media suppression had subsided, but unfortunately:

Corporate Media Ignores Ron Paul's Second Place In Louisiana- Congressman's silver in another state goes unreported

Presidential candidate Ron Paul has finished second in yet another state caucus this week yet there has barely been a murmur from the mainstream media once again.

The Louisiana Republican Party announced the preliminary results yesterday in a press release that was roundly ignored by the corporate media:

Delegate candidates endorsed by US Senator John McCain (R-AZ) appear to have won more state convention delegate positions than any other presidential slate at the Louisiana Caucuses.

Supporters of Congressman Ron Paul (R-TX) appear to have captured the next highest number of delegate positions.

Edit to add:
Also, hope you guys didn't miss this:
LA State GOP Conspiracy Against Ron Paul?

[edit on 26-1-2008 by TrueAmerican]

hello there,
i am from germany and i do not understand why they didn't even told us yesterday that giuliani lost because of ron paul.
if they talk about some winners, or show us all the candidates, they always forget ron paul.
how comes?
i really don't get it! we cant vote for him, although i see germany as another state of the usa cause our cancellor and many before, just do what the president of the usa tell them to do.
but anyway.. who would care if our "owned" media would just talk a bit about ron paul??
not in the tagesschau, not in the netzeitung, not in spiegel. they show all candidates, but miss him.
shame on them. but again: WHY??

Hi back rxn,

Just in my opinion, because Ron Paul is very different from the rest. He represents the undoing of decades of government seizure of power, wealth, and control over the people. The elite who are in this conspiracy stretch as far as your country too. They really don't like the idea of someone coming along to challenge that, creating discontent in the people through factual information, and causing unrest.

But thank you for that input, because it truly goes to show just how far and wide this conspiracy against him and what he stands for reaches.

reply to post by TrueAmerican


Where's the conspiracy? He only got 3% of the Florida vote. Others who have been getting far more votes than Ron Paul have dropped out. When will he end this charade?
I want to know who he will endorse when he finally does give up. Julliani gratiously endorsed McCain will Paul? And if he does will his supporters really support him by doing the same?

reply to post by SectionEight


There's 7 pages of it in the posts above yours. And he has vowed that he will not withdraw, all the way through the general election. He also says that there is no candidate he could currently endorse, and knowing his platform quite well, I can see why. You will have to face the constitution one day too, S8. But don't worry, it won't be so bad.

Why are people afraid of Ron Paul, seriously?

Isn't it obvious, because he tells it exactly how it is and how it should be. He speaks the truth and some people are too uncomfortable when hearing the truth. The elitists above all else fear the truth, because it will destroy them. Just listen to the bull**** that comes out of Mike Huckabee near the end of the clip below and the applause he gets in return from the audience. I guess some American's are so dumbed down and blinded by their patriotism that they honestly enjoy being sheep and if they don't wake up soon, they will go the way of the sheep. Lambs to the slaughter.

Thought i'd add a couple more non-mentions for Ron Paul from this side of the pond:

Who's missing?

And another

I didn't give much credence to the anti-Paul conspiracy theory at first but as time goes on it is becoming painfully obvious that someone has ordered a blackout on this guy and that tells me that someone is scared of him.

Wow, MSNBC reports about Ron Paul.
Ron Paul has a shot at winning Maine caucuses
State's nonbinding GOP caucuses first step toward electing 18 delegates
www.msnbc.msn.com...

AUGUSTA, Maine - Republican presidential hopeful Ron Paul has a couple of things going for him at this weekend's Republican caucuses: a band of highly motivated supporters and a natural appeal to Maine's like-minded independents.

His stop in the state earlier this week also made him the only presidential contender from either party to visit before the caucuses.

"I think that (because) he's paid attention to Maine, he'll be rewarded," R. Kenneth Lindell, Paul's campaign coordinator in Maine, said Thursday.
...

And here media doesn't report about Paul, too. Most reports are about Obama and Hillary.
