I began crying.

[Paulitical Correctness]

Thirty minutes in, I began to cry.

Hard to pinpoint the particular emotion that brought it on, mostly anger...but it was a feeling of sheer desperation and hopelessness. Like a newborn, I sat watching Ron up there and could do absolutely nothing about it.

How has he gone on this long without losing his cool?

Beyond me...

 

[Abyss]

I hear and feel you man.

 

[TER]

Stay strong, young friend. With patience shall we save our souls.

 

[idiom]

He is a class act. The fact that he doesn't whine about time like Huckabee does is really impressive.

 

[RPinUptownChi]

the squeaky wheel gets oiled, i wish ron would lose the kid gloves...

 

[racerzeke]

I'm not even old enough to vote and the unfairness of this debate will ruin my day tomorrow

 

[extrmmxer]

I feel for you..... Donate it makes you feel better.

 

[coffeewithchess]

I hear and feel you also...I'm so ticked at this whole process it is a shame. This was RP's chance to set himself really apart on issues other than the war...talking about the Federal Reserve doesn't do that...mentioning he never voted for a tax increase(something most people understand), but pointing out Mike Huckabee begged for new taxes, would have been 100% better. Mentioning that RP has never voted for an unbalanced budget, but pointing out that John McCain has, would have been great. Mentioning that RP would follow the Constitution when declaring war, but Romney would consult lawyers would have been great...

 

[Cinderella]

ok not to sound like a baby but i am crying as well....i feel like we are beaten.....im scared of the future and what these crazies are going to do to us and our children....i have a little brother in iraq....im crushed..........my heart sits very low and heavy in my chest.

i wish ron paul would have stood up for himself....this could have been his last debate and he didnt say much....

 

[Jon4Ron]

30 min in My blood pressure went up 50 points. SOS We know it and yet so many look for other reasons why Dr Paul is not doing better. HEAR THIS it is 1984 and we are up against a control machine beyond comprehension!!!!

 

[raystone]

write your thoughts out, what plan do you want to be part of ?

He picks his spots. He did call Fox war propagandists.

 

[BeallCanbe]

You are not the only one ... still think what he has to go through this media blackout day in and day out ... we need to be strong.

 

[Bold As Love]

No. I hear you. I absolutely felt the same way. To me, it was when he attempted to answer the earlier question and AC promised to give him the chance. When he was cut off by AC a little bit later....can't even believe it.

We invest a lot of ourselves into this campaign. It means a lot to us. We work all weekend, canvass, discus with our neighboors. We do this because it is important. This is not something silly thing like rooting for a favorite football team. We are fighting for the very essence of our liberty in the Republic.

I want so much to be optimistic. To believe that there is good out there. That the "establishment" is not so evil that it would ignore and smirk (a la McClinton) at the message of freedom.

To see this kind of thing happen before our eyes is tragic.

 

[Mopsus]

I feel ya man. I was so pissed at that circle jerk debate, that I poured an import down the drain. Keep your chin up!

I'm doing Tai Chi just to get my blood pressure down. Live to fight another day.....that sort of thing. Be strong.

 

[jaybone]

Frustration is normal and rational, but completely unproductive.

Ron should have and needed to have been more vocal and assertive.
Huckabee fought for extra time and made it known that he was being marginalized.

Granted Ron tried once in the beginning but was smacked down by Anderson 'A-hole' Cooper but he should have taken the dickhead to task for it when Anderson promised him time to speak in 2 min and then continued to ignore him for like 15 more.

You weren't alone
Im still teary eyed.

Im not giving up but hope is dissolving.

Ron got 3.2% in Florida. He's lucky he was in the debate at all. I bet he got way more than 3.2% of the total time. Still he got shafted no doubt about it.

Whenever he gets shafted we all get shafted and this has been going on since day one. If Ron Paul is our next president it will only get worse. Every day the media will be interviewing members of congress and pundits to tell us what a big mistake we made electing him. Every thing that goes wrong will be the fault of President Paul and nothing that goes right will be credited to his administration. The transition we hope for will be very rocky and it will look like we made a mistake. But if he is not elected everyone will only wonder what happened.

Except for us. We will know.
