Unlike Ron's "ceiling", my hatred for the media has no bounds.

RON PAUL LIVE

Ron speaking on CNN now

 

[The Dude]

Guys stop comparing Ron to McCain. McCain was able to win the nomination because he got his own unholy MSM surge in 2008. Ron doesn't have that benefit. We won't get the momentum we need. We need to ride out the GOP race for as long as we can and then start planning a third party run.

Some perspective:

John McCain came in 4TH in Iowa!

 

[MJU1983]

Fox interrupts Bill Kristol to hear Ron Paul. LOVE IT.

 

[jsem]

We need delegates.

If Santorum is the nominee, young people will leave the GOP in droves. I guarantee you the establishment did NOT want this to happen. He verges on racist, and his theocratic tendencies cannot beat Obama. We live in a cosmopolitan and diversifying county. Santorum is 20 years too late.

And we didn't fail tonight. The Iowan people failed to get over their statist longings to use government to control the lives and temper the behavior of people they don't agree with. We did a great job promoting Ron to the country.

 

[Back In Black]

Iowa is 60 % evangelical . Explains Santorum.

I'm so sick of these assholes voting religion above all.

Fuck them pricks!

 

[ChristianAnarchist]

Dr. Paul on cspan right now..

Santorum does nothing but throw hissy fits in debates, hate gays, and hate muslims. And this is the winner of Iowa. We're fucked.

sadly, in America that win's elections for Republicans

 

[Jack Bauer]

100% increase is not bad for 4 years.

This is beyond disappointing.

Right wing radio hosts might have made the difference here. They pounded Paul for the last few days and he STILL got a STRONG 3rd place finish. Chin up!!

 

[Cortes]

Well, very good and very bad things.

1. Mitt Romney will now cruise to the nomination. (Let's be honest Iowa NH Florida Nevada...)
2. Ron Paul has done more more the libertarian movement in the last 4 years than any other liberty minded person, group, or organization, combined in the past 40 years.
3. The media can still lie/make stuff up to control the population.
4. Young voters DO NOT TURN UP.
5. That being said, these young Paul supporters will eventually turn older, and maybe in the future they will actually turn out/campaign for whatever liberty candidate is running.

+1

 

[rnestam]

media is being surprisingly fair as I see it....Santorum will get ripped to shreds within a week, better him than a strong Gingrich coming out with us...It's still on.

Scrotorum and Bomb iRomney

Some perspective:

John McCain came in 4TH in Iowa!

But he had establishment backing.

 

[NC5Paul]

Personally, I feel awful. Just awful. Sick, even. No matter what we do, the establishment won't let us win. The majority of voters let themselves be manipulated by the the MSM, and that's not something Ron or any of us can control. It's a sad commentary on our country. New Hampshire will be Ron's last hurrah. Rand 2016.

 

[mosquitobite]

More of what we've been doing already. Great ads, phone calls, mailings, boots on the ground, talk to people you know, talk to people on the internet. Nothing wrong with what we're doing already. Iowa likes the preacher types best, that's all.

^^^ Iowa = social conservatives = religious right

I hate to say it, but it does pretty much make Iowa irrelevant. Huckabee didn't get the nod in 2008 and there's no way in hell Santorum gets it in 2012.
