Proof that no one watches the debates. They look to the news the following morning before work for a synopsis. Of which Paul is never mentioned.
No, they see msm and when the pollers call, they say what the idiot box tells them to.

The media is calling the shots. Just a nobody like me posting here kept saying since the 2008 campaign that if you do not have a national media outlet behind you we maybe doomed to fail again. With all the efforts and fund raising over the years how could people not see this and get investors involved in taking control of or starting a new national media outlet.
Rather than having people down at Wallstreet, they should rather be at the doors of the establishments propaganda machines like AP, Foxnews, MSNBC, CNN and Neocon talk radio stations.

not going to happen, and definitely not in time for this election. I think the best we can hope for in this sense is the rise of the internet and alternative media

If not for the internet Paul would be down at 1-2% this time, no doubt.
Its too bad most people don't do their own research and just think what the media tells them to think.

I keep saying it. We need to go into EVERY Tea Party website and EVERY Christian website and post the videos of Cain's blunders on the Fed, his failure to see the collapse coming and his abortion stance

average joe voter doesn't care that Ron is being blacked out. It's not a winning issue with the general public. Focus on Ron's positions.

Yup. Those who rely on the highlights don't even know he was there.

We need to hope that things get worse in the economy faster. As shitty as that is, it would completely end Obama's chances and make Pauls plan the only one the radio shows could point to that would fix things. He also needs to be on Hannitys show a couple times a week. Pump the economics hard. Thats where the majority of primary voters get their info. Rush, Hannity, and Fox News.

I'm in. Internet is where we are at the best. Campaing will handle the TV as good as it can, let's do our best in Internet.
In the long run, I think Ron Paul-supporters should put their efforts to rival against mainstream media. From constitutional, limited-goverment(/paleoconservative?) foundations. This is Paul's last election, but most of his supporters are 20-30. This force should be used to continue the fight for Paul's ideas. Some Internet-based magazine maybe(paper later?), radio etc. But, something! Real change in the GOP is just coming.

Just keep talking to everyone you know. I have this feeling like the media wants us to waste time and resources on them. We should be pressing full steam on getting more and more people aware and on board with Ron Paul, even just bringing it up in conversation...
This has been working for me well. Ive gained Paul an additional 10+ people in the last month or so.
Can you imagine if everyone could do even half of that? We'd be polling at 50%!
I agree, the media is a problem but I think that with Pauls economic plan, the debate, Cain failing and Bachmann and Perry continuing to slide we could see a real momentum shift here.

Most people don't really delve much into the issues. They just go about their lives and vote based more on who "feels" right than on issues and records.
Now there's nothing wrong with caring little about politics. That's the way it should be, if we had a SMALL GOVERNMENT who left us alone, politics and government wouldn't be much a part of our lives at all. In essence we want to drastically REDUCE the amount that politics plays in our lives!
When people accuse me of being "super political," I say they just don't get it. I want to reduce the effect the politics plays a role in our lives.
