And we want to discount the media, and ignore them?

not discount. something more permanent.

 

[tempest]

According to CNN yes. Dr.Paul will be 3rd

Edit: Fox News also agrees

 

[eduardo89]

Looks like it.

Well, since they're not likely to support our candidate (too much money to be lost in corporate interests), we don't have much choice other than to ignore them, do we?

Something Stinks With Santorum

Santorum had literally no money working in Iowa, and yet, he can beat Paul? Something doesn't add up...

The financial establishment and their media are very powerful. They don't care whether Obama or Romney (or any of the other Big Government Republicans) win. They
prefer Obama to Paul.

Average Republican voter prefers any Republican so long as Obama loses. They prefer Ron Paul to Obama.

This primary helps establish Ron Paul's voting block as big enough to make or break the eventual Republican nominee. Ron Paul cannot say it, but we the grassroots need to tell the Republican voters that we think W=Obama=Romney. You give me Liberty or I give you Obama! A vote against Paul is a vote for Obama.

After establishing our power to do this, we must quickly make this point to the Republican voters. Soon enough that we can win a majority of delegates for Republican
Convention. It must be made crystal clear because these sheep have thick skulls.

This is the only way Ron Paul can become President.

Sorry, but the newsletters fiasco has not been handled well at all, especially considering the campaign NEW about this crap for the last 20 years. The fact they bought so much ad space attacking Newt, and very little on Dr. Paul apparently and his record, I think is an issue. Also, the media 4 weeks ago started talking positive on Santorum, and that was the first sign(some around here saw it), that Santorum was after Newt. Perhaps 3rd is the best spot for us, because now all concentration will hit Santorum and he has no record to run on, and it also shows that Romney does not have the momentum of an upswing from 2008, as he is basically at the EXACT same percentage from 2008 as he is now.

Thanks Lew Rockwell author of the Newsletters.

This. And apparently without the guts to step forward and admit it. And if he didn't write them, he knows who did. He'll let RP take the heat for it when he can easily prove who is responsible.

 

[ronpaulitician]

We fought the law warmongers, bankers and MSM, and the law warmongers, bankers and MSM won.

I guess we should just stop fighting now, right? After all, there's very little at stake, and when you lose the first battle, you should just give up.

 

[itsnobody]

Not sure if Santorum wins....but RP 3rd...

 

[archangel689]

I think it was rothbard himself now. It sounds like rothbard...very calculating.

Not that i think it matters, supporters of other candidates have written far far more horrible things. I will say this though, if it was written by rothbard, it's probably correct.

In any case, I am done. Let 'em have their statism because I foresee them starting a war huge war Iran/China and kill each other.

They are going to rape this country. That's how Fascism and communism works. It feeds off the previous generation of capitalism.

I sure as well won't be here for it and I sure as hell am not going to work 3 days out of the week and send my children off to die in some foreign country to support this crap anymore.

If the media backs you up they are literally talking about you 20 minutes out of the hour and they pump you up.. It's a lot better to have that then a 30 second ad that you are spending 70k on. I think this is probably the best outcome for us. We basically got a dummy candidate get put in first place.. The Santorum surge will be gone in 3-4 days time once the negative ads start coming out about him. Rush started this santorum surge thing and he timed it right. I think we will take new hampshire and easily take south carolina.

Are there any counties out there that will push out of 3rd

 

[nobody's_hero]

Forget the newsletters; I really have to point blame at the voters/listeners/viewers for not actually wanting to research a candidate until, oh, say, the week before or even the day of an election (or in this case, caucus).

Yea it's amazing.. You hear a couple sound bites and talking heads ramping someone up.. And he parades around his family and these people are more then willing to give their vote up to this person they have no idea about except they "like his personality and family".

Like literally, 4-5 days ago, Santorum was saying if he gets last he would pack up and go home

This is part of an email Ron Paul sent a week ago.

Dear Fellow Conservative,

During my entire time in Congress, I have often stood alone.

Whether it was opposing unconstitutional legislation or simply being willing to speak out for our fundamental freedoms on the House floor, there have been countless times when no one was willing to take on the establishment with me.

That's just one reason I'm so grateful to have the support of millions of grassroots patriots like you.

To tell you the truth, I've never needed it more.

Isn't it amazing how nasty and vicious the establishment gets when its talking heads and anointed champions are scared?

It shouldn't come as a surprise, yet I still find myself just shaking my head at the levels to which they're willing to stoop to keep you and me from being able to enjoy the full blessings of freedom.

But you know, there's one key truth we must not forget.

They wouldn't be this angry if we weren't winning.

Quite simply, they know I'm not alone anymore.

Everyday Americans, from small business owners, to stay-at-home moms, to veterans, to young people struggling to get a start on their dreams, are joining with me.

Ron Paul, you are no longer alone. The media is powerful but they are wrong. The truth will win. The revolution continues.

 

[Yoddle]

Just proves how powerful the media is. They can take a joke of a candidate who is in dead last and make him first in 3days.

 

[jersdream]

People were getting banned for telling people to beware of the media for what they did in here. Media still has a lot power.
