Seattle Times running Hit Piece the day Ron Paul is in Town!

Like Kent Snyder said a few months back. "if theyre not talking about you , youre not doing something right"

Are they talking about Huckabee? Are they talking about Duncan Hunter, Tancredo,McCain, or any of the other candidates who dont have 100 million dollars? NO. Thats because the only one that has true grassroots support is Ron Paul. They see him as a real threat and trying everything they can to make him look bad. They are doing this because they know hes picking up steam, picking up money and supporters. Its growing day by day and theyre scared.

This is a good thing.
 
I sent the author an email thanking him for introducing me to Ron Paul and how RP is uniting people of all parties and all walks of life, and that he doesnt sound like another political talking head. and finally a real conservative shows up
 
I sent him this email.

I was sure to say something not so positive and not seem so polished in the email so not to seem like too much of a "fan-boy":D

"I just wanted to thank you for the piece you did on the candidate Ron Paul. Ive heard the name before but never really thought anything of it. After reading this I went and checked him out because the article seemed very interesting and I thought it was time I started checking out candidates for 2008. So far I like what I see and just thought I'd send this thank you for it. I was wondering if you would be doing anything on other candidates in the future. Im just now starting to get interested in the 2008 race and this was a good start. This guy seems alot different than most politicians Ive voted for in the past just from what ive seen on his website. Seems a little out there on some issues, but seems like a very honest man with a good history of voting against bigger government, which is what we need right about now."


Thanks again,

The Seattle Times is a FAR FAR Left wing news paper. (Actually the Seattle P.I. is further left wing, but they are both owned by the same people)

They are smart enough there to realize that Ron Paul beats every other democrat in the two most important topics for this election. The War and Immigration.. (in fact he beats ALL16 contenders) and they don't like that.

Liberty is the death blow to Socialism.
 
Here's my letter to the editor:

To the Editor:

I am dismayed by Alex Fryer’s piece on Congressman Ron Paul, which ran in Friday’s Times. Congressman Paul is running on a platform of ending the war in Iraq, enhancing personal liberty and limiting government power in accordance with the Constitution. Mr. Fryer’s article paints Congressman Paul and his supporters as paranoid, anti-environmentalist, radical, conspiracy theorists. The article is misleading, and just plain wrong.

While some fringe characters may be drawn to support Congressman Paul as an “anti-establishment” candidate, Paul himself has been steady, sober and consistent through his many years of public service. Paul was a flight surgeon in the Air Force, and practiced as an OB/GYN for 20 years. He has served in Congress in the 1970 and 80s, and again since 1997 as an unwavering advocate for personal liberties, reducing taxes and government spending, and for a non-aggressive, non-interventionist foreign policy. He is not an isolationist. He just doesn’t believe we should go to war against countries that are not threatening our national security.

Ron Paul voted against the war in Iraq. He voted against the Patriot Act. He has never voted for an unbalanced budget. As President, Paul would not wiretap the phones of Americans or spy on our computers without warrants. He would not suspend Habeas Corpus. He would end the War in Iraq. He would reduce government spending and he would work tirelessly to preserve our freedoms. In short, he would obey the limitations imposed on a President by the Constitution.

I am not a fringe radical and I personally resent being characterized as one. I am an ordinary attorney living and practicing in Seattle. I am not waiting for the UN to invade and I am not afraid of black helicopters. I do not think Bill Clinton is the illegitimate son of anyone, and I am not a conspiracy theorist.

I do believe in the Constitution, in the creative power of the American people, in peace and in freedom. The Republicans and Democrats have both become parties of big government. Both have no problem with using the coercive force of government, both at home and abroad, to accomplish their ends. Congressman Paul is trying to change that. While you and your writers may disagree with his policies, it is dishonest and inappropriate for you to paint Paul and his supporters as radical, fringe characters. Perhaps you should consider saving such spin for the opinion page.

I love how both Republicans and Democrats wanna-bees try to paint us Ron Paul supporters as fringe-right lunatics when that is hardly the case. I for one consider all these neocons to be the lunatics, and that my views of limited-government and low taxation to be "normal"

Seems insane to want me to pay for healthcare for other people or to invade countries without provacation, but I guess I'm crazy like that.

I've seen many Ron Paul supporters in all spectrums of life, and I feel like he will win this election once the masses begin to realize just how powerful the message of freedom is.
 
Alex Fryor responded to my email

I sent the author an email after reading this article. I explained that I wasn't too fond of how it portrayed such a bleak outlook for Dr. Paul.

His response (apparently through proxy) was this:

Mike,
Thanks for your note. First, the comparison with Vilsack illustrated that Paul hadn't raised much money in Washington State so far. That's a fact. Maybe it will change after the fundraisers. If it does, we'll report that, too. As for Paul winning every debate, I think you'd have plenty of views opposing that opinion from the other Republican candidates. When you say people themselves are the only reliable journalists, you're really saying you only want to hear or read news that conforms perfectly to your opinion. That doesn't seem a very good way to test your assumptions or learn another point of view.
Finally, the story recieved lots of e-mails like this:


I just wanted to thank you for the piece you did on the candidate Ron Paul. Ive heard the name before but never really thought anything of it.
