Now is the time to write your letters to the editor! Now is the perfect time to write an Op-ed about Ron Paul!!
 
What makes me lol is when fox deliberately ignores Paul, then they have a segment about him being ignored. "For some strange reason, he isn't getting much air time!" Keep wanking, wankers.
 
I read through that Hot-Air article + comments and it wasn't as bad as i thought it'd be. Yeah, it wasn't GOOD, but folks are at least warming up.
