Total media blackout on RP right now going on
- Thread starter jupiter
- Start date
I have a Yahoo news alert for "Ron Paul" and it really has dried up lately (went from 5 emails to 2 emails a day, with less articles). A few local hits about campaign offices opening and that's about it. Good observation.
I regularly check news.google.com at http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&ned=us&q=Ron+Paul
and it is so dead. I don't even see local news in Michigan or South Carolina. One or two articles in Nevada.
I've never seen it this slow.

It's too bad he won't use Bush's statements about using tactical nukes against Iran to protect Israel as another way of pushing the idea that only an assault against us directly should be used as a reason for war.

I just saw this:
ALERT..... .....
ALERT
This is an unbelievable, I just noticed that Digg.com
has been hijacked by CBS news.
They took ALL of the Ron Paul articles and made them impossible to find.
Not even the most recent ones with thousands of diggs. THIS JUST
HAPPENED. I called the campaign, I don't know what to do. CBS put McCain
with 651 diggs as #1 !!!! Ron Paul is NOWHERE to be found any longer
without searching pages and pages deep!! They took his picture off of
the candidates running....they won't show his name as having any
delegates without additional searching!! The top diggs are to be
broadcast on CBS....their agenda is being exposed. Their goal is to
censor Ron Paul articles! We are living under a regime of CENSORSHIP and
FASCISM. Please tell everyone that this has happened to Digg.com and
demand that it be stopped!!!
*I have no official source, just a private email.

Well, he would, if he could get any air time at all. Right now it's the Huckabee/Clinton/Obama/McCain/ News Hour.
They have shut him out completely, and not one word has been uttered in the mainstream about Ron Paul winning with 80 Percent in the Arizona Young Professionals Straw Poll, in McCains own home state, due to a Ron Paul supporter demanding to be involved in the counting, and forcing his way in to observe the McCain supporters who had carted off the ballot boxes.
They made a big deal about Duncan Hunter winning Texas, and failed to mention that the Texas straw poll used pencils with erasers for marking ballots that went into a ballot box with a twelve inch wide, five inch high opening.
He would definitely say something, but the news media has shut down reporting on him from all sources.

Funny how they failed to mention that RP is polling in 4th place.
RCP Average: Romney 27.0, McCain 26.3, Huckabee 15.9, Paul 6.6, Giuliani 5.7, Thompson 5.4

Further proof the latest smear tactic failed completely.
Now back to plan A, ignore ignore ignore.
Get out there and canvass people. Sign up as precinct captain. Get off the computer and talk to voters.
I'll be spending less time here now that I've got names on my walking list for my precinct. I'm ordering slimjims today, meeting people here in Oxford, MS today, and starting to take this campaign out of cyberspace and into the neighborhoods.
Ya'll do the same, ya hear?

If your not CANVASSING your precinct, and getting his message out to your neighbors all will be lost.
Who will your neighbors remember in the voting booth- some paid MSM blabbermouth, or someone just like them who made a great impression by going the extra mile for a candidate?
Stop worrying on what you can't control, and focus on what you can. Time is running out.

Bush Shakes Up ‘08 Iraq Debate
By: Nicole Belle on Sunday, January 13th, 2008 at 7:00 AM - PST Apparently, Bush has a plan to take away the Democratic frontrunners’ plans to use Iraq as a campaign issue.
Of course, the Republican candidates are entirely unaffected–seeing as they want to stay away from Iraq as much as possible–but Bush’s actions are non-political, make no mistake about that.
(A)s Bush rallied U.S. troops at the base here on Saturday with a “Hoo-ah” and conferred with his Iraq dream team, Gen. David Petraeus and Ambassador Ryan Crocker, he indicated that he was setting in motion policies that could dramatically affect the presidential race–and any decisions the next president makes in 2009.
In remarks to the traveling press, delivered from the Third Army operation command center here, Bush said that negotiations were about to begin on a long-term strategic partnership with the Iraqi government modeled on the accords the United States has with Kuwait and many other countries. Crocker, who flew in from Baghdad with Petraeus to meet with the president, elaborated: “We’re putting our team together now, making preparations in Washington,” he told reporters. “The Iraqis are doing the same. And in the few weeks ahead, we would expect to get together to start this negotiating process.” The target date for concluding the agreement is July, says Gen. Doug Lute, Bush’s Iraq coordinator in the White House–in other words, just in time for the Democratic and Republican national conventions.
Most significant of all, the new partnership deal with Iraq, including a status of forces agreement that would then replace the existing Security Council mandate authorizing the presence of the U.S.-led multinational forces in Iraq, will become a sworn obligation for the next president. It will become just another piece of the complex global security framework involving a hundred or so countries with which Washington now has bilateral defense or security cooperation agreements. Last month, Sen. Hillary Clinton urged Bush not to commit to any such agreement without congressional approval. The president said nothing about that on Saturday, but Lute said last fall that the Iraqi agreement would not likely rise to the level of a formal treaty requiring Senate ratification. Even so, it would be difficult if not impossible for future presidents to unilaterally breach such a pact.
As far as the number of U.S. troops that would remain in Iraq under such a pact, the administration is considering changes that could also pre-empt anything the Democrats have in mind.[..] In fact, one Pentagon contractor who is working on the long-term U.S. plans for Iraq says that the administration is considering new configurations of forces that could reduce troop levels to well under 100,000, perhaps to as few as 60,000, by the time the next president takes office.
The upshot is that the next president, Democrat or Republican, is likely to be handed a fait accompli that could well render moot his or her own elaborate withdrawal plans, especially the ones being considered by the two leading Democratic contenders.
It’s not bad enough the damage he’s done in the eight years he’s occupied the White House, he needs to continue the damage beyond his term

Have you visited the local nursing home?
Have you taken care of your precinct?
Have you called talk radio?
