New here. I'm more than a bit miffed on the post debate treatment Ron Paul is receiving. Ron Paul owned that debate, he hit the ball right out of the park time after time gain and again. The rest of the candidates spouted their usual talking points and canned rhetoric while Dr. Paul coolly and commandingly held sway with cold hard facts, a fact loudly and unhesitatingly demonstrated by the resounding approval of the audience throughout. He mopped up that stage with the rest of them.
Anyone who had not seen the debate would not know that by the post debate coverage though. The media treats this man as if he doesn't exist at best and rails against him with childish and unflattering spin at worst.
Yesterday, the day following the debate my wife was watching the national evening news with Dianne Sawyer. Sawyer delivered what I expected, going on and on about the "highlight of the debate", the spat between Bachmann and what's-his-name. No mention of Ron Paul whatsoever, not one syllable. I suppose for now that's better than the usual outright vilification he receives.
That's what I'm waiting for. Dr. Paul was afforded quite a lot of time in that debate. I find that highly suspect and I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop. Fox News has a lot of footage in the can to work their spindoctoring with and anything can be manufactured in the cutting room. For now Ron Paul has been allowed space by them, they have hung back for the time being and kept to their usual tack of ignoring him. They know full well he ruled that debate and any fool can plainly see that. Precisely the reason they are ignoring him still. For now. The establishment has every reason to fear him, he is truth personified. In their eyes Ron Paul is a very dangerous man indeed.
