Is The GOP Race Over?

Whatever one may think of Ron Paul, it is macabre how the media ignore him, in light of his polling success, and the amount of apparent support he has, especially among younger voters.

I was watching 'CrossTalk' on Russia Today, this morning, and the dabate was about Newt Gingrich. At numerous points in the discussion, ALL the GOP candidates were metioned, every single one, with the exception of Ron Paul, who was not mentioned once.

I'm sorry, but this is a conspiracy in it's own right. What further evidience do people need, that there is a concerted effort afoot, to prevent this candidate from rising up and challenging the power structure that pulls the strings for both politcal parties. Are people deliberately ignoring reality?

I should have paired the above link with this one:

Paul leads in Iowa

Ten, not counting those that have been canceled.  And more to come as they are announced.

Yeah, I agree, and that's a shame, because I really think we'd see who would make the best President of those folks if they had more specific executive-based questions.

What about "third" party candidates? Donald Trump? (yeah right. What a clown). Michael Bloomberg? Ron Paul if he doesn't get the GOP nomination.

Edwards might be an even bigger scumbag than Newt.  If that's possible.

When you dismiss him so easily you understand nothing.  But good job in absorbing and regurgitating talking points of the right wing noise machine.
