Apparently the media doesn’t care about any of Paul’s issues such as funding endless wars, the onerous Patriot Act, abuse by DHS, the ludicrous war on drugs and more. This is weird to me since these are all issues the media cares about. It’s more obvious than ever that the media has marching orders and that’s that.
In the days after his runner-up finish to Michele Bachmann in Iowa’s August 13 GOP straw poll, Texas Congressman Ron Paul complained about a lack of media coverage, accusing the press of being “frightened by me challenging the status quo and the establishment.”
As pundits debate whether Paul is getting the attention he deserves, a PEJ analysis of campaign coverage this year indicates he is the 10th leading election newsmaker— trailing far behind non-candidates Donald Trump and Sarah Palin and as well as floundering Republican hopeful Newt Gingrich.
#58, LL
I am definitely NOT in favor of dismantling our social safety net. I am not in favor of disbanding our regulatory agencies, SEC, FDS, EPA, FDIC, etc. I am not in favor of dismantling our police agencies. I am not in favor of allowing unrestricted access to potent drugs. I am not in favor of allowing people to drive on the left side of the road in this country.
We the People want these agencies, programs, and laws. While most people would admit some laws might need tinkering or updating, their wholesale removal is not what we want. In many cases, we want stronger laws to prevent the abuses we see.
Bobbo, I know I post under both names, and I’ve certainly never received any instructions to do so, or seen it anywhere else, except when some liberals complain about it.
#62–MikeN==I don’t know what you are talking about. What two names? You don’t post with the name of Lyin’ Mike, you just happen to post such wildly nonsensical positions that in my judgment calling you a liar is a compliment as opposed to being just that crazy.
No one needs to send you a list if you pick up so readily on the talking points of those who do.
It is remarkable though how consistent and calm mannered you are. What goes with you Mikey? So completely paid off you quietly laugh at your job well done, or just a Turing Software program?
Hummmmm?
#61, I am definitely NOT in favor of dismantling our social safety net.
Not dismantling it. Changing it.
Current recipients will continue to receive their benefits from here on out.
You don’t find it abusive that we are going to force other people to participate when we know it they are against it and not needed?
I am not in favor of disbanding our regulatory agencies, SEC, FDS, EPA, FDIC, etc.
He didn’t say he was going to dismantle them. Just scale them back.
I am not in favor of dismantling our police agencies.
I don’t believe that was in there. Where did you see that?
I am not in favor of allowing unrestricted access to potent drugs.
But you do now — tobacco, alcohol
I am not in favor of allowing people to drive on the left side of the road in this country.
You like England so much, I shocked you don’t.
We the People want these agencies, programs, and laws.
Not really. Just the squeaky wheels. And FDR and his threat to stack the SCOTUS.
In many cases, we want stronger laws to prevent the abuses we see.
We aren’t enforcing the laws we have on the books now. What makes you think more laws are going to fix it?
Reminds of the joke where you get somebody to stomp on your toe because your head hurts.
So, does this mean you are ok with the rest?
#64–LucityLoser==please cite your poll finding that most Americans are in favor of reduced MediCare or Social Security?
Until such time==you are either a LIAR or crazy.
Mike==is LL the other name you post as?
Ha, ha.
Losers.
Yup I’m Turing software, and you failed!
I’m sue the voting public just loves to vote for whiners.
