in other news, rudy calls it quits as does edwards.

Ignoring all conspiriacy bs you have to admit that the lack of media attention can infact have an impact on his votes. That impact, while large, admitadly wont be enough to determine the running, but it is an impact.

That should bother you. It bothers me. It could be any canidate, but our current media not giving a runner any kind of attention pisses me off. They have a responsability to us. That responsibility is what comes with all of their rights. They are abusing their own power to make money. Not a consipiracy. They're a business, but it aggrivates me.

well stated. admirable lack of tin foil hatness in your post. i will still submit that he's not being talked about much in the media b/c the media knows that he could never win - just as someone like kusinich etc. You might say that we will never know b/c he never got the same media attention/coverage as other candidates, then i would say, yes we do know, as he's not electable - he's too fringe of a candidate. but thats all just my opinion.

"The media doesn't focus on him because he's not popular. He's not popular because the media doesn't focus on him."

What nifty logic.

It's PC, he thinks that homosexual marriages should be banned because according to a false study whose author was exiled from the scientific community for, they're more likely to fail.

Huh? Are you talking about Dr. Paul?

zSilver_Fox · 01-30-2008, 11:41 PM

No, I'm talking about Puppychow.

I think the fact that Ron Paul doesn't echo the views of those that edit and control the mainstream media has more to do with his being ignored by the media more than anything else.

I find it amazing you bring something up that was what, close to, or over a year ago? Talk about holding grudges.

And secondly, I wasn't basing my opinions solely off of some study. It's what I believe through personal observation and other self reports from those who are homosexual that I have either been good friends with, or at worst aquaintences.

Lastly, even though I know you were wired for this, please get off my jock. in countless threads you bitch about me and say "that's b/c PC thinks XXX." You have an annoying habit of being the worst kind of queer - the whiny kind.

Then, with the claims of a liberal media that abound on this board, I wonder how any republicans get any airtime.

As for Ron Paul, I don't think he gets airtime because he doesn't have a chance and everyone knows it.

Did I say "liberal media"? Are you suggesting that there isn't a bias?

Etzell · 01-31-2008, 07:04 AM

1) Sarcasm.

2) I'm suggesting the bias and its effects are overblown.

KubeDawg · 01-31-2008, 10:22 AM

Fuck. I watched the debate today, and it looks like Ron Paul got owned pretty hard there. I think Huckabee makes the most sense and is probably more likable than the others, I just hope Ron Paul can get his shit together so he can stay strong throughout the rest of the Primary's.

BinaryLife · 01-31-2008, 02:45 PM

Huckabee disgusts me. If he is elected president I might honestly consider starting a revolution.

...and then quickly get distracted by cheese.
Mmmm cheese.

uBeR · 01-31-2008, 04:02 PM

Ron Paul didn't get owned.. he got hardly any questions asked to him. The media just cares about the bickering between McCain and Romney. While they're arguing over who's more liberal, Paul's over there being the only one discussing conservative positions.

KubeDawg · 01-31-2008, 05:24 PM

haha that's what I meant by getting pwned lol. It's unfortunate that the mainstream media doesn't look at him and see a more serious candidate... And now Gov. Schwarzenegger is supporting McCain...

So if he loses the govenator will go back in time to before the votes were cast and kill his competitor's mother?
