Ron Paul "Spam Machine" overtakes latest Fox News Poll

Ron Paul was in first place at 35%, way ahead of the #2. Of course Sean Hannity went apoplectic.

Open Letter to John Harwood of CNBC

In response to John Harwood's tired eyed, condescending open letter or Ron Paul fans.

I imagine his eyes probably totally close when he types, if the way his mouth drains power from his eyes when he talks is any indication.

Ron Paul Searches UP, News coverage volume DOWN (CHART)

The more the mainstream media tries the worse it gets for them.

Notice how Ron Search plot is "levitating" in CNBC terms but the News Coverage Volume has PLUMMETED.

Too Many Candidates...ENOUGH of the "lower tiers"

I tell ya, why is it that SO MUCH ATTENTION is being given to the lower tier candidates? Why is CNBC concentrating so much on Fred Thompson, John McCain and Rudy "C-Cup" Giuliani?

The media could make this debate MUCH more understandable to the audience if they have TWO podiums. One with Ron Paul and the other with the candidates lined up behind each other. Isn't that what we're really talking about here?

CNBC update. AMAZING. Not one word about Ron Paul. What a joke. Wouldn't it be ironic if the new Fox Business News channel decides to capitalize on the Ron Paul craze and started to eat CNBC's lunch? CNBC should be ashamed. I wonder who is "war gaming" at CNBC. I mean. Did somebody REALLY decide that it would be better to minimize Ron Paul by NOT MENTIONING HIM AT ALL?! That is going to backfire big time. The would have been better off giving him AT LEAST the same coverage they are giving to loser, Huckabee. It's OBVIOUS to anyone who's watching today's coverage that they are crapping their pants about a Ron Paul whooping this afternoon.

RON PAUL CRUSHES ON CNBC PRE DEBATE POLL!

http://www.cnbc.com/id/21149087

but of course, since i've been watching CNBC early this morning, they have mentioned EVERYONE except Ron Paul...even Huckabee. It's unbelievable AND THEY AREN'T GETTING AWAY WITH IT ANYMORE. Judging from their own online poll, Ron Paul is CRUSHING at 73% right now (over 5,000 votes and counting).

RonZilla. Alan Stang on Ron Paul

"At last, the camera turned to Dr. Paul. Yes, he is handsome. He even looks like a President. But, after all, he’s a yokel, an innocuous country doctor. They would let him mumble for the allotted few minutes and move on. Everybody knows this thing is between Rudy and Mitt. Everything else is window dressing.

Then, suddenly, without warning, there was an Incredible Hulk transformation. Godzilla was onstage, biting off heads, tearing off limbs and chewing on the bones. Who was he? Where had he come from? Who let him in? The reptilian media scumbags couldn’t very well drag him off the dais. The cameras were live. They had to sit there and listen while Dr. Ron assured them that his first official act as President would be to dismantle IRS.

And across the country, from the west bank of the Hudson to the California line, a roar erupted, as millions of astounded Americans who pay the taxes, fight the wars and go to work (unless their jobs have been deported), realized that Dr. Ron was saying in plain English what they believe in private. Most of the other candidates spoke boilerplate. They saw they were not alone and not crazy. “Imagine! A candidate for President who thinks like me.”

The Ron Paul Breakthrough

Great article by Justine Romiando at Antiwar.Com.

Ron Paul is breaking through. His call to return to the vision of the Founders, and the principles embodied in the Constitution, is piercing the wall of silence that surrounds the conduct of our disgraceful foreign policy. Andrea Mitchell proclaims him the new Howard Dean, network television takes note of his fundraising prowess and the resonance of his message, and then we have this very favorable piece on CNN, not to mention this, this, and this – all of which points to the appearance – or, rather, reappearance – of a resurgent political movement on the horizon: an anti-interventionist wing of the GOP.

Commentators, including those who most definitely look on Paul's success with a very jaundiced eye, are baffled. Why is this happening? How could a mere blip on the electoral screen, a man nobody thought was worth even a footnote in the story of this presidential campaign, suddenly catapult into prominence?

The answer is illustrated in a recent poll, which shows that the majority of Iowa Republicans want us out of Iraq in six months – a far more radical proposition than any of the major Democrats has yet to offer. It's no accident that Paul's political breakthrough is occurring just as the dissatisfaction of the GOP rank and file over the Iraq war issue reaches the breaking point. As the sole antiwar candidate in the Republican field, it makes perfect political sense that Paul's campaign is in the ascendancy.
