Winstonm Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 Ron Paul 41%, Romney 32% in MSNBC poll Interesting that Ron Paul won the telephone poll voting by such a wide margin; of equal interest is that no MSM is reporting this and none are showing Paul as a leading candidate....yet. 2008 may finally be the year where both parties are in for a very rude awakening when the American public decides it is nauseated to the max with status quo and elcects someone with the guts to simply "tell it like it is". Bull Moose Party, anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uday Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 Rec'd a complaint about language. I thought I'm mention that we're more lenient about what goes on in the watercooler than in the other forums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrTodd13 Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 Every website I've seen where there was a poll that includes all the candidates shows Ron Paul competing effectively with Romney, Guiliani, McCain. Mainstream media won't even mention him. Stories about polls rarely include any mentions other than those 3 and Fred Thompson who hasn't even said he is running. This is ridiculous. John McLaughlin did mention him on his show but how many people watch that? Is there any doubt that this is a fascist state? Do not corporations and mainstream media collaborate to maintain the status quo by constant promotion and coverage of candidates who hardly differ and offer no real change?

fred Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 Please keep in mind that when people complain about posts they find offensive that our staff has to deal with it. This costs BBO time and/or money. So I would appreciate it if people would be a little more careful especially when it comes to making posts that are intentionally provocative.

Winstonm Posted May 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 DAVID BAUDERAPWednesday May 09, 2007 Maybe they're outside in the garden. They could be playing softball. Or perhaps they're just plain bored. In TV's worst spring in recent memory, a startling number of Americans drifted away from television the past two months: More than 2.5 million fewer people were watching ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox than at the same time last year, statistics show. Or maybe they are sick and tired of the Bull Fesces produced by these media giants like ignoring Ron Paul and his debate victory. Maybe Ron Paul should try to partner with Halley Berry on "Dancing with the Stars". Oh, my God there is more. This from the Washington Post: Voters trying to sort out their presidential choices aren't helped by debates cluttered with the likes of Mike Gravel (hint: he's a former senator from Alaska) on the Democratic side and Ron Paul (hint: he's a libertarian House member from Texas) among the Republicans. If the standard is that any declared candidate is entitled to a podium, we're going to end up with even more crowded stages in 2012. One possibility would be to allow viewers to vote off one candidate after each debate; it seems to work well for other TV programs. Right - notice the "other TV program" comment. That's telling, isn't it? This is all just a sham TV show organized to make it look like a real debate - how about we just put all the candidates on Survivor?
