Your memory is getting faulty Badeye.

Howard Dean was the darling of the MSM during the last campaign season. The guy was in the news constantly, and if you believed the MSM propaganda, was a shoe in for the Democratic nomination

...Until Kerry started kicking his ass in the Primaries. Dean was entirely a creation of the media, and none of that translated into votes.

By contrast, Ron Paul can't get decent media coverage at all. The MSM goes out of their way to ignore him, especially after Sean Hannity's meltdown on Faux Nuze. (in between the 24/7 missing pretty blond girl of the week coverage)

In Paul's favour, i don't see him doing any screaming soon.

Not at all. Dean kept going as long as Soros' money could buy pizza and diet Coke for his little band of hippies. $40 million didn't last long that way.

In the current GOP race, that kind of spending has already deflated McStain completely, leaving him flying coach to New Hampshire.

And as the article says: "Indeed, former Massachusetts Governor Willard Romney’s campaign has become a literal welfare agency in order to win votes."

We aren't on a payroll. We spend our own money and give our time. Besides that, we donate steadily.

Whether you like RP or not, it's exactly the kind of grassroots you need to win primaries.

Paul's campaign is not comparable to Dean's.

Again, Dean's campaign was MSM-driven, and his support mainly consisted of die-hard lefties angry over the war and Bush. With Paul, you are seeing people from all walks of life, from all over the political spectrum, supporting Paul because of his belief to the Constitution which binds all Americans.

I'm sorry you can't see this or comprehend it and would rather resort to name-calling and smears. I know it hurts you and the Paul bashers inside that there are folks who won't listen to jive-talking hucksters ordering them to vote for the same-old same-old.
