Fox News Debate Won By Ron Paul Despite Ridicule
Legal Newswire ^ | September 07, 2007 | Legal Newswire: Law Fuel

Posted on 09/07/2007 8:29:47 AM PDT by rface

The Legal Newswire - It is obvious that, after seeing the Fox News Debates on Sept. 5th, 2007, the mainstream media and GOP see Ron Paul as enough of a threat to stop ignoring him, and to start ridiculing him. From using a split screen to show Giuliani smirking as Ron Paul answers his questions, to the background chuckles as he is asked questions, Ron Paul has apparently become the butt of an inside joke.

However, with a 33% win in the post-debate poll, it is Ron Paul who should be laughing. Of course, Sean Hannity could not resist making the ridiculous statement that the “Paulites” had spammed the poll. The argument, both false and illogical, is used to attempt to plant the seed in the minds of the American people that Ron can’t win, and conclude he is a “wasted” vote.

If it were possible to vote multiple times from one cell phone, then what would be the advantage for Ron Paul anyway? The mainstream media would have us believe that the “front-runner” candidates are so popular, wouldn’t their supporters also text multiple times? In any case, it is impossible to vote twice. I tried it to make sure. So, unless Ron Paul supporters have suddenly become an independently wealthy group of lunatics, with dozens of cell phones each, the results must be representative of REAL PEOPLE.

The bottom line? The FOX News talking heads would have us believe that when the polls show unacceptable results, they must be wrong. This argument is wearing very thin. The American viewers who were paying attention were sure to see the obvious bias of the debate coverage. A full thirty minutes passed before Dr. Paul was given a chance to answer a question. This, after the “big three” had answered two or three each. Tancredo was also given very little time compared to McCain, Romney, and Giuliani.

The bias was not only in the in total time, but also the placement of the time. McCain, Giuliani, and Romney got both the first and the last word in the minds of the American people, opening and closing the debates. Then, they were the first to be interviewed by Neocon lapdog Hannity.

Ron Paul will not win over the entire Republican base. But he does not have to. The Ron Paul Revolution embodies the United, not Divided, States, as Huckabee would insinuate. He is pulling support from both sides of the aisle, drawing in the independents and the disenfranchised as well. The Republican and Democratic voters who put party loyalty above the issues will never vote for Ron Paul. Fortunately, they represent the minority.

So here we are, in the second phase of Gandhi’s aformentioned four phases. This is good news, because it means we are starting to make a difference. However, I predict that it won’t take long for them to move into full attack mode, looking for any and every opportunity to discredit and expose the skeletons in the closet Ron Paul must be hiding from the American people. Fortunately for us, we have a man with the integrity, character, and voting record to back up what he says.

Would this be a bad time to mention “Legal Newswire” is not a real news outlet but rather a place where people PAY to have their articles published?

Tancredo spent the entire debate laughing at Ron Paul.

Is that true? I originally thought it was some backstage mike turned on in error, but someone else told me it was Rudy, and that Rudy has intentionally laughed at his opponents in other political fora. I'd like to know who it was just to make sure I never support the classless jerk again.

BTW, I fixed the typo in your quote. I'm sure it was unintentional, but it did make you look juvenile and unintelligent, and I'm sure you wouldn't want that.

I don’t agree with this. Dr. Paul is not a traitor; however, I do question after every event; there is a story accusing someone of doing something wrong to him.

That’s a little to fantasy land Hillary like to me.

How so? Give me an example of how you think Ron Paul has a misunderstanding of the Constitution.

After all, with 1% of the population viewing, that just makes them able to enrich the mix for RoPaul more easily, since there's statistically fewer "other" callers phoning in to vote.

Of course they have to buy the phones though don't they? Oh that's right ANSWER, Moveon, and George Soros are buying them all and handing them out right? To little groups sitting in the dark depths of a basement ready to overturn Fox News polls!! OMG, I see it now...

So let’s see, if you disagree with the War in Iraq, disagree with U.S. foreign policy, that makes you a “kook” ?

No, he is a kook because he REALLY thinks if we leave the terrorist alone they will leave us alone.

No, it means that the Paulies cared enough about a stupid little poll to vote. This is why online polls mean jackshit. They aren't representative samples of the population. Paul can't even crack 23% in real polls.

Paul has never cracked 2.3% in the polls.

When he was relatively sane in the 1988 election he got .48% of the vote.

Can you provide proof of that quote?

He simply disagrees with the way in which this administration tries to pursue the terrorists.

Someone needs to ask Dr. Paul: “How would you respond if Congress did declare war on Iran, and upon the Iraq insurgents?”

Presumably, he would reiterate that he does take his orders from the Constitution, and he would stand with his country, right or wrong. Maybe that would minimize the ignorant “treason” allegations that litter this forum.
