The mainstream media has trashed a lot of candidates in the past months, assisted by Mitt Romney’s campaign working behind the scenes no doubt.
So after all the dust settles should it surprise us that Ron Paul stands untouched.
The media will do a hatchet job on him if he does win the Iowa caucuses.
And P.S., I don’t support Mr. Paul at all.
The only good thing about this is that if Ron Paul wins Iowa, it will put an end forever to Iowa’s dominance of the process. He has NO chance of winning the nomination and everybody knows it.
TEA party members overwhelmingly back the newt?
There are lies and there are damned lies.
Ron Paul’s strength is a message to the party insiders that we want a govt-cutting constitutionalist. They can give us some choices or we will find our own. Foreign policy-wise, he’s an isolationist. Is that practical? I’m not sure. But being the world police is not affordable.
The margin of error is 5%, Paul’s number is 2.2% over Newt’s.
How is this being spun as a lead?
At best/worst, this would be a tie.
IF you'd rather NOT be pinged FReepmail me.
IF you'd like to be added FReepmail me. Thanks.

The fact a nutjob like Paul commands double-digit support says volumnes about the sad-sack state of the Republican Party.
Thus the NEW MATH: 7.4 + 11.2 + 4.9 + 23.5%
Rick be lookin' good..
