Iowa: Ron Paul 10%, Rudy Giuliani 4%. Mr. Paul was just 3% points behind empty suit Fred Thompson and John McCain.

Guess which one Fox will pretend doesn't matter. Hint: It isn't the establishment, big money, big corporate guys.

Once again Fox reveals itself as a program that makes up the news rather than reporting the news.

This juggernaut has to be stopped eventually. Our own FCC is helping Murdock and his pals become even more powerful as a propaganda machine. This country is spinning completely out of control through MSM starting with FOX.

Faux News. Second of all, lets not just take on fox. Lets mobilize the entire Ron Paul meetups and volunteers to proposed and pass legislation to fix the entire issue of our public airways and the FCC must be purged of any and all past, current and future employees of media.

Its time to implement our own revolution through badgering and beating up on our congress critters. If your as sick of this sh*t as I am, you will join us in getting control of our airways and media back again.

WE can do it.

Paul is a loon. Many of his followers are extremist from the White power groups. He harkens back to the time of the know-nothings, to the Jackson populists that destroyed the economy and broke every treaty with the native people.

What is so frightening is that some many so called progessives have fallen for his snake oil pitch.

Life Is a Gift from God
We hold from God the gift which includes all others. This gift is life—physical, intellectual, and moral life. But life cannot maintain itself alone. The Creator of life has entrusted us with the responsibility of preserving, developing, and perfecting it. In order that we may accomplish this, He has provided us with a collection of marvelous faculties. And He has put us in the midst of a variety of natural resources. By the application of our faculties to these natural resources we convert them into products, and use them. This process is necessary in order that life may run its appointed course. Life, faculties, production—in other words, individuality, liberty, property—this is man. And in spite of the cunning of artful political leaders, these three gifts from God precede all human legislation, and are superior to it.

Life, liberty, and property do not exist because men have made laws. On the contrary, it was the fact that life, liberty, and
property existed beforehand that caused men to make laws in the first place.

Taken from The Law

If you want to block Paul from this weekend's forum/debate (especially after his decent showing in Iowa) maybe you're simply afraid of what he has to say will pull voters from your party.

So afraid that you'll choose censorship over discussion, and that's poison to Democracy.

They are nothing but conservative right wing extremists who want to remove the word UNITED from the name of our country. Destroy public education, social programs, freedom of choice-anything that is liberal in the United States. Turn EVERYTHING over to the states-women will be third class citizens under Ron Paul and his zealots. Except for his stand on the war, Paul is pure conservative Republican.

We don't need another ignorant, conservative TEXAN in the White House. How's that worked for you for the past 7 years? Just great, right?

Ron Paul will liven the debate and make it interesting to say the least. Heck the others are all clones.

Hey, Encino Man- guess what? I am a Native American woman, and I am voting for Ron Paul. And I take issue with your assertion that "Many of his followers are extremist(s) from the white power groups." I would venture to guess that you haven't had much dialogue with Paul supporters if you really think this, instead taking news reports word for it.
I want to know how exactly you believe that Paul will destroy our economy, and how his platform runs parallel with leaders that broke treaties with Natives. Really, I'm interested.
Also, for those of you calling this man a loon and a crazy and wack-job, I think it's crazier that you sit by without protest while a national network censors a viable presidential candidate, with unprecedented grassroots fundraising and support. And even loonier that you think it's appropriate. And jaw-dropping that you aren't willing to discuss the dire straits this country is in- Paul is the ONLY candidate talking about issues such as our debased currency, the NAU, what NAFTA and the WTO are doing to our country, the lack of respect of our Constitution by our EMPLOYEES, who work more for the corporate sector now than they do for the American people. The only candidate to talk about our vanishing civil liberties- NO ONE ELSE WILL TALK ABOUT IT- and you're appreciative of him being censored! The old media is afraid of him- it's the only explanation for the way he is either ignored, or received so coldly. Encino Man, please tell me; how many companies TOTAL own the tv networks in this country? Who owns them?
Please go to Google video and find "OutFoxed: Rupert Murdock's War on Journalism" and come back and talk to us. I want to know what you think of the way so few people have been able to direct the information that reaches us.
I'm disgusted and disappointed.

RON PAUL SHOULD BE BANNED FROM ALL FUTURE DEBATES.

He supports peace, civil liberties, and personal and economic freedom. This strange ideology obviously has no place in American politics -- let alone the GOP.

When he raises issues like torture, the insane War on Drugs, bloated government, and the possibility that America may be a red white and blue mom and apple pie fascist state, he makes both the other candidates and the great majority of American voters uncomfortable. He has even provoked some to think, which is.... unthinkable.

So yes, BAN RON PAUL! Make America safe for soothing lies. Let Americans go back to beer and sports and reality TV and music videos.

When, not if, but when, someone we like gets banned from a debate, (Dennis Kucinich), we scream bloody murder; but when it is the other side's dark horse(Ron Paul) we should say "Good" or he "deserves it"? Why should the other side call us hypocrites? Why give them a reason to?

I just watched Huckabee play the guitar on Jay Leno. All is lost. You thing Americans will fall for that stunt again. Clinton on Arsenio Hall playing the sax. Wow is this what gets a candidate over the top? No substance, weak on immigration, disavowed Christian doctrine of the Just War. And he's a preacher? Come again? I think Americans are starting to wake. It is not time for pessimism or optimism. Reality check, Ron Paul.

I know this is off of the FOX Topic.

First of all let me say that I am from Iowa. Dr. Paul placed 3rd in my county. He placed 3rd in about 15 counties, 2nd in about 5 and 1st in Jefferson county. The caucus process here, at least at my precinct was laughable.

Our orginal polling place was too small, so they moved us down the block, to a church.

Each candidate could have one person speak on their behalf, I spoke my piece about Dr. Paul, was rudely cut off at exactly 2 minutes. Then went a Huckster, then a Romney, then a Rudi, then a Romney....uh did I say Romney twice, yep 2 people were allowed to blabber about Mittens Romney.

Then the ballots were passed out....post it notes, not joking...post it notes were the ballots, you had no hard surface to write on, because you were standing or sitting in folding chairs.

Then a bucket was passed around and you would drop your ballot in, like a church offering.

Then the ballots were counted in front of about 3 witnesses...all fine, then someone called in the tally to a secret 800 number. I have heard that it is a hired vote tallying company in New York, owned collectively by, Fox, CNN, Cbs, ABC and NBC. Sounds ludicrious I know.

There were about 12 people who thought we would then take another round of voting, becasue they were democrats, and thats how the Democrats apparently do it, upon talking to these people, they voted for Thompson, but upon a 2nd round of voting they would have voted for Dr. Paul. There were about 100 people there.
So if they would have had better instruction on how the Rep. Caucus works, we would have had a 2nd place finish for Dr. Paul.

Moving on to Huckabee. I think what is misunderstood, is that the Judeo/Christain cult in our country, will do absolutely anything that their pantywaisted pastors tell them to. I am a Bible Believing, God Fearing Christian myself. The difference is I don't attend a church with the rest of these braindead sheeple. It is the whole poison cool-aid mentality. I know alot of these folks. I tried in vain to tell them about, Dr. Paul. He is afterall 100% Prolife, and actaully has a voting record to back it up. THEY DON'T CARE. They have been programed to vote for Huckabee and that is what they did.
CAN HUCKABEE BEAT BARAK, HILLARY OR EDWARDS?
I tell them there is not a snowballs chance in hell, of him pulling that off. So then we are left with what they say hate the most, a liberal democrat, pro choice, more taxes, pro-gay...etc.
Why won't they listen? Ron Paul is THE only one who will pull enough from all 3 parties to beat the Dems this fall.
Done ranting thanks for listening.

Vote Ron Paul!!

A phone blitz on fox news is being planned that will not stop until Fox agrees to allow Ron Paul at the forum.
Fox's main number 888-369-4762.

Ron Paul is like Obi Wan. The more the Empire tries to kill him, the more powerful he becomes.

And remember kids, ukuleles and drugs to not mix.

First of all, Ron Paul claims that basically any program that isn't allowed the federal government explicitly in the constitution is unconstitutional.

FEMA, the EPA, the DOE, the National Endowment for the Arts, Welfare, Medicaid, Social Security, the National Park system, etc, etc, all unconstitutional.

Just for the sake of argument, let's say he's right. Is the rational thing to do to kill all these programs? How about pushing for a constitutional amendment that makes them legal, instead?

He has a radical right wing agenda to turn back the clock to the days of the great depression and the dust bowl. He just couches it in constitutional lingo.

Second of all, his horrid sales tax scheme is regressive as hell, it will tax poor people far, far more than rich, when measured as a total amount of money, or as a per-capita income to tax ratio. Secondly, it will destroy the economy overnight. People spending money is what keeps the economy going. People will stop spending, leading the government to raise taxes, leading people to spend less money, until the sales tax is 50-80%, and we're living in a third world country.

Ron Paul is a disaster waiting to happen, and I'm shocked that progressives are swayed by his radical nonsense.

its really funny to me that today in America, Brittney spears, Anna Nichole,Paris Hilton and friends can get more media coverage than a presidential hopeful (Ron Paul). come on people we show our own ignorance as a society when we turn campaigns into popularity contest,or when candidates fall behind in the polls they have to attack there opponents and dig for dirt to ruin credibility.A co worker turned me on to Ron Paul and since then, for the first time ever i have considered voting. i agree with allot of Ron Paul's views and i like to hear him speak.when Ron Paul answers questions, he gives straight forward answers. when he speaks he doesn't sound like he is telling us what we want to hear, rather what we need to hear.all Ron Paul is saying we need to take what is wrong and instead of coming up with short time fixes, we need real change not a mouthful of empty promises, yes to some his ideals might be out of date but where are we now,close to $4 dollars a gallon and counting for gas. deeper in debt. over in other countries telling them how they should run. while we are at home watching The Biggest Loser, and American idol oh yeah, Brittney lost custody of her kids today. WOW!

It is quite unfortunate that we live in a country were the mass media has more power than the people and controls the people. It’s not about the people anymore, and nobody will do anything about it. It’s quite sad really. Dr. Paul is our last great hope.

We used to read about how Nazi Germany, Facist Italy, The Chinese, and The Russians tried to totally control every aspect of life; from spying on it's citizens, unwarranted seizures, opening mail, and control of the media. Ron Paul is just the opposite of all these things. He wants to give us back our freedom. The majority of human beings on this earth ask for this basic human right.
