CNN had a segment about the canidates and your money. In it they showed boards for each canidate.
Obama
CLinton
Romney
McCain
All had boards breaking down the main points of what they want to do with taxes.
Then the speaker talks about Huckabee, no board. He at least says what Huckabee's plans are.
Then he talks about Ron Paul.
Paul wants to go back to the gold standard and other weird stuff.
The MSM blackout continues. I have been up since 4:00 PST and that is the first mention of him on CNN I saw.
Thanks a lot, but typical all the same.

Indeed their words. Not mine. But how does that make him look to others that are undecided? Oh well I'm not voting for that weird guy...
Typical MSM BS.

Yes, the black-out is virtually total. None of the MSM have his pic or name on the web or TV.

A few minutes ago, I heard Joe Scarborough talking about a poll that's on MSNBC and he said, "...and for all you Ron Paul (fanatics?--I'm not sure what word he used) we put 'OTHER' on there just for you" (laugh, laugh, laugh).
I only barely caught this....so I'm not sure what he said exactly.....but it sounded really insulting.

Yeah..talking somewhere else about this, too. I would sure never go vote in his "poll". He's baiting us..ignore him.

I think he said 'maniacs'.
But he also mentioned that his son was probably dialing in for 5. None of the above because his son is a huge Ron Paul supporter.

The MSM has to resort to names/labels because he/she doesn't know what the gold standard is, thus it's wierd stuff and I can now shut off my brain.

"weird stuff" like "freedom" and "habeas corpus".

Duh... freedom? I know we have that here because I was told in school we have more freedom than any other country. :rolleyes:
I still have to cringe when I see more than one U.S. flag on a stage. Like we should probably have thousands of them so everybody knows we are patriotic. The typical mindset of the people of this country is pathetic.

Cancel your cable and let them know why! You can get a lot of the TV channels on your pc, for no cost! No, you can't lounge around in your living room and watch it (unless you hook up your pc to your tv) but you can make a dent in their control over our lives!

We hooked our PC up to our TV a couple months ago. My kids can even watch cartoon channels now without paying outrageous cable prices. Cable employees don't like this idea though.

One kid said he was voting for Paul during a feature on the "youth vote", in which ever other word was Obama (half of the rest were Barack, half again Clinton). The guy actually looked like Marc Scibilia (with the song) but he was on screen for at most one second, so I couldn't tell.
Then they went to WV results, and didn't think to mention where Paul's 10% went.
They said, paraphrased: "In the first round, Huck was in the lead and McCain was in third, so they voted for Huck to make sure Romney didn't win."
Can anyone tell me how this make sense as an excuse of a strategy? And who was the 1% who stuck it out for McCain?
Oh well, Split the delegates! Keep them out of McCain's hands first.

"Bill, from Columbus, GA" needs to get a clue about McCain.

Well precisely he said "unusual stuff" :D

Well you can buy FTA (Free to Air) receiver and you get everything for free. But you need to make some research first. Spread the word!
How to get everything? Do not ask me! But do your research.

Ron Paul was the lead story on CNN.com up until a minute ago when the showed that Huckabee had won the West Virginia GOP convention.
