Why? EASY.

NOBODY KNOWS HIS POSITIONS, NOR DO THEY EVEN KNOW HE EXISTS!

Listen, the Media is owned by special interests that have a HUGE interest in NOT seeing Ron Paul win. That is the reason.

Why there isn't a class action lawsuit that addresses the medias biasness and pushing certain candidates is a travesty and should be pushed to court.

Its too bad they all voted for John McCain.

There is a class action RICO lawsuit against the MSM. Check it out here:

Yeah. I know. The media screwed us over. This is partly a rhetorical question. Of course we knew from the jump that we'd have to go around the media. Wasn't that the reason for raising millions before the Iowa caucuses and NH primary? Personally I think we wasted money going after Tancredo's 2% instead of hammering the antiwar message. And I think on the grassroots level we were too interested in making the "personal touch". Instead of sending handwritten letters we should have simply sent postcards. Made sure the message at least got to every voter. And yes McCain got antiwar votes which boggles the mind! Maybe we should have run negative ads quoting McCain on leaving the door open to stay in Iraq for 100 years? I dunno.

Because, (get this) the courts have ruled that the media (FOX, specifically) does not have to tell the truth.

When I am out canvassing, I find anti-war Republicans. In fact, only a single supporter I have found is a Democrat.
