Conservative newspaper NewsMax has endorsed Texas Congressman Ron Paul over Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachmann as the true voice of the growing Liberty movement within the Republican Party.

“Bachmann looks almost opportunistic” in comparison to Paul, writes Doug Wead in his June 28 article, Tea Party’s Pick: Michele Bachmann or Ron Paul?, noting the Libertarian-Conservative is “the man who made it fashionable to believe in the constitution again” and “has been consistent over a lifetime and seemingly incorruptible.”

Wead lists several of Bachmann’s shortcomings, which include:

Two terms in Congress for Bachmann, as opposed to 12 terms for Paul.
As a legislator in Minnesota, Bachmann allegedly proposed US$60 million in earmarks.
In Congress, in 2007, Bachmann appropriated US$3.7 million in federal pork.
A report shows Bachmann’s counseling clinic got US$30,000 in state and federal subsidies, and a family farm received a US$260,000 federal farm subsidy.
In 2008 Bachmann voted for Nancy Pelosi’s stimulus bill.

No, they didn't.

Doug Wead wrote an article about Paul on Newsmax.

Newsmax has NOT endorsed Paul for President.

Talk about sensationalism....

Doug Weed wrote the article though. I'm not sure the whole magazine is endorsing.

Clearly this blog took it as an endorsement, given the article. I agree it wasn't an editorial board or anything writing the article.

Yes, that blog is being sensational.

The article is an excellent article. It is great that it is on Newsmax.

But the blogger is being sensational by posting that Newsmax has endorsed Paul.

I don't care. Everything is perception.

Exactly, great point... Everything is perception!
This is good news, especially with Bachmann getting so much media coverage lately, however negative it may be.
