SPARTANBURG, S.C. – Ron Paul 2012 National Campaign Chairman Jesse Benton released the following statement concerning the CBS / National Journal Republican debate:

“Ron Paul consistently polls among the top three in the key early voting states of Iowa and New Hampshire. He is polling in double digits in most respected polls.

“Congressman Paul is ranked among the top three in fundraising results.

“Congressman Paul serves on the House Foreign Relations Committee.

“Congressman Paul is a veteran.

“And, Congressman Paul has contrasting views on foreign policy that many Americans find worthy of inquiry and discussion.

“CBS's treatment of Congressman Paul is disgraceful, especially given that tonight’s debate centered on foreign policy and national security.

“Congressman Paul was only allocated 90 seconds of speaking in one televised hour. If we are to have an authentic national conversation on issues such as security and defense, we can and must do better to ensure that all voices are heard.

“CBS News, in their arrogance, may think they can choose the next president. Fortunately, the people of Iowa, New Hampshire, and across America get to vote and not the media elites.”

Ron also gets more money from active military veterans then all other candidates. CBS can go to hell.

Good job. That was a disgrace. I'm glad Jesse is on top of this.

[TexMac]

Good job, Jesse.

[muh_roads]

Paul only got 90 seconds for the entire debate?

[wgadget]

I'm thinking Ron Paul really WAS pissed.

MONEYBOMB time.

[asurfaholic]

Good god, gooooooo

This is the war I can support

[Sola_Fide]

If the campaign doesn't wake up and start making this an issue, then I will be discouraged.

[Xelaetaks]

Right on Jesse. CBS is disgusting. Fuck CBS.

WOW

[AlexG]

That was great! Call em out on it!

[kojirodensetsu]

Donate to Paul! CBS can go suck it!

[Ekrub]

Ron needed to pull out the big guns (donations from military) on his second and last question on torture. Anyway to pound that home

[Aratus]

Jesse Benton just took CBS to task for only 90 seconds in the first hour.
the next 30 minutes that were a stream on the net were better timewise.

[messana]

The CAMPAIGN needs an ad to ATTACK the CORPORATE ESTABLISHMENT.

[Travlyr]

Good Job, Jesse. To hell with CBS, CNN, and all the rest of the elite shills.

No One But Paul!!

[No Free Beer]

that was so blatant

[No Free Beer]

btw, the campaign needs to do something about this. what i mean by that is that they need to hold a press conference and let ron answer all the questions that were posed. something to make a fool out of these "journalists"

[freejack]

Unscrupulous SOBs. This means war. It's time for a second black this out moneybomb.

Good idea.

[SpiritOf1776_J4]

Spam it to the media and complain. Rally around this press release. Maybe they think they've tired us out, but this is our future and our entire lives and children's we're talking about.

You mean people like Mr. HERMAN CAIN?

[rutgerscamdenYAL]

This is going to get nasty. We need a serious attack add on the media.

[OrigSEOH]

Wow, I never knew...to big to fail.

Yes, when most of the likely Republican voters were not watching.

Good Job Jesse. I was so disgusted I had to donate another $25. I'm phoning from home again on Monday. Come on people! We have to get it done NOW! Phone from home, buy a precinct for the Super Brochures from RonPaulProducts.com, become a delegate, put it all out! Otherwise, we are doomed. I really hate to have to fight American doofuses who voted for more of the same or worse!

[wd4freedom]

My hunch is that the NWO section of the GOP has conducted real polls in Iowa, New Hampshire, SC, etc. and they are scared $&(*less. They know that unless they remove Ron Paul right now from the national conversation, all bets are off for their normal anointing ceremonial routine. This will be a real primary and a real convention. While the treatment was not fair, I truly believe that it means we are really winning......come on .......Newt???? This is their last dying gasp.

Cheer up folks and keep pounding the pavement.

Not sure what the answer is, but stern letters isn't it.
