GOP Establishment Candidates SCARED of Ron Paul

[Gravik]

Yup,. they're all scared :)

Notice how EVERY other candidate running for the Republican nomination has attacked ROn Paul within the past few days? They're scared...

First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win

This is the first time that they have actually fought him. The more they do this, the more he looks like a serious contender. Sometimes bad coverage is better than no coverage.

Yeah but the negative coverage of Ron Paul is very dangerous for my flat screen. I don't know how many more hits it can take.

then they fight you, then you win

Keep in mind, there is a LONG and DIFFICULT road between steps 3 and 4.

I like that they're finally attacking. It means we're a threat. Paul voters arent going any where. We are loyal and see past the MSM's lies. I'm not really worried about the MSM. They've been working against us the entire way.

[RJB]

Most of the attacks are so ridiculously imflammatory and self contradictory (such as the guy on Hardball who said Paul was for NO government but also government executions for gays. He made this contradictory statement within a 15 second period!!!

Hopefully Americans are awake enough to see the desperation of the MSM. I'm actually enjoying it. Smelling fear on the opposition is always good.

What you are in the midst of seeing is the Ross Perot playbook being played out. Only difference this time, it's 5x worse.

Agreed. Step 3 is just beginning. It shows just how tough Ron Paul is after taking all the hits from the media and other candidates thus far.

Now that people are listening, we need Ron Paul hopeful ads. Why people SHOULD vote for Ron Paul! Taxpayers best friend, 2nd amendment...

Really? This is the first time they have fought him? How exciting! :)

Yes. Before it was just the media and an occasional debate jab. Now several candidates are mentioning him by name left and right during interviews and public gatherings.

You can't beat your enemies unless you fully understand your enemies.

Great article. Hits the nail on the head.

If we gain the nomination then we get to endure ONE BILLION dollars worth of negative ads over a six month period.

If your screens are in trouble now you need to get a guru and learn to meditate fast.
