Today's Washington Post (the real newspaper, not some obscure blogger posting from the WaPo basement) started an eight-part series on the "front runners" with a three-full-page (A22-A24) profile of Hillary Clinton.
Spread across the top of A22/A23 are the following names under the banner "The Front Runners"
Clinton Obama Edwards Thompson Giuliani Huckabee Romney McCain
No Ron Paul

Well I'm starting to lose faith here. I am so sick of all this biased BS.
I have been gung hoe Ron until now, but I think it will be all of naught very soon. I mean, it looks like so many people are with us, but come caucus or primary day, all the sheep will come out of their stuper and vote for the war mongerers as usual. I don't want to give up, but i don't see the point when all the powers that be are against a Peace message!!!

fuck these assholes, Paul has more support than mccain... even in polls, lets bombard these fuckers with emails...
what makes me the angriest is no one thinks mccain has a shot at winning, not even mccain himself! i don't know why he even deserves frontrunner status. that's what bothers me the most!

They haven't fully come around yet but yesterday they had dropped Fred Thompson for Ron Paul in their Presidential lineup:

Ron Paul:
"Dr. No" makes The Line for the first time. Why? Because Paul's surprising fundraising success means that he will have plenty of money to reach Republican caucusgoers and primary voters with his unique message of getting American troops out of Iraq and drastically limiting the role of government. Paul seems likely to become a home for any disaffected voter unhappy with the top-tier candidates. While we'd be surprised to see him crack 10 percent in Iowa, his messaging is a surprisingly natural fit for a segment of New Hampshire's Republican voters.

But perhaps not ready to give due respect to RP still.

The MSM reminds me of a man who once had a terrible condition one night of having an unusually itchy ass.
Well, he woke up with stinky fingers.
Ron Paul will win. We are the ones who will vote this time. The MSM thinks it will be the same old 4% of voters who went to the polls 4 years ago.

As I said, I don't give a rip about bloggers. The only thing that matters in the Washington Post is the PRINT EDITION.

They're not so much against peace, they're for money.
The same money and power that have ruled for so long.
The first Revolution didn't have much support at first either.
You have to have faith and believe in yourself no matter what anyone says.
If you're a quitter then you're a loser no matter what the score.
I know we're right and God is on our side,
and no matter what, I'll take that all the way until I see God face to face.
"Winners never quit, and quitters never win.
Be a winner, restore your faith, and NEVER quit. Ever.

I totally disagree with your attitude. Americans are ready for Ron Paul. The American public doesn't control the media. The media is at fault here...not the average American voter. If RP had equal, fair, unbiased media converage then he would no doubt win in a landslide. Unfortunately, the media establishment is working tooth and nail to keep the average American voter from being informed on Ron Paul's policies.

i agree. my god if this isn't the biggest uphill battle of our generation, but i do agree, it's not the people's fault, it's the media (powers that be).

Don't get me wrong guys, I WILL NOT QUIT!!!
I will try my best to turn everyone to Ron's side of the force. But I'm just saying, that there are a million people that don't research anything about the people running, and they just vote according to the news because "The news knows who the best will be". So if Paul doesn't start getting even the smallest bit of respect this month, things can go south really quick.

This media is clueless of what is going on. Anyone see the C SPAN on candidates and the internet? They had Mrs. Huffington of Huffingtonpost, McCains media guy and Hillarys internet specialist. They went blah blah internet wont have any impact just lets people talk to each other about politics. A guy from the Manhattan meet up (obviously a RP supporter and miffed) said what about Ron Paul how come Ron Paul has thousands of people in meet ups and hillary has hardly any? They looked clueless but the Hillary guy said well we have places on our web site that tells people where to go to meet up and be involved. Then dismissed Ron Pauls internet support as nothing real but people talking about politics and not going to vote etc. Then the McCain guy got in something about Ron Paul cant be taken seriously because he is kooky and his supporters are fanatics.
The McCain media guy was a pompous @ss full of himself, probably being paid hundreds of thousands by McCain. This is what we are up against. They wont believe it until the votes are cast. Everyone here needs to vote in this caucus or primary or become a delegate to send these fools to the unemployment line.
Dont let fear or doubt suppress the deep desire for liberty.....WE WILL WIN

stop being giddy when bloggers mention Ron Paul. It means nothing.
The John Stossel interview means nothing.
If its only online then it is worthless.
We need Ron Paul in the papers and on TV/radio.

I agree. I have tried talking about Ron Paul to friends and family and their response is "who is that, I havent even started following politics yet". People wait until the last minute and then have no idea what they are voting for. Its a crying shame.

stay strong dude, most of the sheep don't even know what the hell primaries are. All of Ron Paul supporters, I repeat, all of them, will be present at the primaries. We have got to win this by sheer numbers alone.

Not everyone reads the Washington Post. Stay focused.
We need to blow The Tea Party wide open on 12/16. THAT will wake a lot of people up from their slumber. Then, keep doing your best on the ground. Become a delegate, make arrangements to get out the vote. And then we also need to fund our grassroots ads.
There is more than one way to skin a cat. This is our chance. We can't stop now.

At a meetup meeting a couple days ago.....the organizer cited a statistic that said 94% of registered republicans do NOT vote in the primary.
Greater than 90% of the eligible voters probably don't even know what's going on with the primary until they hear all about it after IA and NH.
Which is why it is CRITICAL to serve the MSM with an upset in IA and NH to shock and awe this nation and truly wake up the masses from their stupor.

I can't believe they still call that guy a front runner. 0% chance he'll be president.
Let us surprise them in Iowa and New Hampshire. You won't see President Paul left off as much.

The more the lamestream media ignores Ron Paul, the more his supporters will rise to the occasion and work even harder for our candidate. Although it doesn't look like a positive thing, we can turn it around and make it positive for us.
In fact, it's imperative that we do this consciously. Norman Vincent Peale and countless others have showed the power of positive thinking. You draw to you what you dwell upon. If you're in a negative space, you will draw negativity to you. So when you start feeling down or depressed, flip it by finding why it's good.
I kid you not, this type of thinking is much more powerful than negative thinking. It moves mountains.
