Another GOP debate and all I see in the press is the
showdown between Romney and Perry. Is
that the case or is the press pushing for this?
It is a Fox debate and that is who they want. Fox is not as fair and balanced as they
proclaim.
The funny thing is that some polls show Paul as the
leader. Such as California http://articles.cnn.com/2011-09-17/politics/california.straw.poll_1_straw-poll-ron-paul-votes?_s=PM:POLITICS but all you see is there are only two front
runners. I wonder how much difference it
would make if the press was truly fair and balanced? I also question whether Texas cancelled their
straw poll because Paul was going to win making Perry look bad. http://100gf.wordpress.com/2011/09/20/ron-paul-texas-straw-poll/
New Hampshire embarrassed Perry with making him fourth. http://thehill.com/blogs/pundits-blog/presidential-campaign/183247-ron-paul-second-jon-huntsman-third-rick-perry-embarrassed-in-new-hampshire-poll.
How are people supposed to react to this?
They don’t even care or know or just go along with it.
Are the polls wrong?
I don’t usually believe polls but there has to be some consistency to
them and when it comes right down to it they are manipulated by those
supporting them and disproving them. How
is the public supposed to take them seriously?
Most are like zombies! “Whoooooh! They said Romney and Perry are the leaders so
let’s vote for them.”
We need some changes here that people will notice. How?
What is the point of these debates if Fox, CNN, MSNBC only put the same
two candidates in the spotlight and that is all the public sees. Why can’t the people have the debates in some
warehouse somewhere so we can ask the real questions and put the pressure
on. How about conning them into thinking
we really like them and are going to vote and then pull the rug out from under
them. The candidates have changed
positions so many times I don’t know which one to believe. Paul is a breath of fresh air because of how
long and consistent his positions have been.
He doesn’t know what the hell to do other than speak straight to what
his beliefs are. That is what I have
noticed over the years and the press does not want people to notice this. God forbid someone is truly honest.
That is why he likes Kucinich. They disagree on some but not all the issues
and respect each other for keeping true to their beliefs.
That is my assessment of today’s debate. No one gets a fair view of who the candidates
are but only who the corporate press wants you to see. It was the same for Obama. The press wanted him to win and that was how
it was. He was their prince and now some
of those talking heads are questioning things they should have been questioning
when he was campaigning http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2011/sep/19/liberals-vow-challenge-obama-democratic-primaries/. I don’t think “liberals” (I hate branding)
will have any real questions that would matter or that they would actually run
someone else against him but it is a thought and would be for good
entertainment.
The point is that politics on both sides are broken and the
press is not making it any better. When
I am watching the debate tonight it will be difficult to take in the preferential
treatment of Romney and Perry but one thing’s for sure. The only one who will stick to his beliefs is
Paul.
