Hey, Eric Dondero (post #1). You are the ex ron paul staffer you who got fired for lying and being a neo-con. A sort of wolf in sheeps clothing. Everyone knows you’re a jerk and a lier and no one believes a word you say.

I assume that this was a leaked document from the board room of the Elite Broadcasters?

Ed’s Note: It is satire. I indicated that and the source of the document at the top of the blog entry. Thanks for reading!

We’ll continue after this brief message:
Due to our perfectly sensible policy of only giving attention to candidates who have name recognition due to our policy of giving them attention, we are unable to give attention to any candidates who do not have name recognition due to our policy of not giving them any attention. Thank you for your understanding. -MSM

Ron Paul cannot win and this I surely know. It’s true and can’t be doubted, since the TV tells me so.
If Ron Paul wins a poll, then it’s spam and just for show. Should he lose, it’s scientific. The TV tells me so.

Oh my, what a great read. This crystallizes what I have been thinking for a long time. I will do my best to link to this and spread it to the four winds. You really hit the nail on the head. Chapeau

One other thing that has always pinched my nerves is the constant focus on the internet. (you alluded to this in the “FOCUS ON THE CAMPAIGN STRATEGY RATHER THAN THE MESSAGE”). This is completely rediculous. The internet is simply the communication medium. As an example consider a company such as Del Monte foods. Do we refer to Del Monte as a “highway-based company” because they use the highways to deliver their product? Absolutely not. It’s the message that provides the voltage that catalyzes people to uses the internet to spread, because of course the internet is the most effective & efficient means of communication today.

On the contrary. The exact opposite is happening. They’re giving Ron Paul a complete pass.

I served as his 1996 Campaign Coordinator here in Texas for his Congressional Campaign. The liberal Houston and ultra-liberal Austin newspapers ate Ron Paul for lunch. Daily barrage of attacks on his for being a “Racist” and tied in with Anti-Semitic groups, and a fringe Texas Separatist. It was awful stuff.

But back then Paul was running more as a standard Republican, almost a Bush Conservative.

Now, he’s bashing Bush and opposing the War in Iraq. So he’s become the media darling, getting far more press than he deserves.

Witness his national polls numbers are consistently less than 5%. Yesterday a poll came out of Florida with Paul at 2%!!

Duncan Hunter has nearly the same poll numbers, but you don’t see the media fawning all over him.

Of course Hunter supports the War in Iraq. Ron Paul doesn’t. There’s your answer.
