Its obvious with the Occupy Wall Street nonsense that the nypd is there to bash skulls. The police is effectively working for the corporations. This doesn't take away from the fact the whole situation is stupid to begin with.

So Perry pulls in over 17mil while Paul pulls in just over 8mill yet Paul had 5 time the amount of contributors. just going to show you who has the backing of big money in this race.
10/6/2011 10:45:32 AM
^ that's usually how it is. what will be interesting to see is how much of a drop off there is from this quarter to the next one. while paul should be able to keep up the momentum, perry may drop off given the maximum amount individuals can contribute to the race.and i'm wondering if he's taking primary and general funds (most likely is) and how much of that he can actually spend during the primary.

Ron Paul Media Blackout Confirmedhttp://www.journalism.org/analysis_report/cr
10/17/2011 4:17:07 PM
seems like you wouldn't be worrying so much about the traditional media and what they do. I thought Ron Paul was all about being out of the mainstream and catching on through alt means?to be sure you've got some creative people on board that can make him go viral.
10/17/2011 4:35:24 PM
Paul would be doing much better right now if he wasn't running as a Republican. With the increasing popularity of Occupy Wall Street, he could have easily jumped in and made huge gains in popularity as an independent. But now he's doomed to being viewed as another member of the establishment.That being said, I still wouldn't vote for him in the principle that he's just another "strip govt of power."We don't need smaller government, we need more effective government that's actually representative of the will of the people.What I don't understand about libertarians, is the perverse notion that stripping government of its power will somehow weaken corporate interests, even though every move of deregulation has proven to strengthen the power of corporations.Almost every poverty stop-measure of FDR's New Deal has been eroded in the past 30 years, and the conditions of the middle class should prove that these social safety nets are necessary for the functioning of a healthy society. But you guys ain't havin' that, and want to talk about getting rid of one of the last New Deal measures like Social Security and medicare/medicaid so that your parents can rot away when they're older, so that you can opt out of payment today.[Edited on October 17, 2011 at 8:08 PM.

I know independents don't win. But Ron Paul is too radical of a republican to really be a republican. And to align himself with a Republican severely limits his appeal to his own base.He wasn't/isn't going to win either way, so he would better off running as an independent and altering the national discourse rather than trying to transform a stubborn Republican party that is unwilling to adapt to his message, which is what is going to happen. He would have been better off as an ideological martyr, in my opinion.[Edited on October 17, 2011 at 10:15 PM. Reason : ]

Ron Paul is walking proof that there aren't enough differences between the Republican and Democrat party to even label them separately.Both parties are full of warhawks and are fiscally liberal.Ron Paul puts forth one of the best spending plans in the history of the world and people casually dismiss it as "radical".He's cutting $1 trillion in a year. That's fucking incredible. Our government almost shut down this summer because they couldn't agree to $10 billion in cuts! Have we ever had a single President cut spending by $100 million? I doubt it. That's 1/1000th of a trillion.
10/18/2011 10:02:33 PM
Don't worry, he's becoming more outspoken and annoying to the real Republicans. They probably won't invite him to the next debate.The only reason they've kept him around this long is so Romney can demonstrate how gracefully he will handle the republican fringe lunatics.Too bad he's not a well-spoken white male in his early 40's. Someone might actually listen to him.[Edited on October 18, 2011 at 10:18 PM. Reason : .]

The thing I respect about Paul is that he is 100% committed to his principles. He is one of the only politicians I can think of off hand that you'd have a hard time accusing of "flip-flopping" I don't necessarily agree with his views (especially in regards to women's rights-abortion) but the man has integrity, which few politicians have anymore.
