Media Manipulation Alert: Democrat Media Urges Ron Paul to Run as a Third Party Candidate
If you are a low-information voter, and get all your data about the GOP field from the tee vee and dinosaur media, you have been told for the past 5 years that GOP Frontrunner Ron Paul is completely unelectable. He’s a zero! Move along, nothing to see here.
If that’s true–and Ron Paul stands no chance–why is the Democrat-controlled media doing everything in its power to derail Ron Paul’s campaign? Why does the Democrat-Controlled Media feature GOP Frontrunner Ron Paul in just 2% of news stories about the GOP field, when he consistently polls between 10% and 13% (and conversely, why is Rick Perry #1 in news coverage when he only polls at 8%?)
The latest attempt to deep-six the candidacy of GOP Frontrunner Ron Paul is a blog post in The Hill, in which a writer who was previously hostile to Ron Paul is suddenly calling for him to run as a third party candidate. Brent Budowsky writes breathlessly,
It has been said of Mitt Romney that he has been a liberal, a moderate and a conservative. What will the next Mitt Romney be? Is there any serious conservative who trusts him? Of course not. If Ron Paul runs for president as a third-party candidate against Obama and Romney, he changes the entire dynamic of the campaign and totally transforms the national debate….Ron Paul would pick up significant new support running against two establishment figures such as Obama and Romney. He would win support from a wide tier of voters who would see Romney as a distrusted, establishment, old-Wall Street and banking country-club Republican.
Whaaaaa? If Ron Paul is so wonderful compared to Mittens Romneycare (and he is!) and can beat Obama (which he can!), why the hell would he, or anyone, want him to run as a guaranteed loser third-party candidate?
Oh, that’s right–to ensure that Mittens Romneycare is the nominee.
I suspect that the internal polls that are being conducted by the Obama Regime (I mean, Campaign) are showing that GOP Frontrunner Ron Paul can beat Teh Won, especially if disaffected black voters stay home on election day–and Mittens Romneycare can’t.
Ron Paul is in a dead heat with Barack Hussein Obama in many GOP preference polls. In the most recent survey I could find, Ron Paul beats BHO 47% to 28% among independents. And in many states, like New Hampshire, there are more registered Independents than Republicans or Democrats.
GOP Frontrunner Ron Paul has raised over $12,000,000 in campaign contributions, 96% of which come from grassroots individual donors, making him #3 in fundraising behind Mittens and Perry–despite the media blackout. Most recently, Ron Paul supporters raised nearly $3 million during a 5-day Money Bomb, from 44,000 individual donors.
Ron Paul’s top 3 sources of donations are members of the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Army and U.S. Navy. He receives more donations from active duty military than all other GOP candidates combined.
And the GOP strategist show below says, “Ron Paul could win–he could win the nomination” because Perry is a flash in the pan, Cain is a neophyte, and “Romney can’t get through the South on Super Tuesday.”
So, the moral of the story is: DON’T LET THE DEMOCRAT-CONTROLLED MEDIA PICK YOUR CANDIDATE.
If they want Ron Paul to run a third-party campaign, there’s a reason for that–and the reason (whatever it is) is bad news for the GOP.
George Will correctly informs Republicans that a President Romney would be too afraid of making actual, hard decisions to save the country from economic ruin
George Will’s new column on Mittens Romneycare is out. You can read it here.
Essentially, Will clearly spells out that Mittens is just not the sort of politician who can be counted on to make tough, unpopular decisions that will be needed to get our economy back on track.
One area of Mittens’ long history of taking both sides of just about every issue that Will highlights is Mittens’ flip-flopping on ethanol subsidies; Mittens changes his opinion base on whom he is speaking to in a room on that particular day.
Ethanol subsidies are part of what’s tanking our economy and driving up food prices around the globe. Some days, Mittens is for them (when he’s sucking up to Iowans) and other days he’s against them (when he’s directly confronted on this by conservatives). Mittens is so afraid of bad media coverage and upsetting people he needs for his rise to power that he just can’t be trusted to do the right thing and end all ethanol subsidies and ethanol requirements in fuel.
Mittens can’t be trusted to do the right thing on anything, and would essentially be Obama-lite as president.

James O’Keefe: A REAL journalist.
If you haven’t heard of James O’Keefe, I would suggest that you go to his website, project veritas and do some catching up.
James uncovered the ACORN fraud, among other big scandals. He is relentless in uncovering the corruption that is embedded in left-wing organizations, and this time he goes after journalists. Those sainted, untouchable elites who think they are above us all.
My hats off to you, James. You nail these suckers. I look forward to more of these videos.
HillBuzz Open Thread: Saturday October 29, 2011
[ NOTE: The above is a clip from the TV show "What's My Line?", in a segment where a panel of celebrities has to guess the identity of a famous person by asking questions. Singer Marian Anderson is the guest, and I love some of the comments left on the YouTube video itself. Someone drew attention to the fact that Marian Anderson fought racism by striving for absolute perfection in her life -- she conducted herself with dignity and grace and commanded respect for her dedication to her craft. In my opinion she thus did more for black people than anyone like Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Henry Gates, or anyone else in the Race Industry ever did. ]
For those who have never heard Ms. Anderson sing, I guarantee you will never forget this voice after you’ve heard it:
Today in History:
2005 – 29 October 2005 Delhi bombings kill more than 60. Can you guess who was responsible for these murders? Muslim males between the ages of 17-41. No pattern here!
2004 – In Rome, European heads of state sign the Treaty and Final Act establishing the first European Constitution which, however, failed to be ratified by all signatory countries and therefore never entered into force. When I was in high school and college, various teachers kept insisting there would be a United States of Europe someday (and a United States of Africa too). I think recent events have proved this is never going to happen. I think that’s probably a good thing.
2004 – The Arabic news network Al Jazeera broadcasts an excerpt from a video of Osama bin Laden in which the terrorist leader first admits direct responsibility for the September 11, 2001 attacks and references the 2004 U.S. presidential election. I don’t think killing Osama bing Laden and Muamar Quadaffi help Barack Obama in the least next year. In fact, I think it actually hurts him because I can’t imagine those on the far Left are actually pleased with either of these things happening. What do you think?
1969 – The first-ever computer-to-computer link is established on ARPANET, the precursor to the Internet. Did Al Gore claim to invent this as well?
1964 – A collection of irreplaceable gems, including the 565 carat (113 g) Star of India, is stolen by a group of thieves (among them is “Murph the surf”) from the American Museum of Natural History in New York City. As terrible as this is, I have to admit that heist movies are my absolute favorite. And I really wish the thief in this caper was nicknamed “Murph the Smurf” or “Murph the Serf” instead of “surf”. I would totally pay to see that in theaters.
1964 – The United Republic of Tanganyika and Zanzibar is renamed the United Republic of Tanzania. Zanzibar is one of the greatest disappointments in life. It sounds so beautiful and exotic, so romantic. Like a magical, gleaming planet encircling a distant star. In reality, it’s a dusty s***hole off the African coast that you’d never want to even visit let alone live. Sad.
What are people in your part of the country talking about today?
What was the biggest story from this week, in your opinion?
