Corporate Media Ignores Ron Paul's Second Place In Louisiana
Congressman's silver in another state goes unreported
Thurs day, Jan 24 , 2008
Presidential candidate Ron Paul has finished second in yet another state caucus this week yet there has barely been a murmur from the mainstream media once again.
The Louisiana Republican Party announced the preliminary results yesterday in a press release that was roundly ignored by the corporate media:
Delegate candidates endorsed by US Senator John McCain (R-AZ) appear to have won more state convention delegate positions than any other presidential slate at the Louisiana Caucuses.
Supporters of Congressman Ron Paul (R-TX) appear to have captured the next highest number of delegate positions.
"I applaud the supporters of Congressman Paul for their enthusiasm and superior organizational ability," Chairman Roger F. Villere, Jr. said. "Our Party needs the infusion of new activists who have both political skill and a passion for protecting the freedoms guaranteed to us by the Constitution," he said. "I left the caucus with a renewed commitment to promote our core Republican principles of limited government and individual freedom, thanks to the zeal displayed by Congressman Paul's Louisiana supporters," Villere said.
Mitt Romney came in third, and no mention was made of Huckabee or Giuliani in the LAGOP's press release.
Despite a smattering of wire reports on McCain which mentioned Ron Paul's second place in passing and as ever described the Congressman as "longshot" or "outsider", the media has acted like the caucus never even happened.
The New York Times ran two main stories, one of Giuliani winning over Florida voters, another on Mitt Romney's ill will.
CNN reported on McCain courting veterans, Giuliani banking on Florida and Thompson dropping out.
The Chicago Tribune ran the headline "McCain, Romney in close race for Florida".
Ron Paul has been placed higher than Giuliani in every single caucus and primary thus far, yet the media still blanks him in favor of reporting on Giuliani.
Despite the total lack of media coverage and the fact that all other candidates decided not to campaign in Louisiana, Ron Paul was there meeting and greeting residents on Monday, a testament to his commitment and drive to deliver his message to every American.
Paul's Louisiana success comes on the back of his second place finish in Nevada at the weekend, which was also completely ignored by the media.
The ever reliable Neocon mouthpiece Fox News put up a graphic showing the results from Nevada devoid of any information on Paul! They failed to mention the #2 candidate, although they covered #1, #3 and #4!
The New York Times �official results page� on its website failed to even list Ron Paul as a candidate on Sunday, though it has since replaced Fred Thompson with Paul after the former actor dropped out of the race Tuesday.
After two second place finishes and strong showings in New Hampshire and South Carolina, it is clear that Ron Paul is a significant player in the 2008 race, yet your so called free press seemingly does not want you to realize this fact. |

| I'll admit, Ron Paul has made it further than I thought, but he has to do better than 2nd places to win. If he can;t, than the people have spoken. |

G2.......Ron Paul has won 2nd in two states with an almost complete media blackout. He has also raised huge sums of money, aswell as having the largest grassroots campaigne in American political history.
You should see the crowds he is drawing G2, just amazing. I never believed he would catch fire like this, and I have supported him from the start.
The people are making a choice G2. The media is also making one. You letting them pick your man for you? |

Feb 5th will be the test of the rear runners, the 6th will show a lot of drop outs from both parties. Than the interresting thing will be who were they drawing votes away from. Edwards says he is staying until the end, so who will that hurt or help by doing that? I'm not sure if the term is "spoiler"? No doubt, every vote a Ron Paul or another one in the rear gets, hurts someone in the front 2 positions.
It seems this election everyone is a long shot. A unliked woman, African American with a name like a terrorist, Morman, Baptist Minister, POW, 4 time devorse, and a OB/GYN. Thats now counting 2 dropouts, a TV star and Kichinich rediculed for saying he saw a UFO. Plus a few others that got far less press than Ron Paul. |

Yes indeed it's a real live cluster alright. No way of calling it right now really. I think anything is still possible at the moment.
Ron Paul supporters are doing everything they can. But in the end, as the old proverb goes. "It is those that count the votes, that decide the election, not the voters. |

| Ron Paul does seem like the best canidate for 08' in my opinion. If he stays in the race when others drop out, he may get the votes that weren't once his. |

No Republican wins this election without Ron Paul at least on the ticket. Anything else will split the Republican vote, and hand victory to O'bomba or Billery.
Ron Paul is the only Republican that could possibly swing enough indy's to beat the Demopublican and all thier Military Industrial Pack money.
None of these other Republicans has a chance in hell as they stand now. Obamas got them all smoked. Besides all but Mitt and Paul are just about broke.
Ron Paul has the money and the support to outlast all but Mitt. Who of course is financing alot of his run from his pocket. |

keep believing that, you are going to be really disappointed.
Obama , and Hillary have no chance of winning the general election. Ron Paul will drop out shortly.
We are going to be stuck voting for 2 Libs. McCain, Hillary.
The coice has already been made by the media, You will get in line with the rest of them.

I refuse to "get in line," Bloodstone.  No, the media didn't acknowledge the Louisiana caucus. Fortunately I received an e-mail from Dr. Paul explaining the success. |

Your Bloody dreaming Bloodstone! Ron Paul is not dropping out, he is in it to win it all the way.
Message from Ron (1/28/0
When I started this campaign more than a year ago, I was a somewhat reluctant candidate. I knew our message of freedom, peace, and prosperity was the right one for our country, but frankly, I didn't know how many people today would have ears to hear it.
Well, did I learn a lesson! Millions of Americans understand what ails our country, and what is needed to fix it. So, with you at my side, I am in this effort to win. Not only by building the ideas of liberty, but by getting the nomination. Our opponents would call that nuts -- you know, the advocates of more inflation, more spending, more taxes, more war. But let me explain why they are, as usual, all wet.
For one thing, for the first time since 1952, we are headed towards a brokered convention. Instead of a coronation of one of the establishment candidates, the delegates, influenced by the people, will decide. And I am afraid that this will take place in a time of heightened economic crisis. That means even more Americans will be ready to hear our message. But it also means I am really going to need your help.
One would never know this from the mainstream media, but we've only had a few primaries and caucuses, and even after the extremely important date of February 5th, we will still have more than half to go. And the Republican nominee will not be decided by the popular vote among the "leading candidates" in a few states also handpicked by the media. The nominee will be decided by the delegates. So let me tell you a little about our "under-the-radar" strategy to get those delegates.
On "Super Tuesday," February 5th, there will be 22 primaries and caucuses. I have a hunch that we're going to do very well. But, of course, the media and the rest of the establishment refuse to recognize that. It's the attitude of the small child who covers his eyes to make something scary go away. But we are not going away.
While the media focus on the couple of states they claim are important, we're competing everywhere. And the reason that we're able to do that is because of your grassroots support. You all are an asset that no other campaign has: donors, and activists who want no special deals from the government, just the Constitution.
We're competing very strongly in all the caucus states, and in all other states where delegates are up for grabs. And we're going to keep picking up delegates. Our strategy's already working.
And we're committed to winning states. I have little doubt that if we can double our efforts in this coming week, we're going to grab many delegates from other candidates. Then we'll start getting ready for the biggest moment of all - the convention in September.
The path to the convention is twisty, however. When we were in Iowa, we got 10% of the vote. But no delegates were awarded that night. That's because voters didn't directly choose national convention delegates; they selected the county and state delegates who will make that decision. And if another candidate like Mike Huckabee is no longer in the race at the time of the state convention in June, his delegates are free to support whomever they want. If we work extra hard, we can convert them into delegates for our campaign!
A similar thing happened in Nevada. We won 14% of the straw poll vote that the media reported on, but what they didn't tell you was that we may have gotten up to a third of Nevada's delegates to their county conventions! I always laughed when I heard some people say Nevada didn't matter. Nevada chooses more delegates to the national convention than South Carolina.
So, while the media will focus on the results from Florida, and probably take down the campaign of my friend Rudy in the process, those results are less important to you and me. Let them fight in Florida while we bring our message to Americans in other areas, like the economically hard-hit state of Maine.
We want to win as many delegates to the Republican National Convention as possible, even if other campaigns don't see some areas of the country as "important. But in this work, I need your help. Help me get many, many delegates to this historic convention, by these three methods.
1. Donate. Your generous contributions are essential if we're going to keep going until September. We need, frankly $5 million by February 5 to run more TV and radio ads in the Super Tuesday states. Your help means everything: https://www.ronpaul2008.com/donate.
2. Canvass. You can help us identify those who support our message in your precinct. You can help us to convert others, too. After all, your neighbors pay attention to you. I am going to visit as much of the country as I can, but I need you as my partner in your area: https://voters.ronpaul2008.com.
3. ASK others to sign-up on our website. I meet so many people on the campaign trail who don't even receive my letters! I've told my campaign to make communication with you, the engine of all this, much better. But if people don't sign up for my e-mails, that won't happen. If you could just get one extra person to sign-up, that would be great. More would be tremendous.
Help me by forwarding this e-mail to every other Ron Paul supporter you know, and urging them to join our efforts! https://www.ronpaul2008.com/join.
We've come so far, but now the fun is really starting! I have a feeling the mainstream media will move from ignoring us to attacking us. But that will be a sign of our success. Join me as we continue this great movement into year two, and to a hot convention in Minneapolis-Saint Paul. We can do it!
Sincerely,
Ron |

You don't give up the "Good" fight because you might not win! Especialy if you absolutely cannot afford to loose.
The man already has the support of millions, and they are backing that up with cold hard cash, not just sign waving.
I can't tell you he will win. But I can tell you I believe he is the only chance "America" has for remaining the America we all know and love.
In addition to that.........I would have to say this, in all of my days I have never known of a politician of his caliber.
A couple of things you might consider. First, he has recieved more donations from retired and active duty military then all of the Neo-cons have.
And......every single penny of his war chest has come directly from the people. In other words he hasn't had to sell his soul to the devil like all these other pieces of filth.
I aint voting for Endless War.
Nor am I voting for the destruction of my country and it's Constitution.
You call that a wasted vote? I call it taking a stand for whats right win or loose.
Noone.......that has ever won anything worth winning. Did so without first accepting the possibilty of defeat.
It's called Courage. |
