NEW YORK -- Ron Paul's never garnered as much media attention as other Republican presidential candidates, even after placing second in the Ames Straw Poll and remaining at the top of the pack in Iowa. And when Paul's name does come up on cable news chats, it's often in the context of being unelectable or a fringe candidate.

For Paul, who's long enjoyed a strong following online, the social media conversation has been much kinder than the national media's coverage. Pew's Project for Excellence for Journalism, in a new study analyzing more than 20 million election-related tweets from May through November, found that Paul "fared far better" than any other Republican candidate. Paul ...

Why to like the odds for a Ron Paul upset

(National Review) Ron Paul rarely makes news, and his candidacy is frequently ignored by Beltway reporters. But headlines, his aides say, are overrated. In fact, the Texas Republican’s low-key autumn was strategic. As Paul’s competitors stumbled and sparred, he amassed a small fortune for his campaign and built a strong ground operation. And with January fast approaching, his team is ready to surprise the political world and sweep the Iowa caucuses. “This was a movement when he first started running in 2008,” says Trygve Olson, a senior Paul adviser. “Now it’s turned into a highly professionalized campaign, but the energy from that last run is still ...
Following My Conscience

Following My Conscience In 1984, twenty-seven years ago this very day, three FBI agents pushed their way into my North Little Rock, Arkansas, home and placed me under arrest. My crime? Violating the Military Selective Service Act — that is, absolutely, positively, publicly refusing to register for the military draft. (I’d have resisted civilian service just as ardently.) Some folks might call it dodging the draft. But not so — I met the draft head on, and in the great spirit of civil disobedience, I resisted. Of course, there was no actual draft of young men into the military, simply a bureaucratic and regimented preparation for conscription. Seemed like the optimum time to ...

In Iowa, the "Ron Paul factor" could loom large

Ron Paul has long been the Rodney Dangerfield of the Republican presidential field: He just can't seem to get any respect. Despite polling consistently within the top three or four candidates in Iowa and New Hampshire, the libertarian-leaning congressman has not convinced most of the media and the other campaigns that he can reach beyond a dedicated group of supporters and become a serious threat to win the nomination. But with a month to go before the Iowa caucuses, Paul is leaving an increasingly significant mark on the race. On Wednesday, his campaign released a 2½-minute Web ad titled "Newt Gingrich: Serial Hypocrisy," which juxtaposed media commentary and ...

Republican Jewish Coalition Bars Ron Paul From Debate: ‘He’s misguided and extreme’
Post Date: 2011-12-02 12:29:51 by christine
25 Comments
On Wednesday, Dec. 7, the Republican Jewish Coalition will host a presidential-candidates forum featuring Michele Bachmann, Herman Cain, Newt Gingrich, Jon Huntsman, Rick Perry, Mitt Romney, and Rick Santorum. Not invited is the GOP candidate currently polling around third in New Hampshire and second in Iowa: Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas). The explanation: Paul was not invited to attend the RJC’s candidates forum because the organization – as it has stated numerous times in the past – “rejects his misguided and extreme views,” said [RJC Executive Director Matt] Brooks. “He’s just so far outside of the mainstream of the Republican party and this ...
Three Reasons Why Ron Paul Appeals to Young People

Denver talk host David Sirota wrote a very fine essay this week on Ron Paul’s appeal among voters aged 18 to 29. Contrary to common belief, this popularity is not simply a matter of their wanting to burn hippie lettuce.* Rather, Sirota says, it is that they have a principled stance against America’s endless wars. I want to approach this question from a different angle: how one’s life experience often profoundly influences one’s worldview. There are three major cultural reasons for Ron Paul’s appeal to younger voters. 1) They are on the internet more intensively than anyone else. Indeed, if you are 18, you may very well not remember life without the internet. When ...
US/Pakistan's Toxic Alliance

US/Pakistan’s Toxic Alliance - by Stephen Lendman Partnering with America has a price. Pakistan's paid dearly. Post-9/11, it's been harmed economically, politically, and strategically. Has its military now had enough and want out? More on that below. At issue is the latest November 26 incident involving NATO forces killing 24 Pakistani soldiers and injuring 13 others in two remote posts along Afghanistan's border. Army spokesman General Athar Abbas called the attack "unprovoked and indiscriminate. There was no reason for it. Map references of all our border posts have been passed to NATO a number of time." General Ishfaq Nadeem called them unprovoked blatant ...

The Washington machine mocks him. The mainstream media ignores him. His own party seems embarrassed to acknowledge his very existence, and the Democrats continue to label him “extreme.” Yet when it comes to understanding how a real free market is supposed to operate, there is no presidential candidate with more credibility than Ron Paul. As well, his approach to international diplomacy is one that should be embraced by all free market thinkers. As the Senator wrote yesterday, “Nothing promotes peace better than free trade.” Now, when I first sat down to write this piece today, I hesitated. I'm not a shill for politicians, and I have zero interest in campaigning ...
