Why is it always the religious ones that turn out to be the worst? What a little political weasel stunt to pull. You know what's really sad is that the day after Ron Paul raised 6 million, he had a press conference and no one showed up. Now Huckabee has a jam packed press conference about an ad he's not going to show? What a joke. Huckabee, we see right through your smarmy tactics. The press might show up, but the people see right through your holier than thou facade into what you really are, just another politician who will do anything short of killing his own mother, to get power. The worst part is that you do all of this under the pretense of god. Spare me. I guess i shouldn't be surprised though, i mean tyrants are always draped in religion in one way or the other, so it' s really nothing new. I just wish we would stop electing them.

Gore Vidal on Ron Paul
Just found this video on realnews.com. It is a very interesting interview with Gore Vidal, he talks about what a slick candidate Hillary is and that she pretty much has the election in the bag. He then goes on to talk about Ron Paul and the fact that he is so low in the polls and yet raised 6 million in one day.
The Real News website is great, for those that don't know Real News is a new news source that doesn't take money from advertisers, government or corporate funding so they speak very openly and in depth on issues such as the media, the cia vs. the whitehouse, iran and u.s. foreign policy in general. I just love it, i mean, you don't hear the type of analysis they give. They go right after the media and the white-house and you can really tell they don't take any corporate, advertising or government funding. In my opinion this is long overdue, but at least somebody is doing something. I truly believe the media is the most damaging part of our society and this is mainly because the media is controlled by the advertisers and the government. What a refreshing change they have brought, and reporting on Paul is just the icing on the cake. I encourage everybody to support the real news, they are doing us all a great service.

Ron Paul's new ad
This is one of the best if not the best ad i've seen from the campaign. The theme is save our generation and it certainly resonates, especially the part with the little girl and her family. This is the type of direct hard hitting ad i wanted to see from the get go. This ad is more bold than the last and reflects Ron's lack of skepticism regarding the message of freedom and his campaign in general. Great job campaign and keep up the good work.
"Fox is scared of me"-Ron Paul
The Baltimore sun has this article on Paul's latest exclusion.
Not just Fox, its pretty obvious that all the major networks have been scared of Paul for quite some time. This fear has come in the form of outright hostility in most cases. If you step back and listen to these interviews he gets you would think you were in a schoolyard with a bully. The name calling, the constant marginalization, and the tone. Don't let me forget the chant that no interview is complete without - "you can't win" or my favorite - "will you run as an independent?", don't these pundits watch the other interviews and realize he gives the same answer each time he is asked? During interviews with the likes of well, anyone, i usually end up screaming at the screen of my mac in a small fit of rage due to the sheer stupidity of the questions.
So, for Ron to say "Fox is scared of me, they are propagandist for this war and i challenge them on the notion they are conservative", i was to say the least, happy. Am i the only one that said finally! Finally he's taking a jab back at them. I know most of his charm is the fact that he never loses his temper and always answers the most asinine questions imaginable with facts and examples. But he's taken so much crap its good to see these comments once in a while.
