[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 264847, member: 2189"] Ron sees the campaign as the means to get out a message. [URL]http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/11/07/454040.aspx[/URL] I've heard mention that Ron is not getting exposure in the campaign but in fairness to the media Ron is by no means a front runner either. Sure you can point to internet polls but those are not scientific by any stretch either. Now what is interesting is the dollar contributions and these aren't coming from mega lobby groups either. The last thing they want is a Ron Paul in the WH. That said, if you take the premise that in general the media is "so-called" liberal and that they are also anti-war and to some degree by default anti-business in the sense of international globalism then at some point if Ron can score a surprise in Iowa or NH, then some of this may change. Obviously Ron is anti-Iraq (as I understand it he voted to go into Afghanistan) and as it pertains to gov't policy manipulation by big business, he's opposed to that as well. On the liberal side where it comes to civil liberties he tends to fall right there with it although some have concern of his anti-abortion views and his wanting to control immigration which runs more to the so-called conservative side. I think Ron will become an even bigger media darling if it can be seen that he can play the finger in the eye of the neo-conservative thinking that directs the policy of the republican party and the potential of exploiting that to affect a positive for the democrats. What is potentially dangerous is if the media does play that game and the Ron Paul message as it already has begins to resonate with folks on bothsides of the isle who are more of an independent thought and open to other ideas. As things do get worse and the 2 parties runnign the show continue to show no effort to bring things into order, then the Ron Paul message could begin to experience upward movement and the dynamics of this thing could turn on it's head. Ron knows he's limited and a Congress still controlled by the 2 parties will block his every move but a lot of policy came into being by virtue of Presidential Executive Order and any sitting President can nullify any past executive order at will. This is where Ron can be the most effective and the beauty of this is that it will force Congress to take these issue on themselves and pass them into law via the proper Article 1 processes and then the beauty is the public debate of these issues and whether they stand the test of the Constitution itself. Ron will IMO kill executive prviledge that has been abused for years by past Presidents and return our country back towards a republic of representative democracy as the founding fathers set out.
