I think that the real purpose of this was to give the impression that no one gives a shit about Paul and his campaign, by showing the near empty room in several shots they accomplished this-and it ticked me off b/c I know there are tons of people out there that support him but not that many media members that do `openly` as you can see in the press conferences shown.

If all media gave Ron Paul the same equal coverage as the other candidates, he would probably be one of the top candidates right now.

Fuck media.

my impression is that ron paul is one of the few politicians that openly point out the really really big problems we face. a lot of people don`t want to know if things are going wrong, so they don`t like the messenger either. the other candidates spend a lot of time talking about smaller, but not less important, issues that do not have as big an impact on the future of our country. that`s why even though i disagree with ron paul on a lot of things, i think he`s a good choice. just my opinion

Dude it`s all about Mike Gravel or Ron Paul. Unfortunately the powers that be will do whatever it takes, any devious tactic to make sure their paid off puppets get into office.

^ I think you were being sarcastic, but the literal interpretation is actually very inspiring to me. I think it`s great that people insist on voting their conscience and defying the media`s growing monopoly on political decisions.

So instead, republicans should go with McCain? Is that smarter? Your ignorance is quite astounding. Stop generalizing an entire country. Unless you want me to start thinking everyone in your country is equally bigoted and self-righteous.

Bah, what am I doing... it`s the internet... can`t argue with someone intelligently on either side...

"I`m not here to vote for the person who I think is going to win"
Thank you for saying that, too many people are afraid of "throwing their vote away". When you vote, just vote for who you like, don`t pay attention to big $$ campaigns, media control and smear tactics. Ron Paul has been a victim of all three.

For a second there I thought I was going to turn into a mainstream media zombie. I was chanting Hillary, Obama, McCain over and over while mindlessly viewing my television.
