It was never about Ron Paul anyway. It was about people waking up. Since Ron Paul has come on the scene I have finally been able to see just what a massive army of the disaffected we have. ... whatever he is he has been a catalyst for us finding each other. I have met and corresponded with more good people since I started talking about Ron Paul than I have ever experienced before. ... He or his candidacy has made it possible for us to find each other.

Disgusting:
1. the missing photo of Ron Paul
2. Paul "polls ... in the single digits nationally." Tell the truth here: Ron Paul''s supporters don''t get polled - either because most have not voted or have not voted Republican before so are not included, or many use cell phones (or don''t answer landlines to pollsters) so don''t get polled, or Ron Paul''s name is deliberately deleted from the list of candidates (see CBS''s ''elephant'' image above to prove that point).
3. Kiss-assing slick-lying Romney and Huckster.

Message to the MSM and to CBS & FauxNoise in particular: We are going on with or without you; it''s your choice. You no longer tell us who to vote for.

Your old road is rapidly aging.
Get out of the new one if you can''t lend a hand.
For the times they are a changin''
Ron Paul 2008

It is outrageous that you are taking Fox News lead by purposely ignoring Ron Paul. The fact that his picture is missing is so flagrantly un-American. I am ashamed and embarrassed that CBS executives would try to marginalize a U.S. Congressman for God''s sake!

First Fox News excluded Ron Paul from their upcoming Republican debate in New Hampshire, even though he is polling ahead of those who have been invited and has raised more money to date than others who have been invited. He has a true grass roots campaign and set the record for fundraising when he raised $6.4 million in one day online about a week ago. It seems obvious that CBS and Fox are ignoring him in the hopes that the American electorate will as well.

I hope to see major egg on all of the executives who made this corporate decision at CBS and Fox after Ron Paul comes in ahead of Fred Thompson in the Iowa caucus and the New Hampshire primary.

He is the only candidate who has a broad cross section of Americans supporting him. Republicans, Democrats and Independents.

What is Fox and CBS so afraid of? The possibility that the American people are fed up with the Neocon Republicrat status quo?

Shame on you.

Romney is a pandering liar and so is Huckabee. Considering the loser we''ve had for the past 8 years America couldn''t survive either of them.

Why does your picture of Ron Paul in the above graphic look like an elephant?
At least you guys aren''t trying to pass yourselves off as "fair and balanced".
The fact that corporate America, including the corporate-owned news is so afraid of a little 72-year-old guy who preaches truth and the Constitution so much so that you''re even scared to show his face is very telling and blatantly obvious and possibly a violation of the media "equal time" rule for candidates. I guess you''re counting on the ignorance of the masses. We''re not all that oblivious.

Many of you still think that the swing voter is still a sleep you should think again. They were awaken by the fact that the Republicans did not listen to the voice of America. When 70 Percent want out of Iraq. When 80 Percent want health care for children you have a problem if you are on the wrong side of the fence.

Think about it the Veto only works if it is in the interest of the American people and WE THE PEOPLE are the decider not the Republican party or for that matter not even the Democrats but they are listen now so I guess it means you Republicans are in a world of truouble.

Huck--top ten most corrupt politicians. I can see why Huck would be mad that America is looking at his Liberal, corrupt record. I would hide it, too, if I were him.

I seriously can not believe that Iowans would still be thinking about voting for Huck
We need a true executive. One who will actually think before speaking, especially after a serious international incident--what did the Huckster do? He apologized to the people of Pakistan for the assassination and then did not even know the actual facts on the ground before speaking. We can not have a commander in chief who will spout off with things that he thinks sounds nice, but are factual inaccuracies (lies to you and me)
Sure, I bet he is loads of laughs at picnics and barbecues, but we need a real leader, not this bass-playing court jester (who pardoned a dozen convicted murderers and tried to steal $70,000-worth of furniture when he left the governor''s mansion...and other ethical lapses that landed him on judicialwatch.org ''s top ten most corrupt politicians list) who does not think before he speaks
Hucka has been crying all over TV that he is under attack...no, sir, we are just finally realizing what you did as governor versus what you claim to have done
We don''t like giving our hard-earned money for scholaships for adult illegal aliens. That only gives an increased incentive to stay here, and for more to come here illegally
We don''t need an anti-Catholic bigot, either (attacks on Sam Brownback during the straw poll have come back to haunt you)

Once Upon a Time in America, Marines didn''t back people who wanted to overthrow the US Constitution and Bill of Rights...Mr. Haas, Hucksterbee''s foreign policy advisor, want to scrap both and have a world governed by "elite consensus"....Apparently, the Americanism of General Smedley Butler''s Marine Corps has been replaced by the fascism of Sgt. Campbell, USMC.

GiantRobot2: "If the New Hampshire newspaper (near the state Mitt Romney is from) calls him a phony too, then Mitt Romney is in serious trouble"

LOL...that''s a good one. Let''s look at the list of the other candidates that same paper anti-endorsed:

Bush ''92
Dole ''96
W Bush ''00
W Bush ''04
Romney ''08

You might notice that these are all republican nominees. Are you recognizing a pattern here?

Iowa voters are very smart folks, they admire those with integrity and honesty. Iowa voters trust Mike Huckabee because he is consistently displaying those values.

Iowa voters have honor and integrity, they will not allow Mitt Romney on the other hand to buy them with his gobs of personal money. Iowans can see right thru Mitt Romney and how phony he is.

If the New Hampshire newspaper (near the state Mitt Romney is from) calls him a phony too, then Mitt Romney is in serious trouble. Both the Heartland and Coast to Coast know he is a phony.

If you havent had the chance to read an excellent book yet, I totally recommend "From Hope to Higher Ground" that Mike Huckabee wrote. It is a super inspiring book. Mike is like no other candidate out there, he is truly the people''s president. He is determined to bring this country up. What a great role model for society.

Mike Huckabee is the most level headed, balanced person out there. He is at the top of his game, ready to lead all to higher ground.

Huckabee has shown clearly that he is not willing to even make personal appearances in New Hampshire. Can he really not afford airfare. The NH voters would buy the "Mitt''s-Too-Rich-For-Poor-Little-Me" argument if that were the real problem. The real problem is that everbody knows that Huckabee is not an economic conservative...his appeal is only with social conservatives. He doesn''t even attempt to unify the party.

Romney is also the only one who has been handed down, and handed down wealth from his rich family. He finances his own campaign so of course he can afford to give expensive negative ad campaign money across the states.

Mike Huckabee is the peoples choice of America. We cannot be bought by dirty money and false statements.

Romney is the ONLY candidate who is not intentionally leaving states behind. I find it ludicrous that any candidate thinks they can win the general election when they completely ignore purple states in the primaries.

Do you think McCain can swing Iowa his way in the general?

Do you think Huckabee can swing New Hampshire in the general?

Do you think Guiliani can swing any states...ever?

Romney may not be the perfect candidate, but he IS running on a platform of platform inclusion and unification. He is the only candidate out there that can bring together both social and economic conservatives.
