and he did so well in the 2012 primaries. IMPRESSIVE! America Loves Randian Paul.
bravo Dr. Paul. Show them how it's done:
If his campaign expense reports are any indication, someone in the Obama administration should have put Ron Paul in charge of the $787 billion stimulus program.
The presidential candidate from Texas declares absolutely everything, ProPublica is reporting today with the kind of wide-eyed astonishment that can only come from covering the usual four flushers and scalawags in Washington D.C.
In its review of the spending of all of the candidates, $306 million in all through February, ProPublica found a general forthrightness and honesty. The Federal Election Commission requires candidates to report individual purchases of $200 or more.
With Paul they found 160 purchases of a dollar or less, 99 cents spent at a Conoco gas station, 22 cents at a FedEx. The $1.27 staffer meals, the $1.09 for office equipment at Dollar Tree, the $1 for event supplies at the Salvation Army chart a campaign that is awfully tight with a buck.
Paul evidently requires the same frugality and transparency from the political action committees supporting him. Endorse Liberty, ProPublica says, files all of its expenses within 48 hours of incurring them, including the 8 cents it reported s ing out for online advertising to Google.
“We take the trust our donors place in us very seriously and are deeply committed to transparency and accuracy in our reporting,” Jesse Benton, Paul’s campaign manager told ProPublica in an e-mail.
We are pretty sure the guy who takes his campaign funding this seriously, who thought having his own Secret Service detail was a form of welfare, would have passed on that stimulus job.

America dun goof'd.
Once Again.
Always.
Forever.
Why do we keep pretending like we all don't know the msm purposely ignores him? As if he's doing so bad after the fair shake he was givenHe has never been given a fair shake. When the dialogue from the get go has always EXCLUDED him, how can you seriously bash him for his performance? That's ridiculous.
If they gave him the same publicity, things would be different. By the HUGE crowds he gets which are unheard of with the other Repub candidates...things would be very different if everything were reported fairly.
But you all already know this.

I would have thought SA210 would be sympathetic towards ignorers
How big was Paul's crowd in Florence, South Carolina?
its not the media that ignores him. Its the GOP. He has his own organization and is set up in all the counties and precincts around the country. Its a foregone conclusion that he will use that organization to run independent when he loses the primary.Why do we keep pretending like we all don't know the msm purposely ignores him?

If he does i will vote for him if only because he is third party. Him already having the organization in place to compete in national elections combined with a potential boost from federal party financing given enough of the electorate would reshape American politics even if he only came in at 10%.
You trumping him as an actual candidate to win now is laughable but its no joke what effect even a marginal success would have on politics in this country.
It is not the MSM's fault Paul has nothing to run on and has no chance of EVER getting the GOP or any other party nomination. He sucked in the debates and if his ideas are so grand then voters would support him. He only himself to blame for his poor showing in this GOP nomination process.
it's been well catalogued and do ented how the media purposefuly ignores Paul. Here is a small sample:
He is running for candidacy for the Grand Old Party. The party that still belongs to the warmongering neocons. it's not that he has bad ideas, it's that the ones who run the party pander to extremist, christian, gun toting warmongers.He sucked in the debates and if his ideas are so grand then voters would support him. He only himself to blame for his poor showing in this GOP nomination process.
You do understand that the Daily Show is MSM? I see more that Stewart points out that GOP mouthpieces are trying to ignore him. Paul just has too much of a base for them to exclude him and as I said its a foregone conclusion that he is going to run third party and siphon more votes due to his participation in the primaries.

You don't consider the Daily Show to be news commentary?
GOP/Democratic mouthpieces ARE the MSM
And while dumbing it down to equivalence might seem meaningful to you, it holds no truth for me. Stewart showed a bunch of GOP analysts from various networks. I guess its easier to brush that stroke extra broad.
WTF are you getting your news from video media anyway?
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/28/us...pagewanted=all
Here's a great mainstream media article about how he has been ignored
who cares?
That's not mainstream media!
It's a comedy show for entertainment purposes. Don't watch it but quite funny from what I seen BTW
Watch again, not only GOP analysts there. Also newscasters from CNN/NBC/FOX(aka the MSM)And while dumbing it down to equivalence might seem meaningful to you, it holds no truth for me. Stewart showed a bunch of GOP analysts from various networks. I guess its easier to brush that stroke extra broad.
The subject of their entertainment is the news, upon which they comment.
On a basic cable channel.
Owned by Viacom.
Could almost say that about Fox news
So anything news related on basic channel is MSM?
wow that newshour, what a bunch of MSM bull
You missed perhaps the most important qualifier.So anything news related on basic channel is MSM?
wow that newshour, what a bunch of MSM bull
That isn't a surprise.
i am aware of that but i was unaware that a) other than one or two of those guys that they were not GOP commentators b) your hand picked three networks were all that comprised the MSM or c) that comedy and news were mutually exclusive. Are you familiar with what satire is?
Other than satire of the news what does the Daily Show do?So anything news related on basic channel is MSM?
wow that newshour, what a bunch of MSM bull
Paul is not going to run as a third party candidate.
