|
| Nevada | | |

well it looks to me like a paul/ghouliani third party ticket might just get the job done.

Freddy Cheeseball is finished after his dismal performance this weekend. Rudy the Ghoul is going down next.
Claerly, it's a three way between McKook, Mitt Flipper and Huckleberry. Paul will get a small percentage of loyal followers. That's how I see it all the way to the GOP-PER convention.

Blob,
Give it up, buddy !
Assuming that is even a legitimate claim of a post card, Forty Years ago, things were a LOT different ! The people down the street had one of those Black jockeys holding a Ring, too.
People were not as conscious of symbols as they are today!!! Perhaps you just were not around to experience what life was like then!
WHY do you think Bill Clinton was called the first Black President? WHY do you think the black still to this day love him so much and have such a hard time choosing between him and Obama?
Don't be stupid, ok? Your attempts at Hillary bashing are feeble at most !

Guliani has cops, firefighters, and other emergency responders sticking together against him. I doubt if he picked up many votes at all from that constituency. He shouldn't have messed over the 9-11 responders.
Ron Paul, with his Right-wing anarchist false promises is trying to scam people into thinking that he can "save our Country" as the local Libs put it.
The Libertarians around here start ranting about Ron Paul and their eyes glaze over as they carry on with the fervency of the Moonies, and making about as much sense.
Ron Paul is playing on the fact that there are many people who see no difference between Republicans and Democrats and aren't really into third parties. He is a third party candidate running as a Republican, and just as willing as the rest of the Repubs' candidates to lie his way to the top.

These facts really expose just how much bias there is in the media. Watching CNN on a regular basis, I see and hear about Guiliani about a hundred times a day. Ron Paul barely a mention if any at all.
Today I watched a CNN bit on the Florida Primary. The screen split 4 ways showing Romney, McCain, Huckabee, & Guiliani. The 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 5th place candidates. No mention of the 4th place candidate. It's as if he dosn't exist.
Why does main stream media fear a pro-freedom candidate so much? This only confirms what I've suspected for some time: When it comes to politics, the main stream media is nothing more than a propaganda machine!
