OK now... Ron Paul is either winning, or has won, the most delegates in Iowa, Minnesota, Washington, Louisiana, Alaska, Maine, Nevada and even Massachusetts (Mitt Romney's home state) yet there is not a peep of this on Drudge, Fox News, or any other "conservative" (re: neocon) media outlet. The media, both mainstream and neocon---believing the AP's "delegate count" (a made up prediction based on straw polls)---has declared those races "over" and has already placed most of those delegates in the Romney column.
This is a disgrace!!
But while the media sleeps, the rest of the country is waking up to find that there IS an alternative to "Obamney" and it is Ron Paul.
While every mainstream or neocon media outlet speaks of Dr. Paul as "having no chance", his supporters are silently taking the country back - wresting it from the greedy, soiled hands of the corporate interests and power brokers who have been destroying it for profit for the last 50-100 years.
Dr. Paul's message of freedom, liberty, sound money, foreign restraint and constitutionaly limited government cuts across party lines and has become the new rallying cry of the youth in America. This also goes under-reported. Perhaps what the youth realize (and what some of us old-timers are slowly realizing) is that big government is not the answer.
Think about this: there are currently 90,741 governments in this country, but one---the federal government---completely drowns out the other 90,470. Is that really the answer? The 90,470 state and local governments do a better job, and are more accountable to the people, than the monstrous federal behemoth does for 90% of what governments do (national defense, immigration and regulation of interstate commerce being the exceptions). Why then all the hand-wringing about cutting the federal budget?
I think the country is starting to realize that. Let's face it, there's a whole lot of government we could do without. I also believe the country's starting to understand that there's only one candidate who would actually do something about that.
So keep an eye out because the fat lady hasn't even started warming up yet!!!
