The Media: “Ron Paul? Who???”

Jon Stewart was talking about this several weeks ago on The Daily Show.  Ron Paul had come in second in a poll in Iowa, and almost every newscast went on and on about the winner — Michele Bachman — and the candidates who came in third and fourth.  Not a word about Ron Paul.

This past Saturday, Ron Paul won the straw poll at the annual Spanish Inquisition Reunion   Values Voter Summit.  But like this article says, the Powers That Be will probably keep ignoring him.

First of all — WTF???  How did a convention of Salem Witch-hunting snake-handlers end up voting for a Libertarian???  Unlike the two-faced schizoid Republican Party, Ron Paul actually means it when he says “limited government.”  He’s against the wars on:  1) Iraq, 2) Afghanistan and 3) drugs; and he doesn’t hump the Bible.  What were these people thinking???

Anyway, besides the straw poll votes in Iowa and at the Values Voter Summit, Ron Paul has also won similar polls conducted by the California GOP and the Conservative Political Action Conference.  And yet he remains invisible to everyone except his diehard supporters.

I personally don’t want a Libertarian for president, but it’s refreshing to see somebody who actually means what he says.  You won’t find Ron Paul yelling “Small Government” while quietly working to ban abortion, increase the prison sentence for drug use, deciding which sovereign nation to invade next…

This is probably why so many “Freedom”-shouting Republicans hate him.

The Values Voter Summit: Exclusive Coverage

If you’re an upstanding Real American, you already know that the Values Voter Summit is being held today through Sunday at the Omni Shoreham Hotel in Washington, D.C.  Most of the GOP presidential candidates will be there, plus a lot of other conservative VIPs.

The Values Voter Summit is being sponsored by the Family Research Council and the American Family Association.  These Godfearing organizations will be warning their audience about the evils of abortion, socialism and the Homosexual Agenda.

Eric Cantor and John Boehner have already spoken.  Later today the audience will get a chance to hear Steve “my nail polish isn’t dry yet” King, Rick Perry and Laura Ingraham.

Tomorrow’s speakers include Glenn Beck, Mitt Romney and Bryan Fischer of the American Family Association.  And tomorrow afternoon there will be a lecture titled Why Christians Should Support Israel Even Though We Hate Jews.

Sunday morning will feature a worship service led by Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council.


Be there.
