Comment: I find it very interesting that with all the facts given by both McCain and Romney, they were wrong on many different areas of their own back patting. But because people are easily influenced by the most popular guy on the news that week they still seen to follow them like sick little puppy dogs. I understand that the news hates to give a "fair and balanced" view on anything that cannot benefit them financially, but i find it sickening when they completely ignore people that have their own voice and ideas that arent "main stream". People like Ron Paul will never be elected because there are other people out there that dont see the financial gain in supporting him. They'll even go as far as to cut him off in debates and try to exclude him all together. This is a flashback to the time when Harry Brown ran for office as Libertarian and the two "major" parties did everything in their power to make sure you as a people didnt hear thing that might benefit you as a whole. Ron Paul isnt that radical, he isnt crazy by any means, he just want to give everyone back what they've been loosing for years, your own identity and your ability to make decisions that make sense for you and you alone. As a whole we really need to think about why we spend so much time worrying about what everyone else is doing with their lives and start living their own. However, unless people in the main stream media openly support people like Ron Paul then this country will never be what it is truly supposed to be, free and independent and a mecca for individual civil liberties. So to those closed minded sheeple, keep following the herd and let them lead you nowhere.
