If they can get you asking the wrong questions, they don’t have to worry about answers.
~ Thomas Pynchon
As I watched the TV bobble-heads trying to analyze the outcome of Tuesday’s Iowa caucuses, it became evident that those whose job it is to translate the agenda of the establishment to the rest of us could not explain the Ron Paul phenomenon. I doubt that any of these people are so intellectually dense as to miss the significance of what is occurring. I am inclined more to the opinion that the voices of the lockstep-media do understand that Ron Paul’s campaign is underlain by a fundamental questioning of the assumptions and policies that have long defined politics. But these same voices understand that they dare not allow such questions to be raised on their watch. For them to do otherwise would be to risk the well-paid jobs they have hawking the corporate-state interests, forcing them into a marketplace that might not provide them equivalent incomes or perks.

Ron Paul is just a distraction, much like Ralph Nader.
ReplyDeleteThey both have some followers. Followers that will pull votes from other candidates but not enough of a base to actually win.
You need to eliminate him from your thinking or he will ensure victory of the one(s) you don't want to win.
He talks a good game and paints a pretty picture but he just can't deliver. He is already begun slipping in the polls. Focus on a more viable candidate.
