On Friday, the Wall Street Journal ran a cover photo of the Republican hopefuls set to attend the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Maryland. The caption at the bottom of the picture read: At a meeting of the Conservative Political Action Conference, an attendee holds photos of possible presidential candidates.
Notice anything bizarre about this photograph? Let’s see. There’s Scott Walker, Marco Rubio, Jeb Bush, Chris Christie, Rick Santorum, Ted Cruz, Sarah Palin and Rick Perry. Basically every insane hack and oligarch puppet imaginable is prominently featured. Yet, the man who would go on to win the CPAC straw poll, Rand Paul, isn’t anywhere to be seen.

Actually, upon further inspection, his curly locks appear to be protruding from behind Chris Christie’s gigantic skull, while his ear is softly caressing Rick Santorum’s right eyeball. The only other face that is entirely covered up seems to be the biggest laughing stock of them all, Donald Trump, who may actually be a good candidate considering his unique ability to repeatedly emerge from bankruptcy unscathed (yes, I’m joking).

While this is just one picture, and could indeed be a regrettable oversight, the reason I brought it up, is because the media shamelessly went out of its way to pretend his father, Ron Paul, didn’t exist back in 2012. It was so bad, that Jon Stewart made a classic clip exposing the entire spectacle.

Another liberal nutjob who thinks they're a writer/journalist.
The perspective jaded by liberal envy and the narrative scribed from progressive socialist democrat hypocrisy.

This is nothing but a subliminal hitjob on the brand masquerading as a news story.
Why give them the exposure?

No Ben Carson either?

What did he expect when he stabbed his dad in the back in 2012?! Thinking that he bought himself any sway with these neo-con criminals by backing Romney last go around just shows he is too naive and gullible to be president. As for papa Ron... I hope within his lifetime he finally gets the respect he deserves, his face should be on Mount Rushmore.
