Rat Says: Ron Paul gets a fair shake on Fox News? Julie Banderas of Fox News may get a scolding from the CFR wing of her employer. Her assignment was to align Ron Paul as a conspiracy nut along with Alex Jones. Unfortunately for Fox, Julie isn’t as corrupt as say a Sean Hannity and Ron navigates through these questions quite easily. Let’s hope they don’t fire Ms Banderas for her integrity.
Rat Says: This is comical, to open the debate and introduce the candidates, ABC uses a poll from the Washington Post that actually had a sample size of 100 !!! No doubt these cherry picked samples are not exactly representative of the voting population. Over 70% of those questioned have never used a computer to access their chosen candidate’s web sites. Yet ABC quotes these numbers which have Ron Paul at 2%, as if they were from a legitimate poll. This is criminally misleading, ABC is trying to decide our election.

Rat Says: Despite ABC’s best efforts and online poll spammers to discredit him, Ron Paul still showed why he is a real contender for president in 08. Paul easily won the ABC online poll with 56% of the vote. He also was dominating the Drudge Report poll until the neocons attacked the site with “bottom of the pack” Brownback spamming. Their intent is not to show Brownback as a contender but to discredit all internet voting where Ron Paul remains dominant.
Edit: What you don’t see at the end of this Ron Paul answer is Mitt Romney trying to invoke 9/11 as a reason for invading Iraq. Can someone please educate Mitt that even the diehard neocons now admit Iraq has no ties to 9/11.
