Well, last night’s CNN/YouTube Presidential Debate was… interesting, for libertarian candidate Ron Paul. As News Long Island reports, mentioning Ron Paul’s spat with John McCain over Iraq:
“Although this was a camera filled exchange for Paul, it clearly seemed that questions were steered away from Paul during the entire debate and that both video questions which were directed to Paul from YouTube users both contained spoon-fed derogatory questions about conspiracy theories and whether he would run as a independent, because he clearly wasn’t going to win the primary.
“According to the New York Times, two planes were circling overhead, one flying a Ron Paul banner, another with lights spelling out his name. A ship to support Ron Paul circled in the bay just outside the hall and just beyond the security fences erected around The Mahaffey Theater, Mr. Paul’s loyal supporters waited and cheered with shirts and stickers and other assorted Paul gear.
“CNN treating Ron Paul as a minor candidate, moving the camera from his as much as possible, and limiting his role at the debate easily comes into question. Paul pointed out that he had 5,000 people of all races turned out for his rally outside Independence Hall in Philadelphia.
“Noticeably agitated, Paul stated ‘Did you know that our campaign raised over 4 million dollars – in one day’?”
CNN are out of touch if they think Ron Paul is not a force to be reckoned with in this race. All the signs are that his message is resonating with an unprecedented number of average Americans – CNN ignores him to the detriment of their own credibility.
