Before MSNBC deletes these reader comments, I’m posting them here (MSNBC doesn’t have copyright over other’s comments). The following is an exhaustive listing of all of the comments up to the point of this posting. Despite winning MSNBC’s own polls, and winning Fox News’ listener polls, Ron Paul has been blacked out. It seems pretty clear that the way the nomination system works, and the way the mainstream media works, is to make it impossible for anyone but the “favored candidates” to have a chance. See Ron Paul 2008 for a video of Ron Paul’s answers in the debate.
not much of a story...just a comment really, if i didn’t know who ron paul was before reading this, i certainly wouldn’t know after...you dont even mention he’s running for president or that he is a current senator... Roy, Denver, CO (Sent Tuesday, May 15, 2007 4:24 PM)

Well, since the article was so short in details, here’s some of facts about Ron Paul: He has never voted to raise taxes. He has never voted for an unbalanced budget. He has never voted for a federal restriction on gun ownership. He has never voted to raise congressional pay. He has never taken a government-paid junket. He has never voted to increase the power of the executive branch. He voted against the Patriot Act. He voted against regulating the Internet. He voted against the Iraq war. He does not participate in the lucrative congressional pension program. He returns a portion of his annual congressional office budget to the U.S. treasury every year. Ron Paul is a representative of Congress from Texas’s 14th district. He is currently seeking the Republican party nomination for president. Stephen, San Jose, CA (Sent Tuesday, May 15, 2007 4:44 PM)
Ron Paul won your own viewer poll. Yet, you are barely are willing to acknowledge his existence! It’s disgusting - and obvious to viewers! It is also quite obvious to all of us that Ron Paul is not one of MSNBC’s “annointed“ candidates. The hypocrisy you show is astonishing. Is MSNBC part of a free press? Nope! You are part of a “machine” press that wants to tell us what to think. And you make it so blatant it would be funny if it weren’t so repulsive.

As a Congressman, Paul has: -Read the Patriot Act, and voted against it -Voted against going to war in Iraq -Wants to abolish the IRS -Wants to get rid of the Federal Income Tax Even today, individual income taxes account for only approximately one-third of federal revenue. Eliminating one-third of the proposed 2007 budget would still leave federal spending at roughly $1.8 trillion - a sum greater than the budget just 6 years ago in 2000! Does anyone seriously believe we could not find ways to cut spending back to 2000 levels? Anthony, New York, NY (Sent Tuesday, May 15, 2007 4:53 PM)

I remember when he was running for congress against some liberal moron named Sneary. The folksy voice on the radio would tell everyone what this liberal moron’s position would be and how he would help destroy america. At the end of the ad, you would hear “there’s something lerry about that fellow sneary“. Of course Ron Paul won hands down. He is a good man, but there is something gravel-esque about him and that is why he probably won’t win.

Ron Paul: finally a politician who will speak the truth courageously and articulately. Rudy Giuliani should be condemned not only for his cheap, opportunistic attack on Ron Paul, but also because of his sheer lack of knowledge WHY militant Islamists decided to attack the United States. If he would read the 1996 & 1998 fatwas issued by Bin Laden, he would KNOW: the attacks were in retaliation for American meddling in the Middle East.

Yes, our “mainstream media” is bought and paid for, kind of like Pro wrestling...it’s all for show. The good news is that more and more people are waking up to that fact everyday. The propaganda machine is destroying itself over Ron Paul. The Neocons are going down ! **********Ron Paul 2008********** Cindy, Texas (Sent Wednesday, May 16, 2007 9:14 AM)
Based on what I heard, Ron Paul didn’t justify the 9-11 terrorists’ attacks, he explained why Muslim extremists are targeting the United States. Thoughout history, empires have been attacked and challenged by disgruntled peasants and barbarians. Stuart, Nashville, TN (Sent Wednesday, May 16, 2007 9:33 AM)
Ron Paul made me proud last night. It cost his campaign 25,000 to enter that debate and I’m very glad I contributed so he could educate me, FoxNews viewers, and not least Guliani and Hannity. Great, great points about Lebanon, Iran and Iraq. Karl P, Atlanta, GA (Sent Wednesday, May 16, 2007 10:02 AM)
If you want to know more about Ron Paul, take a look at U.S. House Con. Res. No. 40 of the 110th Congress. You will see that he co-authored that piece of legislation, currently PARKED PURPOSEFULLY BY THE CORPORATE CONGRESS, in committee, never to see the light of day. But to know where America is right now, you need to read every word. Go get em Dr. Paul!!!!!!!! Gary Conner, Dripping Springs Texas (Sent Wednesday, May 16, 2007 10:17 AM)
Ron Paul won the Fox News poll after the debate. No mention. That just illustrates that the people don’t decide these matters, it’s a handful of elitist party bosses and media spinsters that do. I watched the debate. He never said 9/11 was America’s fault, yet that’s the spin. Very Soviet like. We’re watching a propaganda machine mobilizing to destroy Ron Paul before our eyes, proving that this political system is corrupt beyond repair. larry blythe vinton, iowa (Sent Wednesday, May 16, 2007 10:47 AM)
Rudy Guillani: I have never seen that commetn made at a Republican Presidential Debate. He’s right. The last time a comment was made like that(regarding entagnling alliances) was from Thomas Jefferson. Mike, Pittsburgh (Sent Wednesday, May 16, 2007 10:49 AM)
Ron Paul stood his ground in the South Carolina debate 5/15/07. He spoke the truth, and those who twisted his words can be found throughout big media. Listen to the entire set of debates if you want to know how threatened FOX and big reporters - as well as the favored candidates are - by Ron Paul. They want to silence him or freeze him out, or, failing that, mischaracterize him. Take a good look at Ron Paul. Listen to the man. Then ask yourself: what sort of person would be threatened by this man? A crook? A monster? A war profiteer? Someone who gets in the way of reindustrializing the United States? Oh. Yeah. Ron Paul for President 2008 if it takes bake sales and potato races make it happen. Jo, Hampton, VA (Sent Wednesday, May 16, 2007 10:57 AM)
