Comments on: Ron Paul – Two New Words For Major Media https://thewoodchips.com/ron-paul-two-new-words-for-major-media Ecological Tree cartoons having fun saving our planet one chuckle at a time Sun, 30 Oct 2016 10:23:21 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.1 By: Marty https://thewoodchips.com/ron-paul-two-new-words-for-major-media/comment-page-1#comment-16890 Marty Sat, 24 Dec 2011 18:11:05 +0000 http://thewoodchips.com/?p=2288#comment-16890 I think all those 'news'-casters were just confused and were waiting for his last name--like Ron Paul Jones or something! But it certainly isn't in character for the media to ignore a warm, moving target. Maybe they got exhausted by the dogpile they did on Herman Cain, so they'll get around to Ron Paul when they regain their strength a little. For what it's worth, he will get my vote if he gets nominated (or if he decides to run as an independent).

Your post on Wan Paw finally cleared up a mystery that has been bothering me ever since I moved to North America 7 years ago. In fact even from distant Africa when in the 2nd stone age (pre computers and complicated smart phones) I used to attempt to understand USA politics by reading Newsweek. I could never understand why presidential contenders of the same party, Republicans if a Democrat President was seeking re-election or the reverse, would spend more time and spew more bile attacking each other than those of the opposition party. That this was a peculiarity of a 2 party system crossed my mind, most other countries either have only 1 making elections very simple or many more than 2, meaning that candidates have so many targets to attack they never get around to those from their own party. Now that you have exposed the Presidential primaries for what they are, merely a reality show for TV, it all becomes clear. Obviously with this knowledge I can understand why the complexity of a candidates name is much more important than his or her qualifications or experience. It also explains why the media go to such lengths to uncover (or manufacture) even the most trivial dark secrets from the candidates life. Thank you for enlightening me and have a Merry Christmas.
