Ron Paul Victory Could Hurt Legitimacy of Iowa Caucuses

Why are all the Jewish journalists, like this Lauren Fox, bashing Ron Paul? Isn't this supposed to be fair, objective, and most importantly ethical journalism in this country? I feel like I'm living in North Korea where the state only feeds certain info to the people (Orwellian). The Jews in American journalism are acting the same way as totalitarian despots. They should be ashamed of themselves. Their ulterior motive is Israel so they're acting as "displaced despots" and treasonous Americans due to their loyalty for Israel coming before their loyalty for America.

'Republicans don't represent the GOP as a whole and don't vote for electable candidates.'
You Mean establishment candidates...

Ron Paul is #1 in Iowa and New Hampshire because of all the presidential candidates of both major parties, only he has repeatedly spoken out clearly and forcefully against the belligerent war propaganda and calculated lies in the bipartisan lead up to war with Iran, against the bipartisan campaign for punitive sanctions against Iran, and against further covert operations to destabilize the fragile geopolitical situation in the Mideast.
Ron Paul is not afraid to speak truth to power, which is why he is greatly admired by stalwart GOP conservatives, grass-roots tea party activists, independents, and disillusioned Obama Democrats. Accordingly the veteran Air Force flight surgeon Ron Paul receives more financial contributions and support from present active duty military personnel than all other Republicans candidates combined. They know he has seen first hand the ravages and toil of combat and as presidential commander-in-chief will not carelessly place them in harms way in no-win wars. Paul will only commit combat troops with the proper constitutional declaration of war and the full support of the American people.
Never forget that these same duplicitous chickenhawk jihadists (Gingrich, Romney, Santorum, Bachmann, and Perry) beat the propaganda war drums of “weapons of mass destruction” in the failed war in Iraq. The American people know the bitter tragedy of war. They are tired of being lied to about these futile conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. It is their sons and daughters, husbands and wives, who were seriously maimed, irreparably disabled, and needlesly killed, never to return physically or psychologically intact as they were when they marched off to these egregious follies.
The principled constitutionalist and noninterventionist Paul was right from the start about our disastrous preemptive imperial wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, right from the start about the destructive 'blowback' fomenting more hatred directed towards America, right from the start about the Federal Reserve's monetary policies creating the housing bubble which led to the 2008 financial meltdown, right from the start about the War on Drugs, the USA Patriot Act and the TSA imposing a police state upon the American people.
Ron Paul is the most decisive, authoritative, and substantive consistent conservative candidate on the crucial national security issues facing our nation. Americans have always rooted for the heroic underdog, the principled David facing down Goliath. By standing out from the pack of neocon clone candidates, Paul once again proved his forthright courage, his dedication to first principles, to the United States Constitution and the rule of law.
Ron Paul is our Cicero, our defender of the republic, a statesman of unblemished character and principled judgment. The twelve-term congressman has for decades courageously spoken out for a conservative foreign policy based upon a strong national defense of the essential core principles of liberty and justice as established by the Framers, a defense of the territorial integrity of the United States and its national borders. Peace, prudential diplomacy, international trade and commerce, and the free exchange of ideas are the key elements to a constitutional foreign policy. Only by setting an exemplary example to the world will the United States of America once again become "the exceptional nation," that "shining city upon a hill."
But Ron Paul is first and foremost a realist. America is financially bankrupt due to decades of reckless, irresponsible fiscal and monetary policies pursued by the Fed, the Congress, and the Executive branch of the state. Paul's measured conservative program of strategic disengagement from the unconstitutional pre-emptive wars of the past decade, coupled with a serious analytical reassessment of the imperial over-reach of 900 military bases in 130 nations, is the only wise course dictated by this unsustainable debt situation.

Perhaps the GOP and the media should quit messin with the voice of democracy! When Paul wins the Iowa Caucus they should get behind him. If not its gonna be a shoe-in for the obungler!

Ms. Fox, Your article is simply stupid!
Why? Because you like the rest of the media, are in fear of Ron Paul. The reason being, he is the ONLY candidate from ANY party with the knowledge, courage and integrity to lead this country by the tenets of the Constitution. And that scares you, the rest of the media and the ones in office now, because it will end 'business as usual'.

The title of this article should be:
Ron Paul victory could hurt the legitimacy of the MEDIA!!
Ron Paul will win it all in 2012!

Scott of LA 7:24AM December 21, 2011

Ron Paul can't win!
Ron Paul can't win!
And if he does, then Iowa is irrelevant....bla bla bla.
Ron Paul is a racist!
He's a Jew hater!
He's cold hearted!
He's the big bad wolf! He'll steal and eat your little baby if you don't watch out.
Can you smell the fear and disdain for the truth? The air is so thick with it that you can cut it with a knife..........
...........Newt? Romney? --or any of the rest of the welfare-warfare neocons? What about those BS throwers?
Yawn.....Is that the best you got?!?
Ron Paul........Baby!!!!
"Keep writing what your bosses tell you to write. I am sure you are scared to support Ron Paul, Liberty, and Freedom because you are afraid to lose your job! Our foreign policy is working great isn't it? Egypt Fail, Pakistan - Fail, Libya - Fail - Now ran by Taliban, Iran - We put them in power and it failed, IRAQ - Failed - They just kicked us out, and now the US is BANKRUPT!!! How is our national defense doing too? We can not even secure our own borders!
People who claim to not like Ron Paul are saying they don't like freedom, personal liberty, the constitution, limited government, the rule of law, the truth and that they DO LIKE war, federal reserve, bailouts, being controlled, fiat currency, the welfare state, and crony capitalism. I am voting FREEDOM in 2012!!! Ron Paul 2012!!!!"

Ludwig von Mises of TX 6:42AM December 21, 2011

Iowans are you tired of being threatened!? What a bunch of trash! If Ron Paul wins it will threaten the Iowa Caucus! THIS IS A VEILED THREAT! This is the same rhetoric bully's use.
