Ron Paul Gets More Attention—and Scrutiny

Are you kidding me? The media isn't ignoring him? After the debate last night, you would think it was a 3 man race, and Santorum was one of those men. All three of the other candidates did nothing but bash one another last night, but had nothing bad they could say about Ron Paul. Except one point Rick Santorum, incinuated Ron Paul wasn't pro life. A man who has actually helped to bring life into the world, the only one who has a reasonable and cogent plan to end legalized abortion in the country and you attack him on Pro-life issues.
The media and the GOP are going to be in for a huge awakening if they aren't careful and stop marginalizing DR. Paul. That's right Doctor, you know, the "Doctor" John King tried to skip last night on medical questions.
Your industry has become a joke.

Gov't employees are allowed to purchase the refundable ticket (I know b/c I am one). The Ron Paul spokesperson explained that he upgraded to 1st class with his frequent flyer miles or paid out of pocket. That should be easily verified if you took the time to check it. Seriously if that is all you got on him - he still has my vote. By the way I am also former Military (I noticed you did not have AA, AE or AP as a choice for your states....why to support the troops).

Negative stories like this make Ron Paul supporters stronger in their convictions to elect an honest man like Ron Paul.

Yea what a hit piece. How about telling how much of the congressional allowance Paul gives back to the treasury or that he refuses to take a pension. Bottom line Paul spends far less than any of the others.

America will become irrelevant. Hosts of examples where America cannot 'win'. I'm amazed Americans think 1.5 billion Muslim people living by the standard of get out! America or anyone else.. can be defeted in a military manner. How ignorent do people need to be of any view other than their own..
We cannot 'defeat' Afgan anymore than N. Vietnam. Try and get it, they have all the time, we have little, and little money left.
All through history Imperial countrys have failed, ALL have failed. We will fail, it does not work just because your in the biggest one yet.
It's time peolpe understand the the rest of the world(85%) loves America but the whole world(85%) hates American Imperialism.

this ap story is totally false and misleading, shame on media for continuing to report without changing. http://ronpaulflix.com/2012/01/ron-paul-exposed-flying-first-class-on-congressional-trips-jan-17-2012/

funny there's no mention that Ron Paul has publicly and repeatedly stated that he will only accept a salary of $40,000 if elected president. This would return all that money and then some. And what about all the noney he returns every year which far outweighs the difference between first class and regular fares.
just more 1/2 news
