When media tells us Ron Paul will not be President, is that a threat?

Question

First the media ignored Ron Paul. Now, Ron Paul is impossible to ignore. Ron Paul is poised to win Iowa. Now the media is telling us that Iowa doesn't matter and to ignore a Ron Paul win. The media is completely fine with anyone but Ron Paul and they ensure us that Ron Paul will not win the GOP nomination, much less become President. Corporate media has issued us our choices for President and it's anyone but Ron Paul.

I remember what happened to John F Kennedy shortly after he challenged the central bankers and Bobby Kennedy shortly after he won California on an anti-war platform.

When the media tells us that Ron Paul will not be President, are they making a threat?

Answer 1

that they did but dc fed gov controls the media and they said mitt romney does not need to win Iowa to be the chosen one by the corrupted RNC 2012.....so yes Dr Ron Paul has no real fair chance to be the president it seems Americans want it that way..as they let dc fed gov/news mouths play it..dr

Answer 2

You may want to note that the Iowa Caucus is important only because it is first; not because it's a flawless bell-weather for the Whitehouse or even the Party nomination.



Examples:



Bill Clinton lost Iowa in 92 (only 3% of the vote) - yet won the nomination.



As did Dukakis in 88.



And George Bush, Sr. in 88.



Mike Huckabee won Iowa in 08 - and lost the nomination.



See the Iowa Caucus is a non-binding, indirect election. The caucus-goers elect delegates to county conventions, who in turn elect delegates to district and state conventions where Iowa's national convention delegates are selected. And it's the Republican Iowa State Convention, not the precinct caucuses, which select the ultimate delegates from Iowa to the Republican National Convention.



Iowa is a big deal really only because pundits and the media make a big deal of it. That's all. How Paul performs in Iowa is close to meaningless. He may lose Iowa, but get the nomination. Or he could win Iowa and lose the nomination.



Predicting things through the Iowa Caucus is like predicting the weather by saying: It was raining this morning....so it will rain every day for the next 3 months.



But to address the threat question. I don't see how it's a threat. What's the media going to do to him...they've already done all they can do.



However, I would vote for Paul if I was sure he'd be assassinated on live tv. That would be cool. I was too young to appreciate Reagan being shot.



Not to mention that he was shot for a dumb reason...and the guy lived.



Lame.

Answer 3

I lost each wish some transition back to earlier 2008, that is been lots legislative replace is barely 3 years, and an entire nationalization of the U. S. economic gadget. yet no count what take place i'm proud to recognize a actual patriot like Ron Paul, and that i'm happy with the individuals that help him no count how different their evaluations are on specific themes or agree or disagree. RON PAUL = in undemanding terms straight forward individual IN GOVERMENT

Answer 4

What Ron Paul needs to do is announce a choice for VP that scares the hell out of the opposition. One of JFK's biggest mistakes was to have LBJ as a running mate. Bush and Obama played it smart with Cheney and Biden. Another mistake JFK made was to appoint RFK Attorney General. RFK went after the mafia and JFK shouldn't have made enemies out of the Mafia, the Cuban exiles, the CIA and the bankers all at the same time. You have to pick your fights in this world.

Answer 5

The media is rooting for Romney, I know they annoy me too! Im for Gingrich! I love Glenn Beck too but he is making mad the way he bashes Gingrich! I want someone to BEAT OBAMA! I know Ron Paul can't beat Obama, well in my opinion.

Answer 6

No. It means they do not know anyone who will vote for him, I don't know anyone who will either.
