re Ron Paul - excluding the fact that we need someone strong on the military in this time of the rising up, once again, of the Caliphate - He does espouse many strong issues. However, during 22 years in Washington, he sponsored 620 bills. Only ONE got passed - an inconsequential one allowing a federal custom house to be sold. That's a 'success' rate of 0.03%.
If you pay attention, you'll realize he doesn't talk about his past achievements - only what he'd LIKE to do. He hasn't been effective in 22 years.
The media is silent on this because Paul drains votes away from Newt. There is evidence that Paul is tag teaming with Romney - he NEVER attacks or speaks ill of Romney, nor Romney of him - in return for a plum play off - for him or his son? (Maybe for son to get VP slot?) Politics is the nastiest of businesses.
This would be the Republican Mainstream Media?
And the nastiest of people.
