Okay, Ron Paul's campaign ads are now playing on the TV here in Texas. Even though I see his ads everyday, he hasn't been on the news very often.
Let me rephrase that, he has been on the news lots of times, but not for very long each time. The other Republican candidates get 10-15 minute segments on the news everyday. Ron Paul is mentioned but it usually lasts less than 5 seconds. Is this fair to Ron? Personally I don't think so.
And during the CBS Evening News with Katie Couric, all of the Republican AND Democratic nominees were on the answer and question segment. But, I never once seen Ron Paul. Was this because he was busy with something else? Or was he even invited to participate?

ron paul is the only presidential candidate that is not a member of the CFR. why would the media want to endorse a candidate that isn't in cahoots with them?

What is a CFR? I know that may be a stupid question, but could you explain what it is?

I think they possibly have some stupid "standard" by which they choose who's included in these types of forums. The probably don't consider Paul's candidacy "viable" so they decided what he says doesn't matter. Which is just one example of what's wrong with our nomination process.

I agree, the nomination process should be for everybody who wants to run for president. Ron Paul is actually the ONLY Republican I would give my vote to. I don't trust anyone else out of that bunch. Especially Huckabee (he wants to change the Constitution to fit "God's standards") or that other religious nutjob (forgot his name lol).
