Why is it that the mainstream media refuses to mention Ron Paul's candidacy for President of the U.S.?

Answer 1

Why would you use 40 points on this junk?

I guess that's why your -22 for the week and it's only Wednesday.

Answer 2

Probably because they hate libertarians.

But the news is good — for once. Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas), the libertarian congressman whose dedication to principle is one of the wonders of the world, is running for the GOP presidential nomination.

At last — a Republican who opposes our interventionist foreign policy (consistently and articulately) and who has this to say about the Iraq war. Rep. Paul opposed this rotten war from the very beginning — and, what’s going to be delightful, is that he is not going to be outdone by any Democrat regarding the Iraq issue.

Better yet, this will exacerbate the split in the GOP over the war and give antiwar activists a banner around which to repair during an election season that would otherwise feature the same rogues gallery of warmongers, fence-straddlers, and all-too-familiar faces.

He says, "we can continue to fight for the principles and values which our nation was founded upon and which have made it great...principles like limited government, individual liberty, free markets and American sovereignty. I pledge to continue to be The Taxpayers' Best Friend in Congress as I vote for lower taxes, smaller government and to faithfully uphold our Constitution."

Yadayadayada. Blahblahblah. No, just kidding. Sounds like a great candidate. Probably why he wont get to first base.

Answer 3

They are not refusing - There is no significance to his running as he will garner less then 2% of the vote. Sad but true, why waste time and resources when there is no true story

Answer 4

Who?

Answer 5

Probably because there's only about a dozen people who know, or care about it.
