Media Caught Lying About Presidential Candidates' Popularity


In this video, Jerry Day, a TV producer in Burbank, CA exposes the stunning disconnect between the major media version of the U.S. Presidential election coverage and candidate popularity trends on the internet.  

See for yourself who the real frontrunner is when you ask the American people. 

Yes. Surprising as it may seem, Ron Paul is actually still in the race! Although you wouldn’t know it based on major media coverage, which has gone so far as to exclude him completely, making it appear as though McCain is the sole Republican in the running. 

Aside from his dedication to principle, good old fashioned American freedom, and the American constitution, there are many other reasons why I support Ron Paul, and a major one has to do with his devotion to your health freedom. He believes in:

  • Expanding the ability of Americans to use alternative medicine and new treatments.
  • Opposing legislation that increases the FDA‘s legal powers.
  • The notion that the government should never have the power to require immunizations or vaccinations.

More so than any other presidential candidate, Ron Paul is trying to improve the fatally flawed health paradigm in time to benefit you and your children. 

If you agree with Ron Paul‘s message of freedom and liberty then JOIN THE CAUSE and SPREAD the word! Search my site for previous Ron Paul videos and send them to ALL your friends and relatives, and remind them that Ron Paul is still in the running.

There are 1.3 million people that receive this newsletter. We CAN make a HUGE difference. If only a small fraction of you can spread this message in YOUR networks, your communities, and at work, just imagine what we can do.

Imagine a nation that robs its own people blind, where liberty, freedom and justice no longer exist. Where the people are denied their civil liberties. Where the people are beaten, tortured and threatened by those who are supposed to protect and serve us. Where our sovereignty no longer exists. Where our government is ruled by corperations and special interests. Where the polititions sell us out every day and pass legislation that demolishes our freedoms.
Imagine a government that spits upon the constitution, that delibertly demolishes our economy, that starts wars for no reason, that spies upon its own people, that imposes illegal taxes upon us, that builds concentration camps on our own soil to inprison it's own people, that allows law enforcement to attack innocent people, that arrests those who protest against the government, that is imposing fascist policies against the people such as the REAL ID ACT, The Patriot Act, The Veterans' Disarmament Act among others, that breaks their own laws and rules to silence the people.
Imagine a people too fearful to stand up for their rights, that allows the government to trample allover them, that no longer has the ability to speak up against their oppressors, that has been disarmed and inprisoned by the government, that constantly lives in fear.
Is this our fate? Is this the story we shall tell to our children?
America was once a great nation but due to our own ignorance we allowed tyrants to deceive us, to impose their own will upon us. We had a chance to set things right, to restore freedom and order but we were too scared, too fearful of what would happen to take the chance our forefathers took just a few hundred years ago. They risked everything to create a new nation, where the people live in freedom and no government can take those rights away.
We have only one shot to change things not just for ourselves, but for our children and future, I think Ron Paul coud help change that.

Correct on all points!  Now think what happens when Osama Obamma gets placed in office and your guns are immediately confiscated by flaming liberal doo gooders in the interest of 'national security'. Remember those who will not defend freedom do not deserve it and it will be denied them by the forces of socialism.

God is STILL in control of every situation. If Ron Paul or any of the others get elected then it's a part of God's plan for the U.S. and the rest of the world. I know it's a scary thought, but you can't change Gods plan. If the U.S. is meant to go down...it WILL go down IF it is indeed in Gods plan.

Of course the voting systm is manipulated,everyone knows that. This is the very reason I don't vote anymore. THEY will let WIN the election WHO THEY want to win the election. Nobody can do ANYTHING about that. All you can do it pray and pray long and hard for the sanctification of the United States of America!

Germanjam,

You are right in many respects, but to give up and say that the voting system is rigged and we can't do anything about it is WRONG!  We need to speak out about that and demand that they return to paper ballots.

Another thing people can do is become a state delegate.  We didn't even know the importance of that until we got involved in the Ron Paul campaign.

Germanjam,

Talk about a sheep!!  You just bury your head and let them take your country.

God never said that your rights and freedoms, etc would just come to you easily.  He wanted you to be made better by the fight for what is right and what you deserve.  Sounds like you haven't read your bible if you think that it is in his plan for you to be unhappy.  The US, for all it's faults, is still one of the best places on this earth.  I don't think that it would further Gods plan to take it down.

THANK GOD YOU DON'T VOTE ANYMORE!!    Now maybe THAT was in his plan!!

Excellent job JWRM42!!!!

I hope you don't mind, but I'm going to send your fine little speech along to my email friends...typos and all (ha).

Regarding elections, there is a passage in the book (highly recomended by Ron Paul) "Against Leviathan", by Robert Higgs that (in my words) basically says that we are fooled if we still believe that elections are real and not just a carnival aiming to keep the masses believing they have some say in the government. This is a tremendous book. Ron Pauls comment on the back cover says. "Defenders of liberty need look no further for intellectual ammunition. Theis hard-hitting book exposes the multitude of ways the growth of the welfare-warfare state threatens our freedom and prosperity".

We really have only one choice in this election if we want to keep at least some of our liberties, and that is to vote for Ron Paul...even if we have to write him in.

As far as Ron being assasinated if elected...my guess it'll happen before, if it looks like he has a chance. But if he got into office, he would have a difficult time getting his agenda passed, given all the opposition from both parties. Still, it would be a real signal that all is not lost for the U.S.

Regarding election tampering, the "We the People Congress" has law suits going in most states to do away with voting machines and "back room ballot counting", and get back to what's stated in the Constitution. If you want to support this action, go to givemeliberty.org

We have to continue to get the word out about Ron Paul...it's truly up to us.

Thank you for saying that What Else!! God doesn't work alone... God works through us. My parents are like that and they say things like "well i will just leave my problems to God".... and there they sit watching tv, being fat and spouting insults at everything they see...well to me it sound like they gave up!! We have to fight for  what is right^-^ otherwise we will become mindless robots...

No imagination needed....it's the world we live in. Even a good man such as Ron Paul can't change the world we live in. I truly believe we are the generation of the "end times". Just take a good look around...everything related to humanity seems to be falling apart. Only the "second coming" will bring good back to our Planet.

As far as "leaving it up to God" ...get a grip...the bible I have talks about God giving us free will....such a lazy co-out...I don't have to do anything...God will take care of it for me....YOU ARE LAZY and you don't deserve any rights or freedom, you make me sick....He helps those who help themselves and allowing rights and freedoms to be destroyed is the real sin.  The war against  terror is the real sin....the Bush crime family is the real sin......If you are not outraged you are not paying attention!

WOW I did not know about this google site! WOW.....I always thought that Ron Paul should have had MUCH more mass media coverage...I guess they just want to be able to consolidate and socialize the media further....lord knows...they don't want the people to know the REAL truth! They'd lose their mega salaries.

GO RON PAUL...WE LOVE  YOU!!

Don't fear the terrible thought of an assassination too much. Ron Paul is saying "it is not about me, it is about the message". If Ron Paul gets the majority of the people behind him who understand the message and willing to back it up, then an assassination of the good Dr. Paul will yield no success to the current leaders in keeping the power. Of course we all would be much better of when Ron Paul runs the country, but his message "No big government, Freedom Of The People" would stay whatsoever.

Man o man why am I registered as a democrat?

I wanted to vote for Ron Paul, but in the primary I got stuck voting for the lesser? evil between the democrats.  

I know a lot of people that either like Ron Paul or have not heard of him.  He really needs more coverage.

I voted in the West Virginia primary today and Dr. Ron Paul was on the ballot, along with Mitt Romeny, Mike Huckabee, and a couple of others.

This leads to the big question - Why is he not showing up as a viable canidate in the elections.  Is our ballot counting system being manipulated.  I for one think that the elections that are being held are a big con game with the winner being predetermined by those with the power to do so.

That's my question.  If so many people like him (as do I) why didn't they VOTE for him in the primaries???  So many people arounf my town were fired up about him, but he got hardly any votes.  I am starting to wonder myself now if the polls are rigged.

The 19th century European Anarchists were fond of saying "If voting could actually change anything, it would never be permitted." Regardless of the level of his popular support, Ron Paul will not be on the ballot in November. So far, however, we are still "permitted" to vote for a write-in candidate.

Cheryl, you hit the nail on the head.

We have collectively been lulled into a sense of false complacency by assuming that all of our elections are fair and honest.

Unfortunately, there are now many PROVEN examples of vote rigging and election fraud (Ohio, Florida, etc, etc). Check out www.hackingdemocracy.com and click on their video links for a sobering wake up call. Their movie, HACKING DEMOCRACY is a true classic and well worth viewing by everybody.

Also see www.blackboxvoting.org for some very in-depth work they have performed in many state elections (including a terrific expose of what happened in New Hampshire).

WE NEED TO DO EVERYTHING WE CAN to get rid of the hackable voting machines & get back to verifiable paper ballots (while watching the machine counters like a hawk). These changes can only be made by people like you and me AT THE LOCAL LEVEL to insure honest and fair elections. Get involved, get organized and take control of your local voting precincts to effect true, meaningful change.

If our votes aren't honestly counted, nothing else matters as the criminal elements of society will easily implement any policies they wish ...

The reason Ron Paul does not show up as a viable candidate is because he ran as a Republican and as a Republican he needs 1191 delegates to win the party nomination.  McCain has 1,413 delegates to date, and therefore, has unofficially won the Republican party nomination.  Ron Paul would have to run as either a Libertarian, Independent, or other to be considered.

What really scares me is I hear people say they are voting for Clinton because we "need a woman in office" or they say they are voting for Obama nbecause we "need a black man in office". AAaarrgghhh!!!! These are STUPID reasons to vote for ANYONE!!!!  Vote for the person who is not going to destroy our country.
