The People Say Ron Paul Wins Debate, Media Covers it Up

The Daily Paul blog has compiled all the highlights of the Republican debate this morning… which coincidentally is basically everything Ron Paul said (except for some really great comments by Mike “I Heart” Huckabee). But there was a big problem with today’s debate and that is the continual censorship of the Ron Paul campaign. What do Americans want?

While speaking
to a woman the other day that had never heard of Ron Paul, she stated
“My goodness, he is amazing. He is the best kept secret of this presidential
campaign.” She could not believe there was a contender who represented
everything she wanted in a presidential candidate and more. (For those
of you who have not yet heard, Ron Paul is running for President.) She
talked about wanting to end the war in Iraq. Ron
Paul has promised to do that immediately and not leave a soldier
behind. She talked about wanting a more secure border. Ron Paul has
stated that he wants very strong
borders and he was appalled that our government had taken border
guards off of our borders to send them to Iraq. She mentioned she is
treading water financially and never seems to get ahead. Ron Paul has
a solution for that too: end
the fiat money system so Congress cannot create
monetary inflation. Well, what about privacy she asked? She felt
we have moved into an age of Big Brother. Ron Paul wants to protect
our privacy by sticking to a strict Constitutionalist policy. He wants
to end the
Patriot Act that allows the government to enter your home without
a warrant and without notifying you so you know they were there. Dr.
Paul wants to end
the destruction of habeas corpus, the only doctrine we have that
lets you see a lawyer if you land in jail. Without it, all other rights
are meaningless. Dr. Paul has voted against every attempt to regulate
and control
the Internet. He believes that the Constitution does not
give Congress a right to decide who may or may not marry, or what drugs
a physician may or may not prescribe. Ron Paul believes in limited
Federal government and limited taxes: he even wants to end
the Income tax. (Can you imagine taking home your whole paycheck?)
Continued…

So why is it that ABC reset the Republican Debate poll on their website? The poll asking who won the debate was almost entirely in favor of Dr. Paul yet ABC apparently decided that wasn’t what America really thought…

ABC TV apparently reset its tally of who won the Republican debate
it broadcast on August 5, Sunday morning.
At 10 AM EST, Congressman Ron Paul (R-Tex) was winning the debate with
over 1,000 votes. Mitt Romney was next with 106. After the debate at
approximately 11:10 AM EST when the tally was rechecked, ABC showed
Ron Paul had just 445 votes. Second was “Nobody Won. I’m
Voting Democratic.”
Of course, it could all be an innocent gliche, and perhaps ABC will
explain these tallies or see fit to rectify them. But it has long been
FMNN’s contention, along with others, that Ron Paul, an old fashioned
Jeffersonian conservative, would serve as a metaphor and magnifying
glass for America’s current political difficulties and expanding
corruption.

So what did ABC think Americans didn’t like?

Ron Paul Recieves Almost No Media Attention

A recent graphic from the NY Times shows the media coverage quantified as minutes of interview face time for each presidential candidate broken down by network. Fred Thompson has almost no face time except for the 101 minutes given to him by Fox News Channel. Anyone wonder why Thompson is emerging as the top candidate for the Republicans? Apparently News Corp has something to say about it…

Ron Paul was given the most face time from MSNBC and barely any network coverage, only 7 minutes from ABC. Ron Paul wouldn’t have a chance in the election if it wasn’t for services like YouTube and Google video that spread his message. And if his message is heard, it is infectious. It will be hard to stop Ron Paul if his message ever gets picked up by news outlets, that’s why a strong showing in the Straw Poll could have Ron Paul as an unstoppable political force by the end of August.

Recovering from a Horrible and Miserable Existence at UWalk Apartments in Charlotte, NC

I’ve finally moved in to my new house which is quite awesome. In true blogging style, I’ll be posting a review of it coming soon.

So far, the best part of moving into a new house was moving out of University Walk Apartments. Not only is it overpriced, inaccessible and annoying to enter because of a stupid poorly-implemented gate… but the management is nearly incompetent.

As I was going through the FBI Honors Internship application process I was offered an excellent opportunity at PARI which is what I decided to take for this summer, but if not for the generosity of Don Cline and the PARI team I would have been screwed over for life by the UWalk staff.

I got a call a few weeks before I started at PARI from the FBI asking for final travel arrangements because I would be starting in three days… I hadn’t heard from the FBI in two months. I did know I had an internship with them, but I didn’t necessarily pursue them either because I had a better opportunity where I am now. I thought the FBI was really crazy because they hadn’t even officially contacted me (or so I thought) to inform me of my acceptance.

So fast forward a few months… and Tim is subleasing my room from me. He calls me in mid-July to tell me that I just got a notice on my door from the front office that I got a package and the UWalk front office wouldn’t let him pick it up because he wasn’t me. I told him I’d pick it up when I was in Charlotte moving into my new house.

This weekend I moved into my house and when I was closing out my room with UWalk I decided to pick up my package. But it wasn’t just one package, it was two packages. As it turned out, UWalk had received two packages marked “extremely urgent” from FedEX and had signed off on them for me while then failing to notify me of the presence of the packages. But if that isn’t ridiculous enough one of the packages, received in mid-April, didn’t spur the UWalk office to alert me until July 13th!!! Over 4 months later!!

Sure, I can blame FedEx a little bit because I didn’t get a notice on my door from them, but it isn’t FedEx’s fault that the UWalk staff signed for my package, a package marked EXTREMELY URGENT from the Department of Justice and didn’t notify me of it for 4 months.

I think that earns University Walk apartments of Charlotte, NC the stamp of Worst Apartment Complex Ever. If I had wanted to participate in the FBI Honors Internship Program this summer I would have not had a place to live because one of the packages included housing reservation information!

UWalk management informed that they took the necessary measures to document their packages because they wrote the date on the package of when they informed the resident of the package’s presence

My girlfriend Jane was furious when she found this out and she talked to the management about it but they failed to claim any responsibility! They said “we are doing you a service by holding your packages”.

University Walk Apartments is owned by College Park Communities. Jane and I told the UWalk staff that we wanted to call the corporate offices so they gave us a number and the number simply disconnects when we called it. Screw it all. I’m done with UWalk and I hope they never have the opportunity to handle resident mail again because no one should live in such an incompetent apartment complex.
