People don't trust or believe the government/media institutions that sat by while running the country into the ground.
As if Cic speaks for the "People!"
The Bush Administration, The TeaBaggers and wussy Democrats ran this country into the ground. There actually are good Republicans and Democrats who should have put a stop to the Conservative push to dismantle the USA. Their lack of action was as bad as the actions of the Right Wing Fanatics.

Where was the media in reporting this? Why weren't they warning the people about our governments actions? They promoted it for their masters in government. They helped drive this country off a cliff. That is why their criticism of Paul isn't really resonating.
Ron Paul cries like a baby when the Main Stream Media ignore him.... then when the Main Stream Media start to actually run Ron Paul stories, Ron Paul (and his supporters) cry like a baby... "Who cares what political analysts say."
because him (and the rest of us I hope) know the soul of the media......when they dont pay attention it is a slight....when they do pay attention they 'dress it up' to their own taste buds offering side dishes that dont match the main course......
THEY LIE/TELL HALF TRUTHS AND STILL GET THEIR PAYCHECK FROM THOSE ABOVE.........
are we going to remain ignorant on this?
...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......
The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.
STOP BEING GOOD DEMOCRATS---STOP BEING GOOD REPUBLICANS--START BEING GOOD AMERICANS
That is why their criticism of Paul isn't really resonating.
For the Religious followers of Ron Paul, criticism has no effect... neither do facts. The faithful believe in Ron Paul like a little kid believes in Santa!

Raw footage shows Ron Paul DIDN'T storm out of CNN interview over racist newsletters... the interview was simply done

Reports that Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul stormed out of a CNN interview earlier this week seem to be dramatically over-exaggerated.
Raw footage of the Thursday interview shows that it lasted nearly ten minutes, which is not unusually brief on the campaign trail.
After discussing foreign policy, the payroll tax, negative advertisements, and super fund PACs, the interview concluded with three whole minutes of discussion on the issue of the incendiary racist and homophobic letters that were published in Mr Paul's name in the Eighties and Nineties.
Ron Paul cries like a baby when the Main Stream Media ignore him.... then when the Main Stream Media start to actually run Ron Paul stories, Ron Paul (and his supporters) cry like a baby... "Who cares what political analysts say."
Example above is why people are tuning out what pundits and media talking heads opinions of Ron Paul, or anything else they say for that matter. The major media outlets have been disqualified by a growing number of Americans. Slanted and bias media attacks by the mainstream media like the example above is why a growing number of Americans are gravitating toward Paul. The people I talk to have an eery sense that the elitist running the two party and state media have been propagandizing the American people to maintain and expand their power and wealth at the expense of the average American citizen.
BTW.....does anyone here really give a big fat rats a$$ as to what the fox folks did for their christmas party and their families......I DONT....
I dont care what Matt Lowrey did, or Kathy Gifford or any of them......really....they dont eat dinner with us......stupid court jesters they are......DEFROCKED for they are......
...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......

Ron Paul taking credit for his "newsletter"... "I put that out on a monthly basis..." FLIP FLOP Ron Paul now denies credit for his "newsletter.

Quite the stretch Box...He never denied the Newsletter. He disavowed the racy language used by one of the ghost writers. He took responsibility for not paying close attention to all the content published.

"One of the ghost writers"... Which one? Which racist writer did Ron Paul authorize to use his name in a newsletter? Inquiring minds want to know!
Does this mysterious "ghost writer" have a name? I'm sure Ron Paul wouldn't just give a blanket authority for just any writer to "ghost write" for a newsletter attributed to Ron Paul...
What is the name of this Ghost Writer??? My guess? His initials are RON PAUL!

I think it's perfectly possible, rather than 'nonsense', that Paul used these newsletters as fundraising tools without full oversight. But it is not nothing. A fringe protest candidate need not fully address issues two decades ago that do not in any way reflect the campaign he has run or the issues on which he has made an appeal. But a man who could win the Iowa caucuses and is now third in national polls has to have a plausible answer for this. It's what happens when you hit the big leagues.
Obama did it with Jeremiah Wright, openly grappling with the past toxic association, owning it, explaining it. Paul has not had the wherewithal or presence of mind to do that. Indeed, he has not even named the association, the first step to disowning it. And unlike Obama with Wright, Paul got money from these newsletters.
It seems to me that even though I don't believe these old screeds reflect Paul's own beliefs, his new level of prominence demands a new level of accountablity, even on issues this old. If Paul did not write these newsletters, then he has an obligation to say if he knew who did, or conduct an investigation. He has had years to do this, and hasn't. And here's what you've persuaded me of in the last few days: a person who has that kind of bigotry directly printed under his name without a clear empirical explanation of why he is innocent cannot be an honorable president of the United States.
The hatred of groups of people in those letters - however gussied up by shards of legitimate arguments - is too deep and vile to be attached to a leader of the entire country. It is far too divisive. The appearance of things matters; and until Paul explains why this appears so horrible, he cannot shrug off the burden of proof.

Some believe it was Lew Rockwell but it is hard to tie him to it for sure.
