Who would have thought that of the much-despised and ignored "Dr. No"? What's more, Ron here beats Mr. Media-Darling Barack Obama by a couple hundred searches (remember: these aren't "likely voters". This little exercise only reveals online demand for keywords, but it is revealing in and of itself.)
If you want to get a grasp of the news blackout being perpetrated on Ron Paul, go to Google News or Yahoo news and type in his name and see what comes back: a few blog entries, and other than minor back-country papers with low distribution only the lone WorldNetDaily. Fox News? Even NewsMax, the supposedly conservative online publication? Drudge Report? Forget it! Not a whisper.
The same thing is true among the polls. Go to Rasmussen.com and look for Paul's name or mug shot anywhere. Good luck, by the way!
Sam Brownbag, on the other hand, was recently interviewed by Medved on his radio show. Brownbag claims the news media is blacklisting him, too.
Nope. Not so.
The 'New York Crimes' paper click here gives him considerable coverage for an otherwise unknown candidate. No surprises there, I guess: he favors amnesty for illegal migrants entering from Mexico. He'll probably also support pro-NAU legislation, like so-called 'conservative' Rep. Katherine Harris did when she proposed a bill last year that would create a common security perimeter around the US, Canada, and Mexico.
Also a surprise is solid conservative Duncan Hunter, who is in fourth place in this line-up behind Obama, but along with Ron Paul way, way ahead of the remaining pseudo-conservative field. Might there be a message for the GOP (mis)leadership? Hellloooo!!? Anybody listening?
I suspect the neocon Republican leadership, in conjunction with the press and media, are passing off the conservative field's actual back-runners as "likely front-runners" because they have already made their back-door deal with the Democrats' leadership, namely that the next president should be a Democrat (preferably one with the surname "Clinton"). George Bush, the younger, indicated as much in an offhand remark in early 2006 when he guffawed: "Yeah, Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton" on CBS' "Face the Nation" (see, http://www.cbsnews.com/htdocs/pdf/face_012906.pdf at pp. 8-9 of transcript).
