Who Is A Smarter  Ron Paul Or John McCain?

How Smart Is The Media? 
What Makes A Hero?

In watching the Florida debates a number of things came to mind.   One is that many in the media may have a big ego problem.  It seems like there is a poll every hour.  Polls to really find out what people think or polls to make news and stories?

Then we have the media who feel  their job is to listen to what is said, tell us what was said, AND then tell us what we should think about what they told us was said.  How quickly they (the media) decide a person is a lower tier candidate and then attempt to speed the process of them dropping to that tier by ignoring them as much as they can.

It has happened with Mike Huckabee after the So. Carolina race.  Even though he finished second.  All the media want to talk about is McCain, Romney, Giuliani.  Yet the ONLY person Giuliani beat in So. Carolina was Duncan Hunter.

Then the Florida debates.  5 people standing but at the start of the debates it appeared there was only 3 candidates.  How can the public really make an informed decision when the media doesn't ATTEMPT to give everyone an equal amount of time to get their ideas out there?

Then a statement was made that the debates are usually 2 hours but at the request of all of the candidates this debate was only going to be 1 1/2 hours.  Why doesn't the network MSNBC really attempt to do some reporting and give some background on that statement.  What candidates asked for, wanted,  or demanded only 1 1/2 hours compared to 2 hours?

I know that people have been campaigning hard and they may be tired.  But what job are they asking for?  If they can't campaign and then stand for 2 hours to answer questions, then are they really capable of being President of the United States?  If MSNBC really wants to report some real news, then report who asked or demanded what, on the time of this debate.

Who Is Smarter?

Then we get to Ron Paul.  How they like to ignore him or smile like he is crazy.  Most of what he is saying isn't crazy.  It is different then from what we hear from most, but a great deal makes a lot of sense and is correct.  He comes in 2nd in Nevada but nothing is really said about it.  Rudy Giuliani hasn't beaten Ron Paul yet, but that is never brought up.

One of the worse persons to give looks like Ron Paul is crazy is John McCain.  It is very disrespectful and it has happened very many times.  Check the debate tapes.  After the Florida debate maybe the looks come because he just isn't smart enough to understand.

In the Florida debate when candidates asked questions of each other, Ron Paul asked a question of John McCain.  When Mr. Paul said his question was for John McCain, Mr. McCain give one of those disrespectful (the man is crazy) smiles.  Ron  Paul asked John McCain a question about the economy.

The look on John McCain's face was priceless.  It was obvious that John McCain didn't understand or know what answer to give to the question.  He attempted to give an answer but it was so obvious that he was trying to answer a question that he didn't know how to answer.

If Ron Paul was allowed to question John McCain for 10 minutes, John McCain would show just how unprepared he is to be President.  John McCain should never give Ron Paul another disrespectful smile because he showed that Ron Paul is smarter then he is.  Some Ron Paul supporters should get this and put it on Youtube.

 It should have been an embarrassing moment for John McCain, yet the smart media made no comment about how bad Ron Paul's question made John McCain look.

What Makes A Hero?

Why does John McCain get a pass on this?  What part of being a POW readies someone to be President?  How can someone who has been in Washington for over 20 years and has been part of the problem, how can they with a straight face say they can change Washington?  It is obvious from McCain's attempt (and it was a bad attempt) at answering Ron Paul's question about the economy, that he is not comfortable with economy issues.  At this time in our history we need a President who has a grip on the economy and its issues. 

John McCain is being very dishonest on many of his positions 
Maybe he should talk to us about McCain-Feingold a little more. 

Maybe he should talk to us about McCain-Kennedy some more.  NOT that he gets it or has heard the borders need to be sealed first, but what he really thinks about illegal immigration, where his heart really is with this, NOT what he has heard.

Maybe he should talk with us about the Gang Of 14 some more.

Maybe he should talk with us some more about how he voted against the Bush Tax Cuts and how now he says they should be extended.

Maybe he should study a little bit and attempt to REALLY answer Ron Paul's question.
