What the MSM Does Not Realize About Ron Paul Supporters

Article after article that tries to discredit or marginalize Ron Paul fails to do so with his supporters. One objective of the media may be to keep Ron Paul from gaining further support. However, if that is the goal, then the established media should know that they are already fighting a losing battle.

Ron Paul supporters know that he already differentiates himself from the other candidates with his views on what the role of government ought to be. They've researched him and know that he is ideologically consistent throughout. Whatever article is put out there to marginalize his chances or views is quickly shot down in the comments section if the article/website allows comments.

The media cannot sway a knowledgable base of supporters like they may be able to do with the public who rely on the mainstream media for information. Keep this in mind as well; most Ron Paul supporters can explain in detail why they support him to others AND win them over. I've heard time and again that when someone who has no knowledge of Paul and his views gets to do their own research on him, that they tend to think he is a good candidate as well.

Supporters of Paul know that he is a candidate that is honest and straight forward. His views might seem to be 'out there', but truth be told, thinking outside of the box is what we need right now in this country. We don't need more of the same 'in the box' thinking that has brought us to this awful position in the first place.
