i was thinking how much he would have to pay them to roof his La Jolla and Aspen houses.

CNN post debate coverage on for 40+ minutes now. How many mentions of Ron Paul? Zero. That isn't unintentional, no one can argue that case. Ari ran down the line and purposefully skipped him. Jesus, only 4 people tonight and he can't get one mention. Rick Perry has been mentioned more.

Will have been 50 minutes in when they come back. Zero mention of him tonight. That's a completely intentional blackout.

He will be intentionally ignored the rest of the way, even if he is getting 20%+ in every remaining primary. Nothing to see here!

54 minutes in. "We haven't talked about Ron Paul. He's in it for the long haul." Commercial break.

I get the sense that Ron Paul -- even at 76 -- would still be able to do manual labor better than the others, and would have a better attitude about being asked to do it.

One of Ron's lesser known accomplishments is that he was the first person to hit a home run in the annual democrats v. republicans congressional softball game.

Up close, you can tell he is in pretty amazing shape for his age.

That means nothing to me. Would you vote for Barry Bonds if he were in Congress?

GTS has a picture of him in a pool to show proof.

Just pointing it out for trivia, and I don't think Ron has ever used steroids.

But to answer your question, if he ran against Obama, hell yes, I'd vote for him. For one thing, he's more honest.

I bet Santorum wouldn't have a big problem with it either. Could you imagine if you asked Newt to take out the trash? He would start talking about the fallacy of Hefty Bags as a vessel of disposal compared to his belief in every American having a Cybernetic trash cannon named Freedom.

I bet Ron has actually taken some form of steroids. Hell, I'm 32 and have taken corticosteroids.

Of course, I meant performance-enhancing steroids. I took cortisone for a back injury when I played football, had a bad reaction, and was advised never to take steroids again, so I always list steriods as an allergy when completing medical intake forms. Almost always draws a response from the doc.

Owl, you know my stance on the issue. WHOEVER wins the Republican primary will get my vote. This clown needs to go.

ABBO

Ron Paul is attacking the status quo like never before. They tried to skip him twice during the debate and the audience protested. Then CNN completely ignores him in the post-debate analysis. In the 20+ on-line polls asking who won the SC debate I looked at this morning, Ron Paul lead in all them (most by a wide margin). Ron Paul's ultimate goal is the presidency but he has a multi-front war plan. He will rack-up as many delegates as he can and steer the GOP towards his Restore America initiative. This is a big reason he is reluctant to run as a 3rd party candidate. He is trying to get others elected as well under his initiative. I personally think Ron Paul could make a lot of noise as a 3rd party candidate. Regardless, everything Ron Paul is doing helps shed light on many of America's problems. The despicable agenda of main stream media is just one issue that Ron Paul's candidacy is exposing. He is the completely opposite of the narcissist Newt. Ron Paul is doing it for "We The People", while Newt (and others) are doing it for their ego.

I would kill for Ron Paul to go 3rd. Eventually the establishment will wake up.

Herman Cain, Rick Perry, and Colbert are getting more news time than Ron Paul. It's a travesty.
